December 17th marked the 5th anniversary since the first incarnation of DEADSCAPE was born. Throughout the years the band have worked with many people and some of them agreed to participate in the video, making it a collaboration between current line-up and ex-members (now part of other acts in the Bulgarian metal underground). "Forsaken" was the logical choice, since it was the first song ever composed for the band. It was also the opening song to our demo EP, released on August 17th.
The video was done by Desolate Art Studio:

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
Deadscape is a five-piece melodic death metal band, based in Sofia, Bulgaria. It was officially born in late 2015 as a solo project by the name of Aesthetica Morti, when the founder, the guitarist Ivan Bratoev, decided that his latest material won’t fit in his then-current band’s repertoire.
In 2016 he presented it to the bassist/clean vocalist Alexander Trifonov; they started exchanging experience and working on what was already written and on new ideas as well, taking inspiration mainly from the Scandinavian melodic death metal scene and bands such as Insomnium, In Flames, Before The Dawn, Dark Tranquillity.
In 2017, a full-time drummer appeared – Ivan Kolev, who brought in an oldschool approach and a significant improvement to the composing of the drum parts. In 2018 the band was officially renamed to Deadscape and it was in the same year, when harsh vocalist Mirela Kaneva and the guitarist Lyudmil Stoyanov joined, forming a stable line-up.
The band then started to perform actively on the local stage, sharing it with a number of fellow Bulgarian metal acts. Meanwhile, Ani Dimitrova replaced Lyudmil on guitar and Deadscape proceeded to finalizing the writing and the recording of the demo tracks for their debut album.
In June 2020 a video for the song "Ending" was released as part of the World Make Music Day initiative. On August 17th 4 of the demo tracks were released as a fully self-produced demo EP, which received quite positive feedback from local and international media.
In December, to celebrate their 5th anniversary, Deadscape released a video for the song “Forsaken” - a collaboration between the current line-up and ex-members of the band.
In January 2021 Deadscape will enter the studio to record their debut full-length album.
