Canadian deathcore titans A SCAR FOR THE WICKED have unleashed a brand-new guitar playthrough video for their latest single, "Sacrificial Genocide." This track is a powerful preview of their upcoming album, Acolythus, which is set for release on November 7th, 2024. You can watch the playthrough HERE.
"Sacrificial Genocide" dives deep into dark themes of religious deception, mass manipulation, and the sin of fraud. The song tells the harrowing story of a false prophet who convinces his followers that he is the second coming of Christ. Leading them into a fatal ritual of poisoned wine disguised as the blood of Christ, he orchestrates a mass suicide, harvesting their souls to elevate himself to an even more malevolent form. This chilling narrative, combined with the band’s brutal, technical musicianship, solidifies A SCAR FOR THE WICKED as a force to be reckoned with in the extreme metal scene.
The playthrough video offers a unique and haunting twist. Both guitarists perform blindfolded, showcasing their mastery over the complex, blistering riffs that drive "Sacrificial Genocide." The intense visual of blindfolded musicians highlights the intricate precision and control that defines A SCAR FOR THE WICKED’s sound, adding another layer of intensity to the track’s dark themes.
