Italian post-black metal band Deadly Carnage are to release their Endless Blue full-length this Fall through ATMF sub-label, A Sad Sadness Song. In advance of the album’s release, the band are sharing their new single and music video, “Moans, Grief, and Wails,” off of the album.
Watch the video here:
The band share their thoughts:
“Umibozu (literally: monk of the sea) is a spirit whose apparition is a terrible sight: a titanic black-cloaked figure that stands among the waves of the stormy sea, Umibozu is a vengeful spirit that capsizes the ships it encounters in its path killing everyone on board. ‘Moans, Grief, and Wails’ draws inspiration from this legend, it is a song which, through its heavy and cadenced gait, tells of desperation and blind anger, the loss of hope among the waves of the sea. The animation of the video is inspired by the aesthetics of the Kabuki Theater.”
According to the press release:
A concept album based on Japanese folklore, Endless Blue is inspired by the legend of Urashima Tarō and is a journey into this abysmal world. A story of descent and ascent, Deadly Carnage aims to create a crepuscular sound made of lights and shadows, between the marine surface and the abyss, where each song represents a chapter of a single story and the voice is free to tell.
Endless Blue will be released digitally on September 15, on A5 digibook on September 29, and on LP on December 15. Find US preorders here. For preorders in Europe/ROW, click here.
