KEEP OF KALESSIN recently shot a video for the song “Ascendant” in Gothenburg, Sweden with director Patrick Ullaeus, who has previously worked with such bands as DIMMU BORGIR, WITHIN TEMPTATION and IN FLAMES. According to the group, “It will be a performance video shot on white screen / green screen and judging from the raw material it will be one of the ‘baddest’ metal videos of 2008!”

KEEP OF KALESSIN is definitely the next big thing from Norway and will have a huge impact on the whole metal scene. The base of the music is for sure black metal, but KEEP OF KALESSIN are also including other influences like death metal, thrash metal and some non-metal components, making their style fresh and truly unique.

You have to be deaf to not hear the incredible potential of the band. Passion and aggression combined into one, KEEP OF KALESSIN will soon be one of the main driving forces in extreme metal and one of THE bands of 2008. Be prepared for their matchless crusade!
