NEWS: Casket Robbery take us back to 2022?
Ahead of their US tour with Gorgatron and Voraath that commences on 21st June, the first new material since 2022 album “Rituals Of Death” has appeared from Midwest Death machine Casket Robbery. Titled “The Lacryphagist” the single is once again mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Psycroptic, The Agonist) and is soaked in the bands signature style of Death Metal infused with both horror and occult themes.
Vocalist Megan Orvold-Scheider comments on the song: “I had so much fun writing for ‘The Lacryphagist’. When we decided it was finally time to sit down and begin writing for the next release, we came up with a really awesome concept and this is a really cool piece of the puzzle. Initially, I got inspired by the stories of Victorian tear vials and I loved the idea of this creature that feeds off of human tears and collects them in various states of emotion. We were able to put in some really grotesque imagery into both the lyrics and the video we shot. I think this single shows our natural next progression as a band and our writing; lyrically getting darker while staying true to our tongue-in-cheek horror vibes that we have so much fun with. We cannot wait to hear what you all think of ‘The Lacryphagist.’”
