SPIRITUAL BEGGARS Premiere Music Video For "Wise As A Serpent"

Sweden's classic Rock heavyweights SPIRITUAL BEGGARS are now premiering the video clip for "Wise As A Serpent," the opening track of the band's stunning NEW album 'Earth
Blues'. The band's guitarist and main songwriter, Michael Amott, checked in to comment on the clip:  

"We chose this particular song as the first video off 'Earth Blues' 'cos it's an explosive track and also the shortest song on the album! I filmed and directed the video myself and Anders Björler (AT THE GATES) did a great job on the edit. We're more than pleased with the end result, it's done in true DIY spirit...raw and authentic."

SPIRITUAL BEGGARS Locked In The Studio Working On NEW Album; Band To Appear At Roadburn 2013 Afterburner!

Sweden's classic Rock heavyweights SPIRITUAL BEGGARS are currently at work on a NEW studio album and are targeting a Spring 2013 release via InsideOut Music. The album, their eighth studio offering, will be the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2010 release 'Return To Zero'. Additionally, the band is proud to announce that they will be appearing at the 2013 Roadburn Festival Afterburner, on April 21 in Tillburg, Holland.  

"Back in the early '90s, Roadburn founder Walter Hoeijmakers was one of the very first supporters SPIRITUAL BEGGARS had in Europe," says bandleader Michael Amott. "His unbridled enthusiasm for our music back then when most people didn't 'get it' meant so much to us. It's a great feeling to now play his fantastic festival and celebrate the staying power of SPIRITUAL BEGGARS and the Roadburn concept together! We're releasing a NEW studio album and celebrating our 20th anniversary as a band in 2013, and I really can't think of a better way to start the party than at the esteemed Roadburn Festival!"  

Since their formation in the early '90s, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS have been at the forefront of the burgeoning stoner Rock scene, raising the benchmark for stoner Metal bands around the globe through a succession of much acclaimed albums that redefined the genre. Records like 'Another Way To Shine', 'Mantra III', 'Ad Astra', 'On Fire' and 'Return To Zero' deliver a masterful homage to the Rock sensibilities of DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, URIAH HEEP and TROUBLE, and also the blistering guitar heroics of Frank Marino and MOUNTAIN's Leslie West.
