Only about a week left to go until the long awaited new studio album Incoming Death by Dutch Doom Death Metal division ASPHYX is released worldwide on September 30th, 2016 via Century Media Records. Therefore, ASPHYX are pleased to debut a promotional video clip for the new album's track "Forerunners Of The Apocalypse"!
Directed by Maurice Swinkels / Younique Film (Exodus, Kataklysm, etc.), who already worked on the "Deathhammer" clip by ASPHYX, and featuring conceptual illustrations by Roberto Toderico, you can check out the video and the track here:

ASPHYX vocalist Martin van Drunen checked in with the following comment about the video:
"'Forerunners Of The Apocalypse' is the first official video from the "Incoming Death" album. Done on a hot Thursday night at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany, where massive credits go out to the crew there. Lots of sweat, beers, laughter and probably the loudest playback session ever in metal! Filmed and edited by the one and only Maurice Swinkels, who probably went deaf after this. A grand cheerz also goes out to Roberto Toderico for the great Mongol warrior drawings! It was the last track written for the album, about genocidal ruler Genghis Khan. Especially about the sacking of Urgench, where 1.2 million were decapitated without mercy. A fucken stampede of a headbanger, so break your necks on this one!"
Media reaction continues to be fantastic for Incoming Death and issue #104 of Germany's Legacy Magazine not only showcases the band on the cover (see above!) with a comprehensive title story, but it also includes an exclusive 6-track ASPHYX sampler CD dubbed "Servants Of Death" including 2 new tracks as well as 4 live cuts.
