Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of “Facing Tomorrow”, the new video from Norwegian metallers COMMUNIC, can be seen below. The full clip will make its online debut on May 8.
“Facing Tomorrow” comes off COMMUNIC’s latest album, “The Bottom Deep”, which was released last July via Nuclear Blast Records. According to a press release, the band’s music “includes many elements from various metal genres. Their grasp for variety of power, melody, and intelligent lyrics with a highly progressive musical approach made COMMUNIC one of the best newcomers for years!”

Commented guitarist/mainman Oddleif Stensland: “Writing and recording this album has been an amazing — but strange experience. This time we took control over the production ourselves, resulting in a more honest- and organic-sounding album. Never before have I put so much of my own personal influence and privacy into the lyrics and songs as this time.”
Dan Swanö, who mastered the album, said: “It was pure pleasure to work with these guys. The mix was excellent to start with, so I finally had the opportunity to work with gentle strokes rather than the big roller that I sometimes have to use to shape up not-so-good mixes. Musically, I enjoyed it very much. It’s not easy to label their music (which is good). If I had to mention something, I get that amazing ‘epic’ vibe of QUEENSRŸCHE ’84-’88. They definitely add something to the family of progressive metal”
The CD’s artwork was created by Eliran Kantor, who had the following to say about the effort: “The first draft of the lyrics from Oddleif made it clear that this is going to be a very personal, dark and vulnerable record — and I wanted the cover to reflect that. The vulture, nature’s version of the grim reaper, caresses the dying man, casting a shadow reveling its true intentions and reason for this last visit. I put a lot of myself into this artwork, and I think it turned out great”
