Cleveland goth rock band Dispel unveiled their new single "Flames of Greed" on Thursday.

The single comes with a music video directed by Rafeeq Roberts, which can be seen below.

The song stems from Dispel’s forthcoming concept album Inferno, which is based on Dante Alighieri’s poem of the same name. Drummer Scott Dispel said this about the album:

"Influenced by an equal mix of darkwave beats, Medieval literature, and conceptual rock albums, the music behind Dispel was born. But soon after the completion of our debut album ‘Lore’, the world went on lockdown! So we headed back into the studio to create another conceptual album, but we had to up the ante. A spiderweb-ridden bookshelf held the key - “Dante’s Inferno” in its timeless glory.

Putting a literary masterpiece to music was no small task, we had to do it justice through attention to detail, utilizing actual texts and adding mythological personalities, herein combining rock music and world literature."

Pre-orders for Inferno, which arrives on October 12, can be made here.
