Better hope your last meal is well digested before watching the latest Lord Mantis video for “Possession Prayer.” Well, it’s not that terrible, but there is some element of shock in it, plus there’s full-frontal nudity from both sexes. There’s also blood, bondage, and some weird kind of mummification. Eat your heart out Marilyn Manson. The video was directed, filmed, and edited by Gretchen Heinel, who’s done recent videos for Batillus, Theologian, Statiqbloom, and more.
“Possession Prayer” can be found on Lord Mantis’ latest album, Death Mask, which was released in April. You can order Death Mask on CD or MP3. You can get the massive gatefold double 12″ 180-gram vinyl at newdensity.com.
Following recent tour actions in support of Death Mask, including treks with Hell Militia and Today Is The Day, and others, Lord Mantis will return to Europe on tour this spring, the main objective being their second crushing performance at the massive Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland. More info on the upcoming invasion will be announced shortly.
