March 9, 2010 - Hemoptysis Release Official 'Shadow of Death' Music Video -

Phoenix, AZ – March 9, 2010 – As if the sonic barrage from the juggernaut known as Hemoptysis wasnft enough to pound you into submission, enter Shadow of Death – the video! 

This marks the bandfs debut full production music video, released in time to promote their first ever SXSW Music Festival Showcase (9:30PM March 19, 2010) at Austinfs SOHO Lounge. 

Filmed and produced by the Phoenix-based Big Shot Studios, the shoot took place in an abandoned school on the Gila River Indian Reservation, Southeast of Phoenix. Co-production credits go to Desert Core Management and Hemoptysis. It also features guitarist, Chris Cannella of Autumnfs End and N17. 

Written by front man Masaki Murashita, the song deals with senseless wars in which citizens are forced to fight or die for. The video portrays these citizens as prisoners of war, subjected to the bombardment of constant media coverage. It begs to ask when will this end? 

Originally recorded and released on the Hemoptysis debut EP, gWho Needs A Shepherd?,h Shadow of Death was re-recorded/produced by Ryan Greene (Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick), mastered by George Marino (Sterling Sound), then released as a single. 

PureGrainAudio.com
have been kind enough to host the video on their website. With 30,000+ monthly visitors, they are committed to continuously offer new, exciting, and unique music content.

You may also view the Shadow of Death video on the official Hemoptysis YouTube Channel, as well as the bandfs MySpace Profile.

-Hemoptysis Release Ryan-Greene-Produced 'Shadow of Death'-

Desert Core metal band, Hemoptysis, release remixed CD single, 'Shadow of Death', produced by Ryan Greene.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  (Press Release) Aug 02, 2009 – Still riding high off the popularity of their 5 song debut EP, "Who Needs A Shepherd?", the Phoenix Music Awards 'Metal Band of the Year' have enlisted the services of legendary producer, Ryan Greene to rework the single, "Shadow of Death".  Known for his work with Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Megadeth, and many others, Ryan Greene pushed Hemoptysis to their creative limits and beyond.  The single was also mastered by George Marino (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sepultura, and more).

Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, Hemoptysis have steadily made a name for themselves, brilliantly combining old school Thrash and modern Death Metal.  Strong live performances and increased radio airplay have garnered much industry attention, leading to the band's recent signing with Desert Core Management & Consulting,

Supporting the new release with a full schedule, Hemoptysis will be guest performers at the Back From Ashes video release party on August 8, 2009.  The band will also be in support of Obituary and GoatWhore on September 4, 2009, and will of course be a part of the festivities surrounding the Los Angeles / Phoenix Music Awards on November 12, 2009 at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood.

June 18, 2009 -Name The Beast Contest!-


Hemoptysis needs a name for the beast pictured in our CD artwork and our new band symbol so we are having a contest! Send us an e-mail at contest@hemoptysismetal.com with your name and tell us what you think we should name the beast. The winner of the contest will be chosen by the band and the winner will receive a copy of our CD, "Who Needs a Shepherd?," a Hemoptysis T-shirt, Hemoptysis poster and a Hemoptysis sticker. The contest ends on August 31st. The winner will be announced on September 1st, 2009.

Information on the beast: The beast is derived from our song and album title, "Who Needs a Shepherd?" At the beginning of the song the priest talks about how Christians are weak and how they need a shepherd like Jesus to help them cope with life. He says that Christians are not the king of beasts, but are in fact the feast of the king of beasts.

The beast character was designed to be a cross between nature's king of beasts (a lion) and Satan (the spiritual king of beasts in Christian belief according to the priest at the beginning of the song). The artwork for the album shows the beast devouring Jesus with countless skulls of devoured Christians in the background.
