"Into the Ashes", the new video from
Abigail Williams, can be viewed below. The clip will see its on-air debut on this week's
"Headbangers Ball", which airs on Saturday from 2 to 3 a.m. on
Mtv 2.
Abigail Williams frontman
Ken Sorceron comments on the making of the video: "We filmed the video underneath London Bridge in this dungeon-like area that they used to store dead bodies in. We felt right at home, minus the smell, of course. We actually had just returned to the UK, having completed some European dates. We had been going on eight straight weeks of touring at that point, so we were all pretty tired, but we got through it and had a good time."
Abigail Williams' full-length debut, titled
"In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns", was released on October 28 via
Candlelight Records. The Cd was produced by
James Murphy and features contributions from
Trym Torson (
Emperor,
Zyklon).
Commented vocalist
Sorceron: "We couldn't be happier with the results. The addition of
Trym's legendary drumming and the experience on the production/mixing end that
James brought to us has been priceless. This album wholly eclipses everything we've recorded in the past and we can't wait to begin playing the new material live."
An intense project with recording and tracking beginning in January of this year,
"In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns" contains ten new songs from the band currently featuring keyboardist
Ashley Ellyllon, bassist
Thomas G. Plaguehammer, guitarists
Mike (Kron) Wilson and
Bjornthor, drummer
Samus with band founder/vocalist
Sorceron.
