DEAD MAN IN RENO FILM VIDEO
Dead Man in Reno will film their first video for the song "From Here I Can See The Shore" from the band's recently released self-titled debut for Abstract Sounds/Candlelight Records. Conceptually scripted and directed by Ramon Boutviseth from StudioOrb (Daylight
Dies/Seemless) filming will take place Sunday, September 17 in St. Matthews, South Carolina with post-production expected for completion in early October.
Guitarist Chris Penuel says, "this video is going to be a high energy, action packed experience for everyone. It is performance based with a unique narrative to go along with it. It is very different from anything we've ever seen done before which is why we are very excited about it. I think it'll be a breath of fresh air for everyone who watches it."
Kerrang! calls the self-titled album from the Tuscaloosa, Alabama-based band "ten crunching numbers of venom-laced, top-shelf, heavy fucking metal with little room for respite...monsterous." Digital Metal says, "2006 has actually been good for metalcore - Ligeia, Rosesdead, The Hope For Change, Parkway Drive, Serapis, The Human Abstract, War of Ages, Misery Signals and others. Dead Man In Reno should be added to that short list. England's Big Cheese Magazine adds," the fantastically named ten-legged rock monster would sooner crush your skull than look you in the eye."
Dead Man In Reno have played every show allowed them since their genesis three short years ago. Diehards to the core, they epitomize the blood, sweat and tears/DIY ethic. Teaming with producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, Through the Eyes of the Dead) at Basement Recording Studios in Rural Hall, North Carolina, the band meticullously laid down their self-titled debut in a quick but intense 10-day session. The results showcase the quintet's complex duel guitars, double bass drum fills, hardcore growls and screams with classic hardcore/metal breakdowns captured to perfection.
Dead Man in Reno will tour the UK supporting Sikth beginning September 28.
The band will return to the US on October 20 where more stateside shows are planned.
