LA-based, world music-influenced alt-metal group BLACKMORE are poised to make waves with their upcoming album NEO, out this July. Primarily made up of Armenian-American members, BLACKMORE is fronted by Greek lead vocalist K’noup of global rock artists Viza. K’noup has spent years as a seasoned frontman touring alongside bands such as Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Skindred and Gogol Bordello.
Today, BLACKMORE is thrilled to reveal their heavy-hitting new music video for the track “72”, produced and directed by Noel Ross. Take a look at the video here:
Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes video coming soon!
In reference to the video, vocalist K’noup states, “72” was filmed in a warehouse in downtown LA during the late hours, capturing the raw energy the band brings forth.”
K’noup is glad to see the fruits of the band’s labor, having recently joined as a new member. “We came together when I was asked to track vocals for a compilation concept album shortly after BLACKMORE‘s former singer had to leave. What we created thereafter was the track “Tsunami”. The immediate chemistry within the new line-up inspired us to continue to where we currently are. Music to me is never meant to be questioned no matter what the circumstance.”
Check out some behind-the-scenes photos from the “72” shoot:
