Apocalyptica have released “Cold Blood,” the first online track from their upcoming album Shadowmaker. The new album, their eighth, is due out April 21st, and was produced by Grammy Award winner Nick Raskulinecz who has worked with Foo Fighters, Deftones, and Mastodon.

This new video was directed by Lisa Mann and features vocalist Franky Perez, and the band told Metal Hammer they’re pretty excited about how the video turned out.

“We really think it’s our best one yet. It also happens to be one of our favourites from our new album Shadowmaker. So yes, please watch listen, share and enjoy! See you at Download!”

Before playing Download Festival at Donington Park on June 13th, Apocalyptica will do a US tour with Sixx: A.M. in April.
