On September 15th 2017 Germany’s CRIPPER will release their new album Follow Me: Kill! worldwide via Metal Blade Records! The band has now launched the 2nd single taken from that album, which is entitled “Into The Fire”! The full production video for “Into The Fire” can be viewed HERE.
Cripper comments: “The video for ‘Into The Fire’ is our 8th music video. So what do you do as a band to not bore yourself with repetition? Right, you crank it up to 11 and take it to the next level! ‘Into The Fire’ is not only the track that inspired us for our upcoming album’s title ‘Follow Me: Kill!’, it is also one of the album’s bosses so to speak. Music, lyrics, story and performance mark another milestone in Cripper’s history. Many thanks at this point to our friends who once more helped us bringing our madness to life with this self-made video production by delivering brilliant performances and lending us their muscles and brains to make things work. We owe you!”

Follow Me: Kill! is Cripper’s fifth album, and it adds fresh, exciting elements into their music. Still, the band never forgets where they come from and stay true to themselves within the frames of musical progression. The result is an effort that maintains the heaviness and groove the band is known for, while also containing atmospheric parts, capably realized and granting diversity.
