Canadian extreme metal act Wake have just premiered their brand-new music video for the track “Kana Tevoro (Kania! Kania).” This song is taken off their most recent full-length Devouring Ruin, released March 27 via Translation Loss Records.
Wake frontman Kyle Ball comments:
In Fiji, the experience of sleep paralysis is called Kana Tevoro. When somebody would be experiencing a sleep paralysis episode, they would consider this person possessed by a sleep demon who was eating them, and a family member would sit next to the bed and repeat Kania, which means ‘eat,’ to encourage the demon to eat longer and stick around long enough for the family to talk to it and find out why the demon is possessing this person. I’ve been dealing with sleep paralysis since I was a kid, so the folklore surrounding it was really interesting to me.
