CREMATORY has premiered another video from Antiserum. The video for the song “Kommt Näher” was directed by Dirk Weiler.

One reason for this is the great recognition value of their songs, along with the band’s characteristic style and their unconditional determination to continue to grow as artists. None of their albums so far are a copy of any of their predecessors; each of them is an independent recording with unique features and fresh ideas.

If you counted Saliva out when you heard that they had parted ways with singer Josey Scott, you have been proven dead wrong - all you have to do is give a listen to the group's upcoming single, "Rise Up" (impacting radio and available for purchase via all digital stores on February 18th), and album of the same name (April 29th, via Rum Bum). And with new singer Bobby Amaru firmly in place, it appears as though there is a bright future for the new-look Saliva line-up, which also includes guitarist Wayne Swinny, bassist Dave Novotny, and drummer Paul Crosby.
