Rockville, Maryland based Progressive Metal/Hard Rock band Coral The MerKnight published the official music video for the track “Suture Self” from upcoming album “vs. The Beasts of Burdentown (A Post-Deathrock Opera)” due out on June 21, 2024. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Coral the Merknight previously emerged from the dark and murky depths of the unforgiving seas to give chase to and vanquish the demonic entity known as Searantula, whose nefarious wiles threatened to disrupt and wreak havoc upon our every day life. Coral‘s perilous battle with this fearsome opponent was documented extensively in his debut album: vs. Searantula (It Weaves a Web of Metal). Following his victory, the inquisitive MerKnight decided to remain in our world and experience its many wonders for himself. Overtime he began to feel immense guilt for not returning to the underwater kingdom he left behind. Unbeknownst to him, these negative emotions drew out and gave strength to a brand new threat lurking and stalking in the shadows. Will Coral continue his streak of heroic victories or has he finally met his match?? Find out on 06/21/2024 when his sophomore album: “vs. The Beasts of Burdentown (A Post-Deathrock Opera)” is released into the wild.
