MAPLE METAL RECORDS are proud to release the Official Video to MASSIVE SLAVERY's breakthrough track in "Humanity's Last Hope"; taken from their debut album Global Enslavement, released last summer.

Jon 'The Prof', frontman for MASSIVE SLAVERY recounts the day of the shoot: "It was just an insane experience, even if I nearly killed myself on the first scene, hahaha. ( I fell from a rock cliff on a pile of big rocks right on my back and arm). I still have bruises from it, but when I see this video produced by Chad it was definitely worth it!"

BIO
Global Enslavement is a Revolutionary Album in Modern Death Metal. It is a concept death metal album that explores some of the darkest parts of modern history that caused the epic failures of our society today. 'Global Enslavement' was released July 26th via Maple Metal Records, Toronto/Canada; the label launched by John Belrose, producer of Exciter's "Heavy Metal Maniac".
MASSIVE SLAVERY hail from the towns of Val d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda, the gold-mining district in Northern Quebec. The province of Quebec, Canada has traditionally been a hot bed for great metal talent and now MASSIVE SLAVERY can be added to that illustrious list.
Born from a concept conceived by bassist Marc-André Barrette (ex-Paroxysm) and guitarist Joël St-Amant (ex-Descend into Nothingness), Massive Slavery was officially created in the winter of 2009.
Having previously worked with Joel in "Descend into Nothingness", drummer Pierre-Alexandre Mercier (ex-Decrepity) did not hesitate to join the crew. Even if the band were still looking for a front man, they began to write and work on fresh material.
After a couple of months of hunting around, their search was finally rewarded when vocalist Jon 'The ProF' St-Pierre landed the role, to round out this new quartet. His addition to the band gave new dynamics, and a boost of energy to push the band into finalizing the writing of their first album.
The collaboration of this musical assault Global Enslavement combines a mix of melodic, brutal and technical death metal.
The album was produced and recorded by Yannick St-Amand (Despised Icon, Beneath the Massacre, Neuraxis) in January, at Northern Studio in Northern Quebec. It was mixed and mastered by Pierre Rémillard (Anvil, Kataklysm, Misery Index, Malevolent Creation) in February, at Wild Studio north of Montreal.

Jon 'the ProF' St-Pierre - vocals
