Music Video for "Masquerade"

Tyrannus Aeternum Out October 31

The neoclassical melodic death force BURNED IN EFFIGY has released the official music video for "Masquerade," the second single off their forthcoming new album, Tyrannus Aeternum.

The band comments on the concept behind the song. "This quick-paced track is themed by lyrics inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death, in which nobles host a masquerade in a secluded abbey, hoping to avoid a plague that is decimating the general population. Musically, this is one of our fastest and most melodic songs on the new album. The music video, made by Alex Zarek, encompasses a romantic demise while dancing with death."

BURNED IN EFFIGY has tapped Slam Worldwide for the exclusive world premiere of "Masquerade." Watch the video now at this location.

Rising from the heart of the Midwest metal scene, this Chicago-based quintet has announced a fall release for their much-anticipated second full-length, Tyrannus Aeternum. Following the 2022 release of their debut album, Rex Mortem, BURNED IN EFFIGY has sharpened their sound to a lethal edge. The result is an 11-track onslaught that blends the band’s skillful musicianship and technicality with volcanic brutality.

Bio:

BURNED IN EFFIGY’s roots date back to 2017. In January 2022, the band independently released its debut album Rex Mortem, which was highly acclaimed by leading heavy music media and led to the band sharing the stage with iconic acts such as ORBIT CULTURE, OBSCURA, and REVOCATION.

A must for listeners of acts such as THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and INFERI, with the band’s attention to virtuosity and intensity in equal measure, the effort and accomplishment of the band’s debut led to being talent scouted. With work on the band's sophomore album complete, BURNED IN EFFIGY aims to take its signature melodic death metal sound across the US, and in time, the world. The search for total conquest continues.
