Iranian Death Metal band CARNAGE VOID take big risks with bold statement by releasing “Let There Be Carnage” Single
Carnage Void are taking big risks with their latest single, a glimpse and statement of what is happening in their daily lives. A quick glance at the international news or social media and you will surely be aware of the state of turmoil and oppression in which their country lies.
With lyrics aiming a direct hit at the heart of the matter, here is what the band has to say:
“When cities wake up in smoke and blood every day.
When they bring suppression and poverty to people’s table.
When men are slaves to the gears of industry and women are the property of religious leaders.
When children are victims in their schools.
And righteous teachers and writers are in prisons.
When mothers are unaware of their child’s execution.
And when you start your life every morning facing these events, you will actually understand what living in the Middle East looks like.
Let there be carnage.”
“This piece is a call. For anyone whose freedom, sex, love, and art, and ultimately their life have been taken away from them. In the darkest days of Iran’s history, we took the risk of being arrested and recorded this track in our homes. The goal was not only to show musical or singing abilities, but the exact expression of all our feelings about living in this Dark Age.
We thank and cherish all our brave artist friends who helped us to finish this task.
To freedom for all!” – Carnage Void
