You don’t have to know a lot about Denver’s Angelic Desolation to know that the quartet love to have a good time. And the fun manifests itself in the band’s brand of tech-death, even though that metallic subset is usually known for ungodly amounts of unsmiling attention to the pedantic details of tech-death. Not so with these good time gore lovers, whose newest album, Orchestrionic Abortion follows the release of Progressively Drunker Commentary Dual Re-Issue in which the band cracked open a few adult beverages, let their previous releases play and offered up a progressively drunker commentary track. With charming song titles like “Dic Tater,” “Paco’s Satanic Taco Truck,” “Brutus McMucus” and “AIDS Chimp Lab Attack,” and a sound that bleeds out all over the Cephalic Carnage/Revocation/Cattle Decapitation Venn Diagram, Angelic Desolation are here destroy, defecate and dilate. Appropriately so, today we present the premiere of the band’s latest video masterstroke of madness for a new song entitled “Shake the Baby” which takes 4:12 seconds to tie the world’s worst abortion doctor together with flying beer spit, fake blood, airborne fetus dolls and some friendly violent death metal partying. Says the band about their most recent contribution to polite society:
“Shot during Slam Dakota Deathfest 2023, ‘Shake the Baby’ is a fan favorite, so to finally have a music video portray the lyrical content was an absolute blast. We’re known for leaving stages bloody and having baby parts strewn around the pit, but when you get to pull off some live abortions it really just brings the thing to another level. Sometimes babies just get so annoying with their incessant whining, you know? And sometimes this creates misopedist thoughts, especially when you’re drinking. Did dad really shake the baby? We’re not sure. All we know is that there’s no more crying and the floor of the pit is coated with an inch of blood, so we all had a good time.”
Orchestrionic Abortion is set for release on March 31st. For more info, pre-ordering and bloody fun and games, hit up the usual suspects.
