New Music Video - "Blood of the Throne" by MALEFIC!
Atlanta blackened death/thrash unit Malefic has dropped the official music video for “Blood of the Throne”, the explosive opening track from their latest album "Impermanence", released this past February via Terminus Hate City. The video marks a bold visual departure for the band, one that drummer/vocalist Aaron Baumoel calls “another form of artistic expression; another layer of depth to add to the media.”
“Blood of the Throne” has long been one of Malefic’s most popular tracks, a blistering blackened thrash assault built on high-speed precision picking, ornate drumming, and a soaring melodic break. The new video juxtaposes the band’s extreme-metal identity with Atlanta’s dominant hip-hop cultural influence, an intentional contrast that reflects the city they call home.
Baumoel acknowledges that some viewers may misinterpret the imagery. Despite anticipating criticism, the band stands firmly behind the concept and the talented women who helped bring it to life. The track itself explores the crushing realities of capitalism and modern power structures.
“People will always judge based on their preconceived notion of things without ever digging in below the surface. This is part of the sickness in our society. We all know who the real demons of our society are; we just don’t agree on what the solution is,” adds Baumoel.
