“The latest video to combine intense music and gruesome surrealism is Poisoning the Steps of Babel, the new track from Dawn of Ashes. Fronted by Kristof Bathory, the extreme industrial metallers released a new album earlier this year, Anathema, to positive reviews. Regarding the title of the album, Bathory told HardRockHaven.net, “Metaphorically, I drew on its meaning as used in the old witch trials where religious leaders would burn individuals at the stake simply for not adhering to the socially compelled terms of ‘God.’ I applied this to how the Dawn of Ashes fan base, and myself, are exiled for not following modern society’s standards of ‘being human.’” Revelling in their notorious image, Dawn of Ashes have taken their shock rock concept a step further with the controversial video for Poisoning the Steps of Babel.”
