NEWS: State Of Deceit announce “Stalked by Daemons”!

It may seem an awful long way off but Welsh Metalcore outfit State Of Deceit have announced the follow up to 2019 debut EP “Retribution” will drop via Eclipse Records on 13th October, a full length album titled “Stalked by Daemons”. Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Tim Hamill (Anterior) at Sonic One Studio that news has come complete with a music video for “Stalked by Daemons, Guarded by Angels” and the music video was directed by Unit 15 Productions. So a lengthy waterfall release of singles prior to the album release then…? Niagara waits you!

“The title track is such a damn bouncer, it had to be a performance vid of us playing it the way we do every week in rehearsals,” says rhythm guitarist Jonathan Russell. “The lyrical theme is serious though, about unfortunate people who are trapped as sex workers. They need lots of hope, support, and strength to help break free. The location kinda represents their environment which is falling down around us. There’s badass graffiti and the darkness is drawing in, it’s perfect place to play some heavy stuff. Working with Drew from Unit 15 Productions was great, he kept us going as the light was fading and it eventually went pitch black. We had to move all the gear back to the van after the shoot, 100m of traversing this bombed out site with just phone torches and the hope we didn’t leave any gear behind!”

Lead vocalist Pete Scammell continues, “We thought that the abandoned location really brought the song to life. A gymnasium, which was once perfect, then pulled apart and scorn through time. It was definitely appropriate to do the video there because the amount of takes made it was a real workout. Our drummer Matt did well over 30,000 steps during the session and we all felt like we ran a marathon afterwards.”

Drummer Matthew Toner adds “It is true… I did over 30,000 steps that day and then I ate a load of McDonalds after to celebrate (and recuperate)!”
