Baptism have released the first track, The Sacrament of Blood And Ash, from their forthcoming full length album, V: The Devil’s Fire. This will be the Finnish black metallers fifth album, slated for released on 22 July 2016.
Baptism Frontman Lord S. comments on behalf of the band about the new song: “Simply put, in order to rise above we must overcome our lesser and mundane self. If we succeed in this act, time and time again, the blood of this offering will water the roots of the tree which is known as our spiritual development. The lyrics for this song were written based on my ideas by Gorath Moonthorn. Three more long-time friends are featured on this album as well and we are joined for this first preview by our brother Mikko Kotamäki from Swallow The Sun, whose voice fits the chorus perfectly.”
The clip for The Sacrament Of Blood And Ash, has been created by renowned Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu, who has worked with artists such as Mayhem, Vulture Industries, Carach Angren and many more).
