Brazilian extreme metal visionaries Ophiolatry have unveiled a lyric video for “Revenge”, a standout track from their recently released album “Serpent's Verdict”. The video offers fans a deeper look into the thematic core of a powerful and devastating album. The band shares the inspiration for the track:
“This song was inspired by a true event that occurred in the United Kingdom, where a woman killed her husband by placing boiling water mixed with sugar in her husband’s mouth when he was sleeping. She did so in an act of revenge after discovering accusations of child sexual abuse.”
“Revenge” exemplifies the album's exploration of indigenous spirituality and historical vengeance, drawing from a particularly chilling real-life event connected to the band's history. The track tells the story of a criminal who abused a small child and was subsequently hunted by the victim's parent along with indigenous warriors, only to meet a fate where a massive snake swallowed him whole before regurgitating him, a story that directly inspired the band's name, Ophiolatry, which refers to snake worship.
This lyric video presents these narratives through striking visual elements that complement the band's combination of technical brutality and tribal-influenced rhythms, allowing viewers to fully absorb the depth of storytelling that sets “Serpent's Verdict” apart from conventional death metal releases.
“Serpent's Verdict” is living, breathing, an invocation of the past, and a battle cry for the future. This artistic vision offers both longtime fans and newcomers alike an opportunity to engage with the mythological and historical foundations that inform Ophiolatry's unique approach to extreme metal. It is recommended for fans of Death, Deicide, and Suffocation.
