METSATÖLL: 'Only Bravery' Video Released

January 15, 2010

"Only Bravery", the new video from Estonian metallers METSATÖLL, can be viewed below. The clip makes use of the animated short film "Suur Tõll", based on an Estonian heroic folk tale, created by Tallinnfilm in 1980, with artwork by Jüri Arrak, written and directed by Rein Raamat.

"We had the idea for this video already in 2004, when for the first time we asked the legendary Estonian artist Jüri Arrak for a cover image for our album," explains METSATÖLL guitarist/vocalist Markus Teeäär. Drummer Marko Atso adds, "The animated film 'Suur Tõll' had an impact on all of us already in our early childhood. But until now, we simply did not have a proper song to go with this wonderful animation."

"Only Bravery" comes off the band's fourth album, "Äio", which is scheduled for release on March 3 in Estonia and Finland via Spinefarm Records.

Starting today, the limited digipak version of "Äio" is available for pre-order. Only 2,000 copies will be released. The three-fold digipack contains an hour-long CD with 14 brand new tracks, a 16-page booklet of lyrics, a poster and a postcard signed by the band.

The album can be pre-ordered from the band's homepage.

In other news, METSATÖLL has announced that going forward, the band's shows outside Estonia and Finland will be arranged by the German agency ICS Festival Service GMBH. "We are in good company, as ICS also manages such bands as SAXON, TROUBLE, DORO, GIRLSCHOOL, OVERKILL, SACRED REICH, MAROON and many others," says Marko Atso. "We will be giving our best, to be worthy of this agency."
