Funny, they don't look black metal. There's not a nailed armband or heavy-duty shinguard to be seen, none of the members are wearing corpse paint and the singer's got short friggin' hair! Still, with all their image flaws, Abigail Williams delivered one of the finest black metal albums of 2008, In The Shadow of a Thousand Suns, and their first video for the disc, "Into the Ashes," is pretty cool as well. Click "more" to watch the vid and see its on-air debut on this week's Headbangers Ball, which airs on Saturday from 2 to 3 a.m.
Now, here's commentary on the "Into the Ashes" video from Abigail Williams frontman Ken Sorceron:
We filmed the video underneath London Bridge in this dungeon-like area that they used to store dead bodies in. We felt right at home, minus the smell, of course. We actually had just returned to the UK, having completed some European dates. We had been going on eight straight weeks of touring at that point, so we were all pretty tired, but we got through it and had a good time.
