Perpetuate's first music video will premiere on Friday, May 4th.

The Ontario metal group's video for "Above and Beyond" will launch at 12pm EST online here.

The video was directed by Spectre Sound owner and celebrated metal producer Glenn Fricker. It features a bombastic light show from Marz Media and dizzying slow motion effects.

Fricker's other video credits include "Primal Citizen" by Central Slang, "I Once Was" by Assassinate the Following and "Kill or Be Killed" by Aquila.

"Above and Beyond" is the fearless first track from Perpetuate's self-titled debut CD. The mini-album is distributed by CDN Records and now available from Century Media Distro, iTunes, and other digital retailers everywhere.

Perpetuate is a five-piece heavy metal act featuring wild lead guitar and the soaring soprano vocals of keyboardist Kim McInnis.

Perpetuate is a heavy metal band hailing from Windsor, Ontario. Guitarists Jamie Hush and Chris Rafinski join forces with drummer Mike Wiznuk and Calvin Love on bass to deliver hard-hitting, high-energy tunes reminiscent metal’s golden age. The band is fronted by keyboardist Kim McInnis, whose voice weaves beauty and aggression into soaring soprano melodies over a roaring symphony of guitars. With classical inspiration and strong influences in modern metal and progressive music, Perpetuate is seeking the perfect balance of technicality and clarity in song-writing.

Perpetuate has been fortunate to share the stage with some of Ontario’s favourite metal and hard rock acts, including Baptized in Blood, Hail the Villain, and the legendary Anvil.

In November 2010, Perpetuate entered the studio to record their debut CD with Glenn Fricker at Spectre Sound. The album features five original tracks and a guest appearance by Betrayer’s Jeff Klingbeil, who lends his voice to an unforgettable cover of “The Trooper” by Iron Maiden. The self-titled CD was released in April 2011 and is now available from CDN Records and digital music retailers everywhere.

Eager to bring their music to new fans, Perpetuate is looking forward to traveling across Ontario in promotion of the album. With ambitions of touring nationally and overseas, Perpetuate has a mind to win over audiences everywhere and take their place among the greats of Canadian metal.
