NEWS: Carrion Vael go crazy in Kentucky?
“Resurrection of the Doomed“, “God Killer” and now “Abhorrent Obsessions” have provided a tsunami sized wave upon which Carrion Vael ride across the US, the shape shifting Melodic Death Metal act gearing up for another deep run with a music video for “Kentucky Fried Strangulation”. Unique Leader Records have been licking their lips at the prospect of the bands lyrical influences from famous serial killers and mass murders in history…
Vocalist Travis Purcell comments on the track and video: “‘Kentucky Fried Strangulation’ is about the life and crimes of John Wayne Gacy. Gacy, who was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder before his trial, was fueled towards a life of serial murder and rape, in part due to his father’s constant torture for acting too feminine as a child. This abuse and other mental impairments would lead Gacy to the murders of 33 young men from 1972-1978, disposing of their bodies in the crawl space of his suburban Chicago home. In the video, I play Pogo the clown, Gacy’s alter ego. I tried to represent a day in the life of Pogo, from his rope strangulation trick, to enjoying the delicious chicken he must have served up while managing three KFC restaurants”
