MPIRE OF EVIL Working On 'Taking It All' Video
May 14, 2013MPIRE OF EVIL (formerly PRIMEVIL) — the band formed in 2010 by ex-VENOM members Jeff "Mantas" Dunn (guitar) and Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan (bass, vocals) — is preparing to film a video for the song "Taking It All" from its recently released album "Crucified". The group states: "We need/want You to be involved so… what we need is YOU!!!!!!!! Record yourself alone or with friends….saying, shouting, screaming…. FUCK YOU!!!!!!! Into camera…and use your fingers if you must!! Lol Avi files or Mp4s are perfect…. C'MON… WE WANT YOU in the video….This M:PIRE is OURS together…. Record on digital camera, DVD, phone, tape we don't care… then send to… the website… To be included, all files need to be received by June 9th… So what you waiting for? Go tell that camera what you have to…..FUCK YOU!!!!!!"
"Crucified" was released on May 7 via Deadline Music (a subsidiary of Cleopatra Records). The booklet includes art by Mantas, lyrics and band pics.
"Crucified" bulldozes through eleven tracks — including nine re-recorded versions of VENOM tracks from Dolan's time with the group — opening with the driving "Temples of Ice" and not taking its foot off the gas through the closing beast, "Taking It All" (which includes the perfect anti-chant). The riffs are dense and mighty, rhythms propulsive, and the vocals relentlessly intense. The record takes on dystopian themes of destruction, evil, and corruption and in the case of pointed tracks like "Blackened Are The Priests", all three.

01. Temples Of Ice
