VINTERSEA have dropped an official music video for “Devil’s Churn”, taken from their latest album, “Woven Into Ashes”, which was released in May 2023. “Devil’s Churn”, is one of the top streamed songs from the album so the band gives us a powerful visual accompaniment.
“As soon as the album dropped, we knew ‘Devil’s Churn’ was an instant fan favorite. Jeremy’s crazy drumming, combined with Jorma’s nasty riffing, kicks the song off in a brutal fashion before we pull the rug out and switch to Avienne’s hauntingly beautiful chorus”, explains bassist Karl Whinnery, who also shoots all of the band’s music videos. “The video for ‘Devil’s Churn’ needed to capture the brutal energy of the song and showcase melancholic beauty all at the same time. What better place to capture some of Oregon’s beauty than at the wreck of the Peter Iredale? Its skeletal frame drops hints of what’s to come… ‘Devil’s Churn’ lures you in, and then you’re ours. Forever.”
“ ‘Devil’s Churn’ is a beast of a song – one that always generates huge energy and impassioned responses when we perform it live”, furthers guitarist Riley Nix. “It hits hard and fast from the first note and only lets up to take your breath away with a melodic and atmospheric moment. The heaviest and nastiest song on ‘Woven Into Ashes’ needed a nasty video, and Karl really delivered with some incredible footage of Oregon paired with high-energy band shots.“
“Woven Into Ashes” again features cover art by NE OBLIVISCARIS’ singer Xenoyr and is engineered by Gabe Johnston (UNTO OTHERS, SILVER TALON), while mixing was handled by the team of Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland (RIVERS OF NIHIL, LORNA SHORE, BLACK CROWN INITIATE) with mastering courtesy of Troy Glessner (DEVIN TOWNSEND, UNTEROATH, MOONSORROW).
VINTERSEA create a unique fusion of majestic Progressive Metal with harsh Blackened Death and Post Metal beauty which draws inspiration from the darkened skies of their Pacific Northwest home. From haunting vocal melodies to fierce growls, VINTERSEA delivers heavy, emotionally powerful and technically intriguing music that is undeniably inspired by the majesty of their surroundings. The group built an organic and devoted following through impeccable and illustrious music videos (with combined views of over 3 million), social media outreach and tours with MOONSPELL, ELEINE, OCEANS OF SLUMBER, DAWN OF OUROBOROS, GRAVESHADOW, VOICES OF RUIN and CYBER OCTOPUS, as well as playing regionally opening for FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, OBSCURA, THULCANDRA, WOLFHEART, NE OBLIVISCARIS, JINGER, THE OCEAN, ARKONA and SIRENIA.
