WITHIN THE RUINS Unleashes "Demon Killer" Video By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, August 29, 2024 @ 10:20 AM
Progressive deathcore giants WITHIN THE RUINS are pleased to unleash their new video for "Demon Killer". The ferocious new hymn comes off of the band's Phenomena II full-length, out now on MNRK Heavy!
Phenomena II serves as the sequel to WITHIN THE RUINS' Phenomena full-length, which was released a decade ago and has reaped over 18 million streams to date! "We had written a handful of songs, and we were searching for inspiration," recalls guitarist Joe Cocchi. "We wanted to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Phenomena, because it was a pinnacle point of our career. I wrote a demo that reminded [vocalist] Steve [Tinnon] of Phenomena. So, it was his idea to create Phenomena II. The styles really aligned in terms of the unique guitar effects and the themes where each track tells a story from a comic book character's point-of-view."
With "Demon Killer", the band tempers technicality with moral ambiguity within its depiction of [DC Comics antihero] Constantine. "It checked all of the boxes by utilizing this glitchy effect we started using on Phenomena," Cocchi elaborates. ""Demon Killer" is Constantine. He was born into a world that never appreciated him. Steve is breaking down his character by talking about his internal conflicts and how he's fighting evil with evil."
"We absolutely love how this video turned out," adds Tinnon. "The imagery and effects do incredible justice to the character of John Constantine, and really encapsulate his struggle between the forces of good and evil."

Phenomena II is available on CD, LP, and digital formats.
WITHIN THE RUINS recently confirmed five Southwest headlining shows this October with support from GORE. See all confirmed dates below and stay tuned for additional shows to be announced in the weeks to come.
Their controlled chaos has resulted in tens of millions of streams (a rarity for acts this uncompromisingly heavy), packed houses on tour, and widespread acclaim courtesy of Alternative Press, American Songwriter, Loudwire, Metal Injection, Phoenix New Times, and many more.
Now, they continue to evolve on their seventh full-length offering, Phenomena II [MNRK Heavy]. "When you listen to us, we hope you feel like you found some fresh metal," notes Cocchi. "After doing anything for a long time, it's easy to get stuck in your ways. So, we always try to present something you haven't heard before - and you aren't going to get anywhere else."
"We couldn't be happier Phenomena II is finally out for everyone to hear," adds Tinnon. "We're extremely proud of how it turned out, and we hope you all enjoy the characters and songs as much as we enjoyed making it!"
