‘Legacy’. Having already shared the stage with bands such as Veil of Maya,
Intervals, Born of Osiris, The Contortionist and Norma Jean along many others. TAKE THE THRONE are gearing up for a
2015 packed with more touring, more shows and getting the mosh pit going like a
super charged blender. Their first tour this summer will be supporting Sons of

"We are extremely excited
to release our music video for 'Artificial
Heart'. The video was shot by director and cinematographer Ben Dundas and
visual effects, editing and colour grading by Igor Omodei of the band Uneven
Structure. We had a lot of fun developing the plot for this album and can't
wait to see the response from our fans! Fun fact, Nick Xourafas of the band
Structures played the role of the lead soldier in the video." comments from
guitarist Tom Jakobs.
From
the off the video houses an eerie bleakness set on stormy seas that ravish the
landscape.
The
Canadian quintet are obviously battling the elements in this cleverly put
together video that just keeps on giving, and the contagious dark heart of its
very being beats to no-one else’s drum. The eerie moments of startling brutality,
rouse some stirring moments that capture the band’s essence for a purely
vicious onslaught of the senses with vehement grooves becoming apparent as a
surging malevolence takes over and reaps its hearty revenge.
In
the dimness of light the ferocious rampage continues and from it a forceful
lure of steely vocals barbarously attack the aural cavities with extreme
infestation, leaving a smoky black haze that melts into the shadows.

“The underlying tensions brood with a
haunting malignancy that is felt through-out the track and in no time at all
bursts sonically into view, followed by a surging tidal wave of angular guitar
shrieks!”
_____________________________________________________________
The
rhythms are firm and muscular and attack without mercy. The bass throbs with
hooks of extreme intent while battling alongside are the drums that beat with
malicious excitement.
The
images captured within this five minutes and three second video are compelling
with plenty of intrigue and anticipation, and not surprisingly getting a lot of
recognition far and wide.
The
sinister energy literally bursts at the seams and protrudes with relish making
this a brutal offering that more than leaves the ears bruised but yet still wanting
more!
This
video is guaranteed to whip up a fury and leave scars in its wake!
