We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of DC metal outfit Gloom’s new music video for their song “Perseus” (watch it below) featuring live footage shot at The Fillmore by Iron Elephant Studios. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album Solaris, which is scheduled to be released on June 2nd through eOne Music.

“Perseus” is the third song released off the band’s forthcoming LP. The band previously released tracks “Cede” and “Sub Umbral,” both of which can be heard below.

The band signed a worldwide deal with Entertainment One Music / Lifeblood Inc. back in March. “We couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Lifeblood and eOne family,” said the band. “We’ve been hunkered down working so hard that I don’t think the reality has set in for all of us. We’re just really grateful to have such high a quality team backing us.”

“Solaris is our first full length and while we were writing the album we really wanted to bring all our individual influences to the table and create something dynamic. We really want to carve out our own niche in metal and Solaris is a big step in that direction. For us, ‘Cede’ is a good musical representation of some of the different styles you’ll hear on the album. Lyrically, it’s about breaking the cycle of a bad on-off relationship I had for years and finding a place where I could grow out of those feelings.”
