I had a fantastic time directing and editing this project alongside @hollywestmusic . A big shoutout to @marvasomedia and Holly for doing an amazing job behind the camera. 🎥📺 @fraxuresofficial San Diego, California: Powerhouse SoCal metal quintet Fraxures follow up their acclaimed “Blackheart Serenade” single with a thunderous new slab of naked passion and an audacious assault upon Depeche Mode’s “Its No Good.” Featuring vocalist Travis Neal (Divine Heresy, The Bloodline) and drummer Fred Aching (BulletBoys, Dead Groove, Kings of Thrash) alongside A Hero Within alumni Nolan Davis (guitar, vocals), Vinny Marvaso (bass) and Esteban Sanchez (lead guitar), Fraxures’s distinctive sound is firmly rooted in the members’ combined experience and rich history, and a shared passion for creating earth-shattering music. With a lineup that blends raw intensity and technical precision, Fraxures continues to carve its own path in the modern metal scene, delivering crushing hooks and sinister melodies - Bravewords.com #cleopatrarecords #kingsofthrash #davidellefson #jeffyoung #chrispoland #musicvideo #musicvideodirector #fredachingdesign
