‘H.I.V.’

“H.I.V.” (Heretic Infected Voracious), the new video from Italian technical death metallers GORY BLISTER, can be seen below. The clip was directed and filmed by Positivecrew (Francesco Faicchia and Massimo Graglia). The song, which describes the human race as a “cancer on the planet that houses it,” comes off the band’s long-awaited new album, “Earth-Sick”, which will be released on April 23 via Bakerteam Records.

Commented GORY BLISTER guitarist Raff: “This new album is probably the best we’ve ever done. It displays the raw energy we always put into our shows but also the passion that drives us through good and hard times.

“Death metal is not about money, nor about fashion; it’s a way of life that requires no compromises. We do this because we believe in it and we want to keep the flame high. Our fans are going to love ‘Earth-Sick’!”

GORY BLISTER released its last album, “Graveyard Of Angels”, via Mascot Records.

“H.I.V.” lyrics:

Fluid as blood, uncoiled like a stream
Of venomous thoughts
Silent and vicious
The species seeps within
Impure, horrific
Evil, sick-sick-sick septic
The viscera degenerate eternally
Twisted hordes flowing through the flesh
Spilled into the red flux of the veins
Crushing all defense
Affliction, contagion, disease
Deviant, human beliefs
We are the cancer, we are the race
Heretic, infected, voracious
We are superior, we are the Faith
Heretic, infected, voracious
Firm and relentless
Civilization falls
Impure, horrific
Evil, sick-sick-sick septic
The planet degenerates eternally
Chemicals spread into the ground
Spilled into the pure flux of the streams
Released in the air
Oblivion, contagion, decay
Deviant, human beliefs
We are the cancer, we are the race
Heretic, infected, voracious
We are superior, we are the Faith
Heretic, infected, voracious
Slithering to extinction
Slightly to perdition
