Vltimas declare unholy domination on new video for “Mephisto Manifesto”

The band’s leaders have long lorded over the demons of underground metal, but Vltimas rose to truly epic extremes on their new album. “…lives up to their reputation as extreme metal’s leading lights“, wrote Metal Hammer, who named “EPIC” one of the best albums of 2024.

This year, Vltimas are adding another devilish tale to their legend when they tour North America for the very first time. As the band plot to scorch faithful followers from coast to coast with fellow demigods Septicflesh and Ex Deo, today, they’re issuing another grand declaration with a punishing new video for their latest manifesto.

Watch the music video for “Mephisto Manifesto” on the Season of Mist YouTube channel:

After three decades on the throne, even the most Satanic rulers are guilty of sitting back and admiring their dirty work. But Vltimas are still doing the devil’s work. “Mephisto Manifesto” declares their unholy dominion over extreme metal. “I’m righting all their wrongs“, Evil D growls with righteous disdain at his lesser demons. His captors may put a stop to his grand plan in the song’s devious video, but the closing solo from Rune Eriksen seals the band’s oath to extreme excellence in blood.

“We are teaming up with our metal brothers SepticFlesh and Ex Deo for VLTIMAS’ first-ever North American Tour next month. We look we look forward to sharing our strength and misery with our friends and fans. This indeed will be EPIC! David Vincent
