Technical death metal legends Cryptopsy have debuted a short film as a companion to their recently released studio effort An Insatiable Violence (Season of Mist) following a campaign cryptic video clips. Frontman Matt McGachy spoke of it, saying:
“When we were thinking of a unique way to promote An Insatiable Violence, Flo came up with a killer concept of sharing one part from each song before the album came out. We ended up expanding on that idea by using those pieces to create a short film.
The concept of the film for An Insatiable Violence is about a person that desperately wants to be a popular social media influencer. The scenes dance through the protagonist’s day-to-day relationship with content creation and how their audience reacts to it. It’s an insatiable violence and a truly saddening reality of humanity’s relationship with social media.”
Cryptopsy partnered with Rue Morgue on the clip. An Insatiable Violence is out now on Season of Mist and can be purchased/streamed here.
