Dope D.O.D. x Virus Syndicate “Battle Royal” Music Video Premiere

Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with both Dope D.O.D. and Virus Syndicate to bring you the exclusive US premiere of their video for “Battle Royal”! The two groups have come together to release a 4-track EP titled Battle Royal, which will be coming out May 4th.

Virus Syndicate explains:

After ‘The Swarm’ we needed a fresh challenge. We always team up with producers but we rarely find rappers who are in our lane. We wanted a clash, but there wasn’t an obvious choice. We found out about these crazy guys who were putting out the sickest shit we’d heard in years and when we listened to them we knew they would be worthy adversaries.

Dope D.O.D. adds:

We hadn’t heard of Virus Syndicate before… We were familiar with the UK rap scene, mainly the grime sound, but Manchester was pretty new to us as far as the artists that represent it. Once we heard their tracks we were immediately drawn to their flow and we knew this would make for a great clash of styles, their UK sound clashing with our dark boom bap.

Directed by KC Locke, the video shows the two groups battling head-to-head in a cage with a throng of onlookers.

You can pre-order the EP via iTunes.

We wanted to do something that was really gritty and represented the concept behind the EP. Both crews have a really hard and brutal style and the “Battle Royal” video really brings that home. The video was inspired by a few movies. It’s kind of like Fight club meets Book of Eli. Our Director KC Locke had a lot of creative vision with the concept and really brought it to life. Hope you guys like it.

Mind Body Spirit will release on Digital outlets May 7.

Get twisted with the official trailer and poster art below.

Matt Donato raved in his 4-star review, “Mind Body Spirit is a knockout horror session for the livestream era, which has me desperately waiting to see what its creators and stars do next.”

In Mind Body Spirit, “Anya, an aspiring yoga influencer, embarks on a ritual practice left behind by her estranged grandmother. She documents the practice on her YouTube channel for the world to watch, allowing her audience intimate access to her journey.

“But what starts as a spiritual self-help guide evolves into something much more sinister. As Anya becomes obsessed with the mysterious power of the practice, she unwittingly unleashes an otherworldly entity that begins to take control of her life – and her videos. Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”

Mind Body Spirit was written and directed by Alex Henes & Matthew Merenda.

The upcoming horror film stars Sarah J. Bartholomew, Madi Bready, KJ Flahive, Anna Knigge, and Kristi Noory, and was produced by Dan Asma and Jesse McClung.
