Gutslit - 'The Killing Joke' (Official Music Video) 2023

Indian Death Grind Titans Gutslit's official music video for the song “The Killing Joke”.
The track is taken off their third studio album, 'Carnal', out worldwide July 2023.

The composition of this song draws its inspiration from the infamous figure of John Wayne Gacey, known for his heinous acts, providing an insightful exploration into the depths of his disturbed and deviant psyche. The lyrics themselves possess an unsettling and distorted quality that effectively unveils the horrors that linger in the wake of his actions.

The Killing Joke Lyrics:

The Killing Joke
Dressed up as a clown,
I r*** and torment with no frown!

Cuff you up and gag with blatant apathy,
Sodomise the innocence preserving thee.
Surmounting control, threatening infancy,
Boyhood and adolescence destroyed for glee.

Your life's a joke to me,
Surplus of hysteria,
Invasive mockery,
A lush rouge experience!

Acquainted neighbour,
Entrust beyond reciprocal
Intent tainted,
Abrasive surroundings terrorize!

Forsake righteousness,
Embrace violent tactics,
Dressed up like a clown to hide the scars that run deep!

Your life's a joke to me,
Surplus of hysteria,
Invasive mockery,
A lush rouge experience!

You think, you think you’ve had enough,
I will make you a maraschino pie,
Enough tricks, enough banter,
I will stab and pulverize your face!
The killing… the killing..
Joke!

Vocals, lyrics, guitars, bass guitar, drums, production all are top notch \m/ Cant find a single department where they have not given their 100%.

[totalgrind]

perfect song perfect band
from which movie is the intro?

[madhatyr]

Woah. I took a chance. I was not disappointed.

[HKKetoRecipes]

Killer video! Love the song too. EVIL AF RIFFS!

[batastrophic]

It's weird seeing a bassist look so enthusiastic playing this kinda music instead of the usual variants of player "stank-face" visage, but, hell, why not! At the end of the day, you gotta be really into playing this kinda stuff, or you should leave. DM requires so much passion and energy from its proponents. I really feel it from him. I've learned that, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much a death metal musician looks like if someone pissed in their cereal and told them they fucked their partner that morning when they're playing. Passion is passion. Inspiring!

[GUTSLIT]
