Former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman is giving fans a little taste of what to expect from his forthcoming studio album, "Inferno," with the release of the music video for the title track.

The "Inferno" album is scheduled to be released in North America on May 27th. For the title track's video, Friedman co-directed the clip with David Brodsky (Devin Townsend, The Black Dahlia Murder).

Friedman explained the inspiration behind the video, "The music video for 'Inferno' is an homage/parody of one of my fave Japanese TV shows, 'Zenryokusaka' ('Full Power Hill').

"It's a weekly five-minute show where the entire premise is absolutely nothing but a girl running up a hill. Each week a different girl, and a different hill. I am hooked on this show, and think it is genius in its simplicity and ever-so-slight sexual nature.

"It took me a while to explain the charm of the show to the video director, but I think towards the end of making our video together, he got it. It's like many things that happen outside the culture you were born in; you either get it and it's fresh or you don't and it's just weird." Watch the video here.
