Ayrshire based band Vukovi have a new video for their latest single, ‘Behave’. With a passionate aim to promote inclusiveness for deaf fans and disabled music lovers the world over, the band have enlisted the assistance of an animated signing interpreter. Wanting to debunk the misconception that deafness prevents the appreciation of music, Janine Shilstone and Hamish Reilly who make up Vukovi decided that a lyric video using only sign language would be an apt way to help the cause.

Speaking on the video, the band said: “The whole message behind Vukovi is inclusivity. Anyone can be a part of Vukovi and we’re always thinking of ways to show that to people. Rather than 'yet another lyric video' we decided to create something that would include another demographic of people that I feel are sadly forgotten about at times. We hope you all enjoy.”

A ferocious statement of intent, new single ‘Behave’ follows the band's latest single ‘C.L.A.U.D.I.A’ - released earlier this year. Speaking on the release of new single ‘Behave’, singer Janine Shilstone said: “This definitely feels like the start of a new era for Vukovi. ‘Behave’ is about struggling to deal with too much, or indeed too little of someone, or something, depending on your perspective. It's about challenging the situations we put ourselves in, written in the form of a frank letter to one’s self.”

For the first time in three decades, Possessed have released a new album, and it is entitled Revelations Of Oblivion. The video for new song, ‘Graven’ was directed by Scott Hansen of Digital Thunderdome (Willie Nelson, Deicide, Carnifex, Prong) and stars renowned Swedish actor, Peter Stormare (Fargo, Prison Break, The Big Lebowski).

Jeff Becerra comments, "We are extremely excited to release our new music video for the song 'Graven'. This is actually our very first cinematic music video. I want to say thank you to my good friend Peter Stormare for everything and for being such an amazing inspiration. Of course, thank you to my band mates. And to Nuclear Blast."

Revelations Of Oblivion was recorded at NRG studios and Titan Studios with Jeff Becerra as executive producer and Daniel Gonzalez as co-producer for the album. Mixing and mastering was handled by Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain, Bloodbath) at Abyss Studios in Sweden. For the artwork, the band enlisted Polish artist Zbigniew Bielak (Paradise Lost, Absu, Deicide, Ghost, Gorguts) to create a piece that brought back the notion of true fear that was once associated with the idea of evil.

Jeff Becerra explains: “Working with Peter was a fantastic experience. We put a great deal of thought into who we wanted to produce our new album. Since we hadn't made an all-new material release in well over 30 years, it was essential that we found the right person. Peter's name kept coming up over and over, and after speaking with my bandmates they all really liked Peter as he is more organic, and somebody we felt would fit in well with our process.”
