LAZARUS A.D.: Behind-The-Scenes Footage From 'Absolute Power' Video Shoot

February 5, 2010

This winter, Kenosha, Wisconsin-based thrashers LAZARUS A.D. once again teamed up with Vision 4 Films to shoot their next video, "Absolute Power", which will premiere sometime before the band's upcoming tour with KREATOR, VOIVOD, NACHTMYSTIUM and EVILE. According to a press release, the clip "is a bit different than their last two in that it has a bit of a storyline. The video features a brutal underground streetfight; if you're a fan of metal and/or the movie 'Kickboxer', you'll dig this video!"

Commented lead guitarist/vocalist Dan Gapen: "We just shot the new video for our next single, 'Absolute Power'. I would say it was fun, but to be honest, it was cold, windy and rainy the day of the shoot and I froze my ass off.

"All I have to say is this fucking video better come out sweet or I'm kicking the director's ass… haha!

"I think when it's done everyone will like how it turned out. Jason and Emmitt from Vision4Films are pros at what they do; we can't say thank you enough."

The first of two "making-of" clips can be viewed below.

LAZARUS A.D.'s debut album, "The Onslaught", was released on March 3 via Metal Blade Records.

Originally known simply as LAZARUS, the band has been pummeling audiences with their brand of modern thrash since the spring of 2005. Have no doubts that LAZARUS A.D. is a thrash band, but merely in attitude as their sound is no simple throwback to the '80s Bay Area sound. They breathe a breath of fresh air into modern thrash with intelligent, memorable riffs, mid-tempo grooves, and high-flying solos.

In January of 2007, the band recorded "The Onslaught" with Chris Djuricic (SOIL, NOVEMBERS DOOM, MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO) at Studio One. James Murphy (ex-DEATH, TESTAMENT) handled mastering duties and remixed the album for its worldwide release via Metal Blade Records.

LAZARUS A.D. is:

Dan Gapen - Lead Guitar/Vocals
Jeff Paulick - Bass/Lead Vocals
Alex Lackner - Rhythm Guitar
Ryan Shutler - Drums
