EXTERMINATUS Releases Scenic Guitar Playthrough Video for "Starbound"

Technical death metal force EXTERMINATUS has unveiled a new guitar playthrough video for "Starbound," the third track from their latest album Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1. Shot on a vibrant spring day in Vancouver, this video captures not only the technical finesse of guitarists Elia Baghbaniyan (KIESEL) and Tabreez Azad (SCHECTER), but also a striking contrast between the band's heavy, groove-infused sound and the serene setting of Habitat Island.

"Starbound" is one of the more melodic and rhythmically driven songs on Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, showcasing EXTERMINATUS’s ability to weave atmosphere and groove into their technically dense compositions. The track is filled with uplifting leads, dynamic riff changes, and tight synchronization between both guitarists—making it a standout moment on the record and a fan favorite for playthrough content.

The video places Baghbaniyan and Azad in the heart of nature, juxtaposing the raw aggression of their playing with the peaceful backdrop of Vancouver’s coast. It’s a visual reminder of the scope and depth of EXTERMINATUS’s music: brutal yet precise, heavy yet thoughtful, grounded in earth yet reaching for the stars.

Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1 is now streaming on all major platforms and available for purchase at https://exterminatus.bandcamp.com. The album explores themes of cosmic evolution, artificial intelligence, and the existential terror of infinite recurrence—all brought to life through relentless riffs, atmospheric compositions, and blistering technicality.
