The new clip was created by\u00a0<strong>Jaclyn Sheer<\/strong>\u00a0and made its online debut via\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/news\/351666\/exclusive-video-premiere-the-hunger-by-tombs-pays-homage-to-cinemas-most-bloodthirsty-vampires\" target=\"_blank\">Dread Central<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;Like most metalheads, Halloween is our favorite time of year; it&#8217;s cold, dark and the veil is thin,&#8221; frontman Mike Hill comments. &#8220;Behold &#8216;The Hunger,&#8217; an homage to vampires, blood and morose decay.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Mike Hill is not a man interested in appeasing his existing audience or modifying the music he makes in the hope of luring in a broader one. Anyone doubting this needs only to look to the recorded output&nbsp;<strong>Tombs<\/strong>&nbsp;has dropped over the past decade, which while ultimately remaining rooted in the blackened, post-metallic sound vomited up on 2007&#8217;s self-titled EP has constantly diversified and evolved. With&nbsp;<strong><em>The Grand Annihilation<\/em><\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Tombs<\/strong>&#8216; fourth full-length and Metal Blade debut, this tradition is maintained, and in many ways it is the most epic, ambitious, emotionally and tonally varied of the band&#8217;s career, which is very much borne out in the subject matter. &#8220;<em>The title comes from the idea of destroying the current world to open the door for the new world,&#8221; Hill states. &#8220;The Hindus tap into this cyclical nature of the universe. The idea of Kali Ma, destroying the universe to create a new reality is a key theme both in a more universal sense and also on a personal level of destroying your own personal worlds to create a new chapter.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Following up the band&#8217;s last full-length, 2014&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong><em>Savage Gold<\/em><\/strong>, Hill had his work cut out for him, acknowledging that it was &#8220;<em>the closest we came to realizing what I thought the band should sound like.<\/em>&#8221; Showcasing a more brutal, extreme side of the band, it hit home hard &#8211; and the touring cycles that followed saw them being embraced by ever bigger crowds. Longtime fans will be aware that many musicians have come and gone from&nbsp;<strong>Tombs<\/strong>&#8216; ranks over the course of the band&#8217;s existence, most recently augmented by drummer Charlie Schmid (<strong>Vaura\/Karyn Crisis&#8217; Gospel Of The Witches<\/strong>) and guitarist Evan Void (<strong>Hivelords\/Ominous Black<\/strong>), who joined in 2014. However, while some bands might stumble with their lineup being in a state of constant flux, this has never been an issue for Tombs, and with good reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOMBS\u00a0have unleashed a music video for their new song titled &#8220;The Hunger.&#8221; The track comes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=83236"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83238,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83236\/revisions\/83238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
