Vitriol have premiered a new video for their new song “The Flowers Of Sadism.” This track is from the band’s new album “Suffer & Become,” which will be released on January 26.
Kyle Rasmussen said the following about the song:
“‘Flowers‘ explores the topic of early developmental trauma and the resulting emotional alchemy that can lead to the development of sadistic impulses. While not being an ideal strategy in the presence of healthier alternatives, embracing my more vicious instincts was the key to my psychological and emotional survival at a time when my environment was both hostile and inescapable. It marks the beginning of a complicated journey of seduction by the necessary evils adopted in the pursuit of that survival.”
He also added the following about the album:
“I wanted to have an album that had a stark duality to it. Very high highs and very low lows. We’re very familiar with the lows but not so much with the triumphant highs. I wanted the album to have more of a sense of optimism to it, both lyrically and musically. I wanted the album to convey a sense of optimism that probably gets lost in the black maelstrom that is the first album.”
