    "Jonny and I delved extensively over the past few years into the conceptual aspects of "Moon Healer", and there was naturally a wide array of visual imagery invoked by the subject matter. We really wanted to bring the experiences of the character in Sun Eater/Moon Healer to life. The thematic elements represented are uniquely interesting to me so I was quite enthused to be able to take on the videos for "The Agony Seeping Storm", and now, "The Forever Rot". I've been pretty extensively diving into video production over the last few year with director Kyle Lamar from Digital Myle on other projects, so there's a synergy that's there with us already. His camera work is incredible and he's got such a great grasp on every element of the process. Jonny, Kyle, and I really gelled (ha) together, and I think it shows in the final product. Extracting the raw, authentic elements of the song's narrative, melody, and emotion, and translating them into a visual composition has been vastly artistically fulfilling and I look forward to creating more...from brainstorming, to filming, all the way through editing, it's such a fun process to see our ideas come to fruition. It's quite the ride...we hope you enjoy the trip!" - Nick Schendzielos

    "Moon Healer" is a vivid illustration of what happens when creativity, aggression, and volatility tangle for the first time in years. Like the band’s critically adored, 2014-released "Sun Eater" full-length, "Moon Healer" is musically multifaceted, unabashedly brutal, and compellingly conceptual. Featuring a newly refreshed and reinspired lineup of frontman and co-founder Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer (since 2020) Navene Koperweis, the band seamlessly picks up the mantle where Sun Eater left off.
    Davy furthers elaborates, “On MoonHealer, we explore a concept centered around a close friend who embarked on a relentless quest for profound enlightenment through the incessant abuse of hallucinogenic drugs, leading to a severe disconnection from reality due to the toll it took on their mental health. The song 'The Forever Rot' touches on their beliefs that human evolution and development have somehow led to the restriction of perceiving otherworldly or inter-dimensional realities and religious entities. It delves into their disconnection from the physical world and the notion that true vitality may be found in the ability to self-destruct and recreate. That some of the drugs they consumed opened these realities that evolution has closed the door on.”

    The Forever Rot
    The Hominid trajectory was the catalyst to forbid this inter-dimensional imagery
    For the substance of our existence seeps of earthborn putridity
    This mystic entheogen, skinning my essence from a planet of regurgitated monsters
    It ripped the threads of a dying macrocosm where all creations are charades and imposters
    I no longer sense a ghost inside my carbon-based vessel, the grief is horrendous
    But I rest in comfort of knowing my soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
    As my fleshed flame was quenched with gloom
    The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
    I can overhear my shadow's dimming cry,
    It wept and said, "Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
    I no longer sense a ghost inside my carbon-based vessel, the grief is horrendous
    But I rest in comfort of knowing my soul is eternal and my consciousness endless
    As my fleshed flame was quenched with gloom
    The eternal darkness took my soul to consume
    I can overhear my shadow's dimming cry,
    It wept and said, "Only that of which can destroy itself is truly alive"
    No longer was I to be revived
    My body had been purged, bathed by the sound of flies

      I disagree. This and the agony sleep video are like mini movies. If the band appeared in the videos, I think it would actually be distracting from the story that is being told. There are plenty of live videos if you want to know what the band looks like.

    I remember seeing job for a cowboy and gwar open for lamb of god back in 2009 and have been a fan ever since. I was 14. They showed me a part of hearing music I never could have imagined. Love the new album

    Now this video clip it´s totally relevant. Loved the art direction. I dont know what the lyrics are talking about, but in the end it remembered me a lot of Hellraiser´s movies and Pan´s Labirybth movie. Incredible.

    The main guy reminds me of myself. my mind is permanently damaged from years of experimenting and trying to break it open in a search for something I cant even define.
