This Friday (September 15th), Germany’s Cripper will release their new album, Follow Me: Kill!, worldwide via Metal Blade Records! The band has now launched the 3rd and final single taken from that album: « Mother« ! « Mother » is being premiered as a full production video, so make sure to check it out at :
Cripper comments: « Choosing the 3rd single from ‘Follow Me: Kill!’ was very easy for us. ‘Mother’ marks one of the album’s backbones but can also stand on its own. The song speaks its own distinct, gloomy and heavy language, which we transported into the video. The result is a dark and very personal piece that visually translates ‘Mother‘. Within the context of the previous singles, ‘Pressure‘ and ‘Into The Fire‘, this one gives you a hint at the full spectrum of ‘Follow Me; Kill!‘. »
For another preview of Follow Me: Kill!, the previous single « Pressure » can be heard at: http://metalblade.com/cripper

Follow Me: Kill! is Cripper’s fifth album, and it adds fresh, exciting elements into their music. Still, the band never forgets where they come from and stay true to themselves within the frames of musical progression. The result is an effort that maintains the heaviness and groove the band is known for, while also containing atmospheric parts, capably realized and granting diversity.
