Pro-shot footage of Watain’s recent live show in Montreuil-sur-Mer, France aavailable

Pungent Swedish black metal outfit Watain released their seventh studio album “The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain” today, April 29th. Alongside it comes the below premiere of a live video for the opening track “Ecstasies In Night Infinite“.

We have lived with this album among ourselves trembling like an infant upon the altar for a long time now, and today we shall finally set it free. It carries within it the madness and the mystery of all our accumulated experience, both savage and sublime. Our heartfelt veneration unto all that we deem sacred and true. A humble offering to the fires of the Devilgod that ever continue to rejuvenate us, to strengthen us, and to illuminate our path ahead. To all of you who are ready to embrace it; may it take you far.E. Danielsson, bassist of Watain

This particular live performance of the track was filmed at Chaudronneries de Montreuil in Montreuil-sur-Mer, France this past Tuesday, April 26th. That set was part of a warm-up show for this year’s ‘Hellfest Open Air‘ concert and can be watched in full below as well.

In addition to the live debut of the track mentioned above, it also saw the first public airings of the songs “The Howling” and “Serimosa“. This year’s ‘Hellfest‘ will be held June 17th-26th in Clisson, France.
