Overoth have a new video out for their track “The Keeper”, view it below courtesy of Decibel. Vocalist Andy Ennis comments:
“This song was written in the realms of dark fantasy and it was that essence that we wanted to capture on camera. It’s the story of a prisoner and his torturer… more a glimpse into this story as it leaves more questions than answers. The detainee awakens into what appears to be a nightmare. He is chained to the walls in a dank stone cell and has no memory of how he came to be there. It has all the sights, smells and sounds of a torture chamber. Any thoughts of escape, of home are crushed when he meets his nemesis, ‘The Keeper’.”
The clip was shot and edited by Adam Edgerley, and directed by the band. Guitarist Andrew Pennington adds:
“Our local area has a long history, with nearby settlements dating back to a time of stone age hunter-gatherers, the Vikings later settled here much to the distaste of the locals, and as we were scouting for locations for this video we had all this in mind, looking for something interesting… We heard of an old 5th century monastic site on a small island nearby so we went to check it out. For hundreds of years this place had been abandoned and forgotten in time. As we arrived we also found an old ruined castle and we knew immediately that this was the place we were looking for, as a setting for ‘The Keeper’ video, it was perfect.”
The song appears on the group’s sophomore album The Forgotten Tome. The effort will be in stores on September 22nd through Hostile Media, with pre-orders posted to Overoth’s Bandcamp page.
