NEWS: Genus Ordinis Dei unveil “Genesis”!

Seemingly the concept album to end all concept albums, “The Beginning” from Italian ground breaking Symphonic Death Metal trio Genus Ordinis Dei is set to premier on 8th December via Eclipse Records. Having already offered up a taste with a cinematic music video for “Changing Star“, the band have utilized the skills of Steve Saints to help them create one for “Genesis“, which introduces another new character in The Fallen.

Guitarist and producer Tommy Monticelli comments: “Shooting this video near the Valbondione Waterfall and at Fedaia Lake was the most physically difficult (and complicated) experience of the entire work. The strong winds and low temperatures made the day very difficult for everyone involved. The actors were practically naked in their primitive costumes, and their ability to focus on the script was very low. Furthermore, the mist from the waterfall was constantly getting the camera lenses wet and it was impossible to shoot at certain angles and distances. Many scenes could only be shot in “one take”, and the tension level was high and we were all stressed out. In short, it was a real challenge. I remember on several occasions; we were reviewing footage during playback and Nick was shaking from the cold while the freezing mud ran down his body. Of course, all this happening to him made his performance even more credible. Do you want to know if we won this challenge?
