Carrion Vael’s Video for “Savage Messiah” Will Have You Drinking the Kool-Aid
They may have released their latest album Cannibals Anonymous a couple weeks ago, but melodic deathcore outfit Carrion Vael isn’t ready to let it fade off into obscurity. Sure, you can vote for it in our monthly album poll, but you can also support the dudes in the band by checking out the newly released music video for the track “Savage Messiah.”
Speaking of the song and its inspiration, the band said it all came about from the story of a cult from the late 1970s.
“Self-proclaimed prophet and leader of the totalitarian doomsday cult The Ant Hill Kids, Roch Thériault could only be described as savage’. Thériault’s punishments were violent and extreme, often castrating male members of his cult, forcing members to break their own limbs with a sledgehammer, and even performing unnecessary amateur surgery without anesthesia. Finally being arrested in 1989 after drunkenly amputating a woman’s arm with a meat cleaver, Thériault’s reign of terror ended after being sentenced to life in prison. His insanity inspired this song and is our version of his story, and the story of the people he tortured.”
Cannibals Anonymous was released on March 29 via Unique Leader Records, so you can get yourself a copy wherever you get your music these days. If you’re more of a streamer, you can also find the album on today’s popular music streaming platforms.
