German death metal juggernauts RISE OF KRONOS have unleashed a dark and intense new music video for their track “Children of Leprosy“, from their recently released album, “Imperium”. Dropping just a month after the album’s release, this latest visual addition deepens the mythological and apocalyptic themes that have become the band’s signature, capturing fans in a storm of unrelenting aggression and atmosphere.
