British death dealers Venom Prison have debuted the official video for their track “Corrode The Black Sun”. Directed by Daviel Waverley Gray, you can see the clip below courtesy of Metal Hammer UK. Frontwoman Larissa Stupar comments:
“The idea behind the (video) is about tearing away and shedding skin to become a new and better person. I was always fascinated with the fact that the Nazis were able to kill over six million people with the use of stationary facilities built exclusively for the purpose of mass extermination, while a whole nation categorically denied knowledge of the atrocities that were committed.
Growing up in Germany, I have learned that people have trouble recognising that every cog and social issue had a part to play to some extent. It is a difficult reconciliation with the concept of collective guilt, but closing our eyes to the hands of psychopaths committing horrific mass crimes makes all of us responsible. The ideals of fascism have been part of human history throughout. You see the same kind of lunatics marching with torches through German streets, the KKK is still performing their idiotic rituals yet the world still chooses to close its eyes while hate crimes are being committed.”
“Corrode The Black Sun” is taken from the group’s debut record Animus, out now on Prosthetic Records. Additionally, Venom Prison have announced that they’ve been added to this year’s Download Festival following a European run with Darkest Hour. The dates can be found beneath the video stream.
