Internal Bleeding Posts "The Pageantry Of Savagery" Lyric Video

As "Imperium," the first new album in more than a decade from institutional New York City-based death metal outfit Internal Bleeding is being prepared to see its official unveiling September 30th, a lyric video from the release is now viewable online.

Check out "The Pageantry of Savagery" below, thanks to Skulls N Bones. The third of nine horrendously destructive hymns harnessed by Internal Bleeding under direction of Joe Cincotta at Full Force Studio in NYC (Suffocation, Dehumanized, Mortal Decay), "The Pageantry Of Savagery" is an aptly destructive example of what the front-runners of the "slam movement" have conceived and delivered: an inexorable and enraged album that yields no mercy.

Reports Internal Bleeding vocalist Keith Devito on the song's basis, "'The Pageantry Of Savagery' is about a child who grows up with little or no parental nurturing and what results from this lack of human contact. His only sources of love and perception of reality are completely artificial: television, computer games, the perceived social pressures of school, etc.

"That's where the title comes from, because what he sees is a parade (or pageantry) of savagery. Consequently, he is alone and isolated from humanity. The thoughts that stream through his head as he develops into adulthood are violent, anti-social and downright ominous. He eventually turns these thoughts into action and embarks on a violent quest for his fifteen minutes of fame. Most of the lyrics in the song reflect both his thoughts and his actions. In short, 'Pageantry Of Savagery' is about the mental development of a sociopath."
