November 9th marked the release of the long-awaited full-length album from the Bay Area sci-fi power metal band Dire Peril, entitled The Extraterrestrial Compendium, the first LP from the band, which is a concept album where each song is about a science fiction movie. Today we bring you the exclusive premiere of their new music video for the song “Always Right Here”!
Guitarist Jason Ashcraft had this to say about it:
“We are pleased to release our video for one of the slower tracks of the album. This video, though not as intense as “Blood in the Ice”, was a lot of fun to do. We wanted to keep this one simple and give a more in the studio feel. We captured that really well I think.”
Here’s all the gear the band used to record the song:
Vocals:
- AKGP220 Microphone
