Melbourne-based blackened deathcore group Mélancolia share the video for HissThroughRottenTeeth, the title track from their debut album of the same name released April 21 via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast Records.
HissThroughRottenTeeth immerses listeners in a torturous tale of birth, life and death, chronicling a fallen deity cast down from a godly realm and met with the punishment of reincarnating as a human with a wealth of knowledge yet stripped entirely of power. Track seven of eight, HissThroughRottenTeeth, guides the album through to its crescendo, and the end of the first mortal cycle.
“The song has always made us feel low, dreary and woeful – not quite awake and not quite dreaming, stuck in a horrible limbo somewhere between,” tells vocalist Alex Hill.
“The video represents that visually with low lighting and moody red hotel scenery, like a comedown from the worst night of your life. The title track is the breaking point for the albums main character and the realisation there is nowhere to go but low.”
