From the forthcoming album Arkanum that will be out on April 12th, Spit On Your Grave has released the video for “The Infection”.
Nothing short of being a cerebral horror movie, the band adds this about the song,
“This song talks about the passive-aggressive manipulation that someone can have over another person, manipulating them to act under their interests, like a puppet, making them believe that they are really their own decisions, reflected as the song says, infecting someone’s brain. Inspired by The Magician tarot card.”
The band chose The Magician, The Devil, The Star, The High Priestess, The Moon, The Hanged Man, The Tower, The Hermit and Justice to thematically represent each track of Arkanum,
On the album, the band says,
“This conceptual album tells the process of a mental detox, talks about an internal struggle to restore your inner self, where your demons surface and everything you believed in is questioned, that moment when you realize that for years you have followed someone else’s lead. You’ve had enough and decide to leave everything behind. It’s about losing yourself by being influenced by someone else and the struggle to wake up from that ‘reality’. Centering the lyrics in this inner fight with yourself, involving depression, anxiety, mistrust, feeling unfairly judged by everyone and having no help around.”
