Monastery Dead Premiere Crushing New Video for “Raptophilia” — August 29th, 2025

For fans of Bloodbath, Misery Index, Jungle Rot

Saint Petersburg, Russia — August 2025 — Russian death metal band Monastery Dead will unleash their brand-new music video for “Raptophilia” on August 29th, 2025 via Satanath Records. The track is taken from the band’s 2024 full-length Ego Sum Dolor and delivers their trademark fusion of traditional death metal brutality and modern technical precision, sure to strike a chord with fans of Bloodbath, Misery Index, and Jungle Rot.

Formed in 2004 by bassist Vadim Nikolaev, Monastery Dead have carved a formidable reputation in the global extreme metal scene, releasing four full-length albums, multiple singles, and official videos while touring across Russia and beyond. They’ve shared the stage with legends such as Haemorrhage, Dying Fetus, Debauchery, Benighted, Unleashed, and Impaled Nazarene, consistently proving their crushing live power.

The “Raptophilia” video, directed by Alexander Korsak of Black Line Films, matches the track’s relentless ferocity with striking visuals that dive into themes of human suffering, existential torment, and self-destruction.

The song was recorded at BuzzyLick Studio with Ivan Dmitriev and mixed and mastered by Dmitry Kim.

With this latest visual assault, Monastery Dead once again reaffirm why they remain one of the most dominant forces in Russian death metal.
