Exorcise Your Demons with CHRYSALIS: Catch the Dual Premiere of “My Forsaken” Video with REVOLVER and METAL HAMMER
New Album ‘Focus On The Center’ – OUT NOW
On Tour Now with LOSE CONTROL
Today, SoCal experimental metal group CHRYSALIS are unleashing their brand new music video for the track ‘My Forsaken’, cut from their new album Focus On The Center. The music video is being simultaneously premiered via Revolver Magazine and Metal Hammer Magazine today. Take a look at the video here via Revolver, but make sure to have your holy bibles and crosses handy – the music video features the performance of a true-to-life exorcism.
The ‘My Forsaken’ video was directed by Alexander The Titan, but was birthed from the mind of CHRYSALIS’ Yessi Burton himself. “‘My Forsaken’ is an exorcism of my demons, but the priest tries to rid me of the good parts of my soul too. A lot of running ensues.”
In the past month, CHRYSALIS have released two brand new tour blogs chronicling their current U.S. tour with Lose Control, which kicked off on July 5th in San Diego. The band is currently traveling through the great state of Texas, but made sure to update their fans before they hit the east coast. Check out their first two updates here, showing live footage, general tour antics, and more: (http://youtu.be/M07wZ543W7U) / (http://youtu.be/d3uza0_C2Yo).

“Indie’s Metal Monarchs; in less than thirty minutes of music, Chrysalis manages to push the boundaries of genre even more, with the song order arranged to be a perfect journey.” -MXDWN http://bit.ly/1jyeKPg
“A soundscape of brutal imagery and butchering guitar lines caressed by beautiful vocals and pounding rhythms that leave you breathless but diving in for more.” -Pittsburgh Music Magazine http://bit.ly/1co3ZxD
“This is not an album for kids who listen to metal. This is for the adults… Extremely complex, smart, and has twists and turns in every song.” -MusicUG http://bit.ly/LNy2UJ
“The production quality is flawless as the whole thing just sounds huge. There’s something here for everyone; some chugging heavy metal guitars and drums, some prog noodling and some electronic samples that sound rather fantastic.” -Metal Newz http://bit.ly/1dCyhsz
