ATROCITY: 'Fade To Grey' Video Available

March 6, 2009

"Fade to Grey", the new video from long-running German metallers ATROCITY, can be viewed below. The clip includes live footage from last year's Rock Harz festival.

"Fade to Grey" comes off ATROCITY's latest album, "Werk 80 II", which was released in February 2008.

Like the first "Werk 80" release, which came out in 1997, "Werk 80 II" features ATROCITY's interpretations of hit songs from the '80s.

Asked why he chose to include "Fade to Grey" on "Werk 80 II", ATROCITY frontman Alex Krull stated, "I had a good friend who belonged to the new wave scene for a while. She often visited me at home with her friends. That's why I knew some songs from the scene, too. This song from VISAGE advanced to become an absolute cult song with an extremely high recall value due to its minimalistic approach, the distinctive synthiebass and the French-speaking female voice. That's why we engaged the French artist Jensara Swann for 'Fade to Grey'. I like how the song became an atmospheric grooving juggernaut. 'Fade to Grey' is the legitimate successor of 'Being Boiled' from the first 'Werk 80' for me."

World-famous burlesque dancer and Marilyn Manson's former wife Dita Von Teese is the cover model on "Werk 80 II".
