WINDS OF PLAGUE has teamed up with Bloody-Disgusting.com for the premiere of their new music video for "Refined In The Fire". Directed by Jeremy Schott of MentalSuplex, the video keeps in the Halloween vein with blood covered band members and zombies. "Being a big fan of both horror films and Halloween we wanted to do a video to tie into both." Says vocalist Johnny Plague.
"We created a video set in a post apocalyptic era... Not too long into the video you realize the cause of the end of society as we know it, ZOMBIES! I play the role of zombie slaying bad mother fucker roaming the dessert looking for salvation.
Instead i find a shack infested with all sorts of evil. To capture this horror based music video i recruited my people at Knotts Scary farm. Designer Brooke Walters as well as a legion of monsters. Happy Halloween followers of Plague, stay bloody!"
