ZT’s latest cover artists Primordial have unveiled another video, this time to accompany the title-track from their new album Exile Amongst The Ruins.
“This is a simple story,” the band explains. “A soldier’s fate that has happened around the world many times and will continue to do so. It is set in Ireland about 100 years ago. Nothing more and nothing less. They are the Ghosts. We are the Ruins.”
