Death metal legends OBITUARY have released an animated music video for the track "Violence". The video, which was animated / directed by Balázs Gróf. The band commented on the video:

"We had a blast creating the idea for the video and to watch Balázs animate us was a very cool experience.  In the world of modern technology it is easy to shoot a music video with a camera crew and high-tech video equipment but we wanted something different. Something we hope the fans enjoy and understand that OBITUARY, though we are the godfathers of Florida death metal, don't take themselves too seriously and enjoy having fun. This cartoon is a perfect example of what kind of people we are. Not afraid to kick ass on stage but also not afraid to laugh at ourselves. We know that music is created for fans to enjoy and get away in their mind from the real world for just a few moments at a time and this video we hope makes them smile and laugh with us and at us."

Director / animator Balázs Gróf commented as well:

"I made a video for the Hungarian band Blind Myself which went on Headbangers Ball's best videos of 2008 chart and it was seen by John Tardy, who became interested in having an animated video for OBITUARY. Eventually the long awaited new studio album Inked In Blood provided the reason for making one.

I've been a fan of OBITUARY since 1990, I have seen all their gigs in Budapest during the years, so I got extremely happy when we made a deal. First I made a 18 second-long animation for a snippet of the first single Visions In My head which was quite brutal and gory, just to illustrate my concept on an OBITUARY video. The Tardy brothers dug it, however they came up with the idea of a fun video for Violence drawn in classic cartoon style. They made up the whole storyline. As most of the important elements, that was also their idea to make the band's van as a reference to probably the most famous van in American cartoon history - and which I won't name now not to spoil anyone's entertainment... I only added a few special characters to the story. Finally it was about 6 months in the making. It's been a blast and the guys were super cool throughout the process. It was big fun meeting them in person at their killer show in Budapest.

I am very honored that OBITUARY hired me to do this video. It would be so funny to go back in time to tell the 16 year-old me that this is going to happen. Obviously the poor fellow would pass out immediately!"

This needs to be stopped once and for all and it's a good thing that musicians are taking all of this into context showcasing the reality of it all. Check out the video below!

St.Louis, Missouri, metalcore outfit TEAR OUT THE HEART has announced that their forthcoming debut album will be titled Violence, out March 19th. Listen to a clip of “Infamous Last Words” HERE while also pre-ordering your copy today through the Victory Records’ webstore!

Upon inking deal with Victory Records in August 2012, TEAR OUT THE HEART began writing what would become one of the most dynamic, powerful releases of 2013. Utilizing vocalist Tyler Konersman’s all encompassing range, Violence boasts unrivaled clean singing alongside screams that are in a class of their own. “It’s a record about deception and revenge. It’s about self enlightenment and growing into a much stronger, more receptive version of your previous self. Violence is about no one being in your corner when times are at their hardest, who still want to celebrate with you at the end of the day as if they had a part in your success.”, comments Konersman.

Complete with hauntingly catchy choruses and melodies that will shock and surprise you, Violence will be stuck in your head in the best way. Konersman continues, “I realize this is terribly cliché, but it is easily the heaviest, most melodic record we have ever written; orchestrated both maturely and tastefully. Like it or not, this album is going to take over the world.”

With standouts like “Infamous Last Words”, it is clear that producer Caleb Shomo formerly of Attack! Attack!, has taken a very special interest in St. Louis’ TEAR OUT THE HEART and their aggressive delivery. AOL’s NOISECREEP had this to say upon first listen, “Violence is teeming with soaring choruses, neck-snapping breakdowns and doomsday-kissed guitars. Don’t be surprised if you see these guys headlining over some of their heroes soon.”

For fans of ATREYU, A DAY TO REMEMBER, BRING ME THE HORIZON and AS I LAY DYING, TEAR OUT THE HEART has arrived to take the world by storm, one impossibly energetic song at a time. Be sure to pre-order your copy of Violence today and prepare for the TEAR OUT THE HEART takeover! With album art beautifully executed by Dan Mumford (A DAY TO REMEMBER, PARKWAY DRIVE, GALLOWS), let the creepy, ominous castle set the stage for the chaotic, bewitching performance that is Violence.
