Brooklyn, New York-based heavy metal band Sanhedrin have released an official animated video for the track \u2018Scythian Women\u2019. Animated and directed by Mike \u201cFox\u201d Foxall, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song and video, frontwoman Erica Stoltz said: \u201cI wrote the song about an archeological discovery in Russia late December 2019. A tomb was found with the skeletons of four Scythian women warriors aged 12 to 50. They had battle scars and were buried with weapons and horses. It was the best example of pre-Christian female identity I\u2019ve ever seen. The song was my tribute to them, a way to bring their spirits into a new age, continue their story and show what women are able to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe met Mike at the 2019 edition of Hell Over Hammaburg when our band and his (Neptune Power Federation) played together. We instantly hit it off as friends and so working with him for the video was an extension of our friendship. We feel the video captures the energy and themes of the song while also providing a unique visual look and narrative to the listening experience. RIDE OUT!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanhedrin issued third full-length studio album Lights On<\/em> on March 4th, 2022 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

\u201cA record should capture the band\u2019s essence and energy,\u201d stated guitarist Jeremy Sosville. \u201cThere is a lot a band can do to enhance their sound with technology, but we try to avoid going down that slippery slope in favour of staying true to our live sound. That\u2019s not to say we don\u2019t use the tools available to enhance a moment here and there in the name of dynamics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a time where the world around you feels like it\u2019s aflame, when our heavy metal heroes are beginning to disappear to failing health or changing social norms, we, Sanhedrin, stand here as a shining light through the dark,\u201d added drummer Nathan Honor. \u201cWe are prepared to fly the flag of heavy metal in these trying and uncertain times and have only begun to show the world what we are capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lights On<\/em> was tracked, mixed and co-produced by Colin Marston at his studio Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in Queens, New York.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was once again created by SeventhBell Artwork.<\/p>\n
