Italy’s Blackened Deathcore outfit THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY, has unleashed a stunningly beautiful new cinematic masterpiece video for their new single “Pro Patria Mori”. The video clip was directed by Matteo Ermeti (Nove Film) and features the wonderful and talented actress Chiara Simonetta. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album “1901 | The First Mother”, due for release on May 5th via Fireflash Records.
Vocalist Giovanni Berselli explains: “The title — which is part of the sentence Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori from the Latin poet Horace — literally means how sweet and dignifying it is to die for one’s country. The meaning of that sentence has then been overturned by Wilfred Owen that somehow tries to tear down the same concept of nation. In my lyrics, I have tried to portrait, though using subtle images, and avoiding any clear reference to actual facts, a tortured prisoner forced to betray his most profound values.”
On “1901 | The First Mother” the five-piece lies somewhere on a vast spectrum of Blackened Deathcore and Aggressive Metal. Coming equipped with grinding blast beats, merciless brutal vocals and slaughtering rapid-fire double bass patterns their sound developed and became increasingly unique over time.
