Last Rites: new EP and promotional video for the track "Jukai"!

Hey brutalbangers,
do you remember Last Rites, the death/thrash metal veterans from Savona, Italy, that I reviewed and also interviewed one year ago?
Well, good news about them! In fact, they have recently self-released a new EP called "In Death's Embrace", consisting of two tracks. The following is its cover artwork:
As it wasn't enough, Last Rites made a promotional video for "Jukai", a song taken from that EP. I must say that this number is amazing and shows the classic death/thrashing style of the band, in which the purest aggressivity is well combined with great melodies (like in the guitar solo).
Very interesting are the lyrics of this song because they are inspired by the many suicides happening, especially since the '70s, in the forest of Aokigahara in Japan, that is known also as "Jukai" ("the sea of trees" in Japanese) or "The Suicide Forest". After the San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, this forest near the Mount Fuji is in the second place in the world with the highest suicide rate, so it has a very bad fame now! Instead, the story of the video is inspired by the movie "The Forest" (2016).
Below you can watch the video:
