Vocalist Chuck Billy worked with director Mike Sloat to bring the spotlight to Billy's Native American heritage — The Pomo Indians.

The band performance portion of the video was shot on the Billy Ranch in Hopland, California.

The "Native Blood" video is about the growth a Native American youth throughout the years. When faced with hatred, racism, bullying, and harassment, he uses nature's sanctuary to recharge and meditate on the lessons he learned from his grandfather to handle these very tough situations in a way to honor and dignify himself and his people.

Testament will release "Dark Roots Of Earth" on July 31 through Nuclear Blast Records.
