Returning with their classic sound led by guitarist and founding member Steve Kachinsky Blakmoor and veteran singer Rick Mythiasin, STEEL PROPHET has released the first video clip from their forthcoming new album, Omniscient, which comes out on Cruz Del Sur Music on July 4th in Europe and July 11th in the US. Omniscient comes ten years after their last studio release.
“666 Is Everywhere (The Heavy Metal Blues)” is the 6th song of the album. Although STEEL PROPHET is not well known for always being humorous, the whimsy of the lyrics is reflected in the video clip shot by AGENT STEEL/REDEMPTION guitarist Bernie Versailles. About the song Kachinsky says “STEEL PROPHET knows metal fans have a fascination with the numbers ‘666’. And when you’re in a metal band trying to make a living, sometimes it seems like ‘666 is everywhere’!”
Omniscient is composed of 12 songs based on an original story written by Kachinsky. The idea of telling a story throughout a whole album is similar to STEEL PROPHET’s 1999 classic Dark Hallucinations which featured the Fahrenheit 451 story by Ray Bradbury. The famous German Artist Timo Würz was hired to create the amazing cover artwork, and 12 original booklet illustrations to go with the lyrics and story itself. The album also contains a thirteenth song, a cover of QUEEN’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which was successfully presented by the band at the 2013 edition of the Keep It True festival in Germany; a video clip of the event will see the light shortly before the release of Omniscient.
Omniscient will be released in limited edition 32-page digibook, regular CD, limited gate-fold double LP and digital download.
