Mumbai’s seemingly slumbering black metal enigma Heathen Beast have today released their new music/lyric video for the title track of their upcoming EP The Carnage of Godhra. The video contains media clips about the horrific communal riots that took place in 2002 in the hitherto peaceful Gujarati city, emphasised further by brutally honest lyrics. Watch the new video and keep an eye out for more details about the EP.
India’s forerunners of black metal blasphemy Heathen Beast, have released the cover and rear artwork of their upcoming third EP, provocatively titled The Carnage of Godhra. If the title and artwork leave any stone unturned regarding the questions that this EP could be raising, the tracklisting definitely compensates for them:
Thematically, the band has returned to the communal violence of the Godhra riots of 2002, which left hundreds of innocent Muslims slaughtered mercilessly in the name of Hinduism. Musically, the band’s direction remains to be a surprise. Merchandise of the band can be ordered here.
