Vancouver, BC, melodic death/thrash outfit Dead Asylum has unleashed their new music video ‘Forgotten Sacrifice’ and you won’t believe what they do with a leg and a cheese grater!
Directed and produced by up-and-coming creative powerhouse Joshua Keith Young, the video is dark and suspenseful with great visuals and a storyline that captures the band’s headbanging message in support of their debut album ‘General Carnage’ released in 2013, which is available on iTunes and CD Baby.
“We had a disturbingly fun time filming the video. All the actors and crew were great and unbelievably professional. Josh [director] was amazing at bringing out the best in the cast and definitely brought the best out in us. We can’t thank him enough for it! It’s exciting to be able to give people a look into the idea of Dead Asylum.” comments vocalist / guitarist Mike Lister.
Director Joshua Keith Young also comments:
“The creative team wanted to make sure the video told a story but embodied the band’s personality as well. ‘Forgotten Sacrifice’ does a great job of featuring the band while telling a captivating and dramatic story that will affect people on an emotional level. Those words don’t often come to mind when describing a metal video, but the cast and crew are confident that when viewers see what’s being held captive in a barren dog crate, they’ll likely feel the same.”

Bio
Dead Asylum formed in Vancouver, BC at the end of 2011, featuring vocalist/guitarist Mike Lister, vocalist/guitarist Tyler Forde, bassist Tyler (Shit) Meierhofer and drummer Samantha Landa. Dead Asylum’s style spans the spectrum of metal–combining elements of thrash and death with melodic and grooving overtones–and echoes elements of band influences such as Kreator, Amon Amarth and Exodus.
Dead Asylum has become known for its throat-gripping riffs and rhythms and its energetic, balls-to-the-walls live performance. Dead Asylum “is one of those bands that’s hit the ground running” (Abort Magazine). On top of tour dates around the Western US and Canada, they’ve shared the stage with high-profile thrashers Toxic Holocaust and the legendary Anvil, and shared festival dates with Suffocation, Bison BC and Holy Grail.
Heavy and melodic, the eight tracks on Dead Asylum’s debut album ‘General Carnage’ (2013) were produced by Nick Engwer and Brady D and mixed/mastered by Chris “Hollywood” Holmes (Korn). Songs range from thrashy headbangers, to technical compositions, to chantable, heavy metal anthems. Lyrical themes include revolution and political uprising, the apocalypse, and—as the band name alludes—twisted facets of the human psyche.

“General Carnage is an impressive debut, crisply recorded and crushing….The disc features a menagerie of blistering blast beats, duelling cookie monster/ gruff hardcore vocals and weaving guitars riffs, emulating Kreator and Amon Amarth.” – BeatRoute
“Dead Asylum has quickly gained reputation and fan base in the local metal scene. Dual high and low guttural vocals are strong and fiercely brutal.” – Abort Mag
“an impressive debut (General Carnage) as the recording and sound quality is second to none. The dual high and low gutturals supplied by Lister and Forde are pretty fierce. Meierhofer has a great groove on the six string bass and Landa’s drumming ability is imposing. Don’t tell her she hits like a girl because she can blast beat with the best of them…once she’s finished blasting your face, of course.” – Gun Shy Assassin

More Bands Added To OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA! ARCHAGATHUS, SOOTHSAYER, ABDICATE, DECHE CHARGE
And the brutality keeps on coming! Obscene Extreme America has added more bands to this year’s line up for its fest taking place from August 20-23 in Montreal, QC.
Announced this week are:
10 YEARS OF MINCEGORE PARTY AT OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA!!! ARCHAGATHUS!!!
The flamboyant Manitoban grinders ARCHAGATHUS will be making their first east coast appearance in Montreal as they will be celebrating their 10 years anniversary of the most sleazy, demented mincecore tunes. Sounding like they`re straight from the sewers, these grotesque punks bring the party to OEF with their gutter riffs, repulsive vocals & groovy tunes overpopulated by perversion.
ANGRY AS FUCK ‘80S CULT CANADIAN THRASH MANIACS!!! SOOTHSAYER!!!
The troop of hate is back with some of the most devastating old school thrash metal tunes that Canada has to offer. Creating a climax of terror in 1986 with their first demo “To be a real terrorist”, SOOTHSAYER returns in 2012 with their latest album “Troops of Hate”. The roughest intesity is what you’ll get!!!
GET YOUR DAILY DOSE OF SONIC TORTURE WITH BRUTAL DEATH NEW YORKERS!!! ABDICATE!!!
Old school slamming death metal with crushing guitar tones, choleric vocals& punishing blast beats is what you can expect from this NYDM act. Unflinching brutality is what ABDICATE are praised for and you will feel their wrath at OEF when their slamming tunes come crushing your face like a ton of bricks.
25 YEARS OF TOTAL NOISE ANNIHILATION! DECHE-CHARGE!!!
While far too many bands falsely claim allegiance to “anti-music”, Quebec City, Canada’s DECHE-CHARGE have remained true to their essence over the last two and a half decades, consistantly obliterating any semblance of what could be considered listenable; alienating even the most hardened extreme musick enthousiasts. Obscene Extreme will be no exception as these “deche-cores” will hit the stage for what promises to be the most unrehearsed and ridiculous performance ever seen on an OEF stage!!!
Bands previously announced to the fest line up are:
M.O.D. aka Method Of Destruction
