01. Sharpen The Blades
02. Self Corruption Manifesto
03. The Worthless
04. The Unbinding Truth
05. Silenced
06. Wilting On The Vine

DAATH filmed a video for "Day Of Endless Light" last month in the band's hometown with director Robin Fuller (GHOST OF A THOUSAND, SHAPED BY FATE).

Commented Eyal Levi: "I hate music videos. Always have. There's been a few exceptions over the years like the old TOOL videos or WHITE STRIPES videos but for the most part they suck. Especially metal videos. How many times can we watch a group of burly dudes throwing down in a warehouse or abandoned building? With this video that was the LAST thing I wanted for us. I set out to find a team that would give us an actual work of art which could be watched and enjoyed regardless of the music. We ended up with Robin Fuller directing. We chose him because of his amazing animation skills and overall enthusiasm for the vision. The vision was to have a video shot in the style of a Frank Miller film ('Sin City') and have those shots interwoven with the art and design that Jorden Haley has created for us with [the new DAATH album] 'The Concealers'. This will not be your typical metal video."

DAATH has just kicked off the worldwide touring cycle for this effort with a month-long North American trek alongside DRAGONFORCE and CYNIC.
