"Suffering Awaits is a straightforward performance music video, with very little acting” says lead vocalist Nelson Acerbus. “We chose this track because it’s an in-your-face brutal song and we wanted to come back with the new stuff at full power. Initially we were thinking of a more intricate script and storyline but slowly we changed to a more straightforward music video. We tried to translate the song’s lyrics to visual imagery through colors and contrast acting, portraying a very subtle individual thinking about what’s bothering him vs the raw nature of the song.”
