ETERNAL LEGACY: 'The Dead Matter' Video Released

July 7, 2010

"The Dead Matter", the new video from Cleveland, Ohio metallers ETERNAL LEGACY, can be viewed below (courtesy of Wackentube, the official video site of Germany's Wacken Open Air festival). The song comes off the band's second album, "Lifeless Alive", which was released in November 2009 via Auburn Records. The music video and song will also appear on the DVD and soundtrack CD to the dark fantasy film "The Dead Matter", scheduled for release on July 30 by Midnight Syndicate Films and distributed in the U.S. by Hot Topic.

"I loved this song the first time I heard it and was really stoked to have it be a part of 'The Dead Matter' soundtrack," says movie director and Midnight Syndicate mastermind Ed Douglas. "When I saw the music video, it just took things to another level. The more I watch it, the more I get revved up for it and the film's release."

The video, which includes clips from the movie, was filmed and directed by VENOMIN JAMES guitarist Joe Fortunato. The audio movie dialogue clips were edited and produced by BREAKER drummer Mark Klein.

"The Dead Matter" is about a guilt-ridden young woman desperate to contact her deceased brother discovers a powerful ancient relic that controls the dead. Her dark obsession drags her into the tangled world of two warring vampire lords (Andrew Divoff of "Lost", "Wishmaster" and Tom Savini of "Friday the 13th", "Dawn of the Dead"),each with his own sinister plans for the artifact and a vampire hunter (Jason Carter of "Babylon 5") who will stop at nothing to destroy it. This chilling gothic dark fantasy co-produced by Robert Kurtzman (creator of "From Dusk Till Dawn", "KNB FX") features a haunting score by Halloween musicians Midnight Syndicate. It's a mix of classic horror themes with modern twists and a touch of dark humor that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The film also includes cameo appearances by Jeff Hatrix (MUSHROOMHEAD, HATRIX, PURGATORY) and Auburn Records president Bill Peters.

ETERNAL LEGACY has finished recording its third album, entitled "Seeking No Peace". Due out this fall on Auburn, the nine-song CD was tracked at the band's own Mercinary Studios in Cleveland, with ETERNAL LEGACY guitarist/vocalist Jason Vanek handling production duties. The album's first single, "Cauterize", has been completed and will be officially released later this month.

ETERNAL LEGACY will perform at this year's sold-out Wacken Open Air festival, scheduled to take place August 5-7, 2010 in Wacken, Germany. The band is set to play the W.E.T./Headbangers Ballroom Stage on Friday, August 6 from 17.25 to 18.00.
