Midwest death machine Casket Robbery will release their second full-length album, Rituals Of Death, on November 11th via Blood Blast Distribution. CD and merch bundles can be pre-ordered at this location, while streaming / digital downloads are available to pre-save here.
A lyric video for "Return To The Sky", the third single from the album, has just been made available. Vocalist Megan Orvold-Scheider comments: “‘Return To The Sky’ came about after I was reading a book about death and burial practices around the world. I read about Tibetan sky burials and knew I had to write a song about it. We tend to fear things that we don’t know, and while this practice can seem gruesome to some, there is something so incredibly beautiful about your body being returned to the earth in the end.”
Your consciousness snapped right from your bones.
An offering to appease,
Give back to the earth that gave you life
“This ended up being my favorite song on the album, and we’ve been having a blast closing our live set with it!”
