Ophiolatry Premiere New Music Video For "Abyss of Alienation"

As defined by Merriam-Webster, "ophiolatry" refers to "the worship of or the attribution of divine or sacred qualities to snakes." The song "Abyss of Alienation" by Brazil's Ophiolatry, with its hypnotic riffs, intense vocals, and powerful rhythms, envelops you in the serpentine world of death metal. It evokes the styles of bands like Hate Eternal, Nile, and Morbid Angel from the Steve Tucker era. This track is a re-recorded version of a song originally featured on the band's 2008 album, "Transmutation."

Explain the band:

“Many years ago in the Amazon, there lived a tribe of very warlike indigenous people who practiced Ophiolatry. When the invaders arrived, they brutally tortured and murdered their families, forcing many to witness these horrific acts while bound in front of them. The remaining warriors fought with their utmost inner spirit, not relenting until they spilled their last drops of blood. They died in battle with honor. The indoctrination of Christian religions has led to alienation and subservience. Today, the tide is turning. The serpent spirits of those warriors are reincarnated in a multitude of new warriors who harbor behemothic volumes of anger and revenge. We are ready.

We chose to bring this song to video because we knew it would be highly impactful visually. It identifies the plight of indigenous peoples backed by a track of powerfully complex rhythm, heaviness and speed.”
