Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

The legendary Dutch Death Doom Elite ASPHYX will be releasing their new, 10^th full studio album “Necroceros” worldwide on January 22^nd, 2021 via Century Media Records.

Therefore, ASPHYX are launching a second single for the album with the song “Knights Templar Stand” today, which can also be checked out in a lyric-video created by Maurice Swinkels / Younique Film (Legion Of the Damned, Exodus, Kataklysm, etc.) here:

ASPHYX frontman Martin van Drunen checked in about the song as follows: “A mainly very heavy uptempo track about the Knights Templar battling bravely in the Levant. Outnumbered by many, standing their ground until the very end. A typical ASPHYX song in our well-known neck-breaking metal style and fashion.”

A video for the upcoming album’s first single “Botox Implosion”, also directed by Maurice Swinkels / Younique Film, can still be seen here: https://youtu.be/9zw241m3JRQ

“Necroceros” was recorded at Tom Meier’s Tom Meier Studio as well as at Paul Baayens’ The Mörserstudio and then finally mixed/mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann at Greenman Studios. The album once again features front cover artwork by Axel Hermann and contains the following tracklisting:

1. The Sole Cure is Death
2. Molten Black Earth
3. Mount Skull
4. Knights Templar Stand
5. Three Years of Famine
6. Botox Implosion
7. In Blazing Oceans
8. The Nameless Elite
9. Yield or Die
10. Necroceros
