Ward XVI Release: ‘Metamorphosis’ Date: 25 September 2020 (Metal Rocka Recordings) Style: Avant-garde theatrical metal RIYL: Alice Cooper, Avatar, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Marilyn Manson, Mindless Self Indulgence Location: Whittingham Asylum, Lancashire Deep inside the walls of Whittingham Asylum, a new inmate is tortured mercilessly at the hands of those who keep her. Consumed by a ferocious rage, she succumbs to the comfort of insanity. What emerges from the shadows is more evil and profane than any of her tormentors could have imagined… A mother’s love, formed in a haze of dolls and daisies, is blackened by merciless addiction. A little girl seeks protection from the broken and abandoned, anything to quell the monster that comes at night. Corrupted by unspeakable cruelty, pious innocence undergoes a malevolent transformation. Experience the elation of a first kill and the debauchery that ensues, culminating in a desperate run from the law. ‘Metamorphosis’ challenges everything you think you know about the notorious fiend, Psychoberrie. Travel back to the very beginning and ask yourself: is evil born, or made? Singles: Shadows, Mister Babadook, Imago.
