ORANGE GOBLIN – Behind-The-Scenes Footage Of The “Red Tide Rising” Video Brought To You By Noisecreep

Today Noisecreep premieres behind-the-scenes footage of ORNAGE GOBLIN’s “Red Tide Rising” video, the opening track off the band’s forthcoming A Eulogy For The Damned full-length, set for North American release on February 14, 2012. The video clip is loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft stories and was shot in a series of dilapidated buildings around the UK.

Elaborated vocalist Ben Ward of the video: “We made the terrible decision to make the video for ‘Red Tide Rising’ the day after the London Christmas show so it meant we all had to be up bright and early, with very severe hangovers and head down to the New Forest. Luckily it was a bright, sunny day so everyone was in good spirits and the production crew went to work setting up at the location, which was some sort of abandoned army barracks in the middle of nowhere! It could have doubled as the location for Hostel 4!

In the meantime, the band was dragged halfway across Dorset to do a photo shoot whilst being attacked by rampaging horses! When we returned, thankful to be alive, we were ready to go and the recording process was very pleasant and quite a lot of fun! We already knew that the footage of us would be mixed with some animation that we’d acquired the use of so we weren’t required to do anything too ambitious, just repeatedly go over the track imagining we were playing it to 100,000 people at Wembley stadium! Fuelled by tea and biscuits we got the job done and the results look great!”

Check out the making-of video at THIS LOCATION.

A Eulogy For The Damned is ORANGE GOBLIN’s seventh studio album and first for Candlelight Records. The ten-track offering was recorded at The Animal Farm studio in South London, UK, produced and engineered by Jamie Dodd and mastered by two-time Grammy-nominated Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson at Tube Mastering.

As reported on WWW.MANOWAR.COM THE KINGDOM OF STEEL:

This will be the fulfillment of MANOWAR’s promise made 10 years ago to return to Italy in triumph.

“The Italian fans have won; their belief, shown by their non acceptance of false metal is the reason we will finally return.” said Joey DeMaio after the announcement. “There was no compromise on our part and on the part of our loyal fans and there never will be.

There was a war between promoters as to who would bring MANOWAR back to Italy to give the fans what they want and Gods Of Metal won.”

“MANOWAR have a strong and loyal following in Italy and all over the world. This will be MANOWAR’s fourth headlining appearance at Gods Of Metal; no other band has ever done that! 2012 is the celebration of 15 years of GODS OF METAL and the festival is like a home to MANOWAR and we are once again proud to bring the band back to Italy” said Andrea Pieroni, promoter.

“We played our last festival in Italy in 2002 and we promised we would not return until we could give our fans what they deserve and this year that promise will be fulfilled. We vow to crack the earth with power and might,” said Joey DeMaio. “This will be a show which no true metal warrior will want to miss. We are calling all Manowarriors not only from Italy, but from all over the world to join us for earth-shattering, face-melting metal.” continued DeMaio.

“The voices of the Italian fans cannot be silenced, their voices have finally been heard. Other countries will take heed and your voices will be the reason MANOWAR will appear in your country next!” explained DeMaio.

“There will be more news and surprises to be announced!” promised DeMaio and added: “Check out our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/manowar for constant updates!”

LONG LIVE MANOWAR.
