Steel City Kings, Malevolence, have have released a new single from their new album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, which is out today via MLVLTD in partnership with Nuclear Blast Records.
The video comes in response to a takedown of their previous single “Salt The Wound”, which was forcibly removed from Nuclear Blast’s YouTube channel after The National Trust threatened legal action.
“Apparently pretending to play the guitar for a couple of hours on a public path that thousands of tourists walk up every single day is a criminal offence worth pursuing,” said the band in a statement. “The video is a celebration of where we come from and we’re proud of what we made. Fortunately… Someone has anonymously uploaded a version back to YouTube,” they continued. Find the video below.
New single, “So Help Me God”, sees the band safely performing within the walls of the historic Abbeydale Picture House cinema in Sheffield.
“This song is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written. This song is a raw exploration of my own resentment, and unresolved anger” comments frontman Alex Taylor. “For the video, we wanted to match the tone of the song and have a raw performance driven video full of energy and aggression.”
