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.
Mumbai-based black metal band Heathen Beast have released the name and cover artwork of their latest EP, the follow-up to 2010’s ‘Ayodhya Burns’. Titled as ‘The Drowning of the Elephant God’, the cover is exactly that: a photo of the annual immersion ritual of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh. The EP will be released on 23rd May 2012 and its tracklisting is as follows:
1. Drowning Of The Elephant God
2. Contaminating The Ganges
3. Bakras To The Slaughter
