As Imperium, the first new album in more than a decade from institutional New York City-based death metal outfit, INTERNAL BLEEDING, is being prepared to see its official unveiling late this month, a lyric video from the release is now viewable via Skulls ‘N’ Bones.
The third of nine horrendously destructive hymns harnessed by INTERNAL BLEEDING under direction of Joe Cincotta at Full Force Studio in NYC (Suffocation, Dehumanized, Mortal Decay) and set to see release as Imperium, “The Pageantry Of Savagery” is an aptly destructive example of what the front-runners of the “slam movement” have conceived and delivered; an inexorable, enraged and yet focused album that yields no mercy. Reports IB vocalist Keith Devito on the song’s basis, “‘The Pageantry Of Savagery’ is about a child who grows up with little or no parental nurturing and what results from this lack of human contact. His only sources of love and perception of reality are completely artificial: television, computer games, the perceived social pressures of school, etc. That’s where the title comes from, because what he sees is a parade (or pageantry) of savagery. Consequently, he is alone and isolated from humanity. The thoughts that stream through his head as he develops into adulthood are violent, anti-social and downright ominous. He eventually turns these thoughts into action and embarks on a violent quest for his fifteen minutes of fame. Most of the lyrics in the song reflect both his thoughts and his actions. In short, ‘Pageantry Of Savagery’ is about the mental development of a sociopath.”
Metal web community, Skulls ‘N’ Bones, is now hosting a brand new lyric video for “Pageantry Of Savagery,’ ahead of Imperium‘s September 30th release date at THIS LOCATION.
Coinciding with the release of Imperium, the band will level stages across North America as part of this year’s crushing Carnival Of Death tour. Set to commence on October 3rd, 2014 in New York City, the tour will leave nearly two-dozen cities in ruin, coming to a close on November 3rd, 2014, in Montreal, with Suffocation, Kataklysm, Jungle Rot and Pyrexia on the bill in addition to INTERNAL BLEEDING.
Preorders for Imperium including digital, CD, LP and merch packages are currently available HERE.
