Vessel of Light Release New Music Video "Torture King"

Vessel of Light have released a new music video for their song “Torture King”. The track comes from the band’s fourth studio album, Last Ride.

The opening riff is very reminiscent of early Black Sabbath, and guitarist Dan Lorenzo stated the following about the creation of it:

“The opening riff to ‘Torture King’ was the first riff I wrote after we finished our last album. Even though it's not drop tuning it just sounded so heavy. Obviously, it's very Sabbathy and I was curious if Nathan could come up with a cool melody line to it. When I first heard what he wrote to it I was blown away...I still am. I actually asked him if we should change the name of our new album from ‘Last Ride’ to ‘Torture King’ at one point.”

As far as the song’s lyrical content goes, vocalist Nathan Opposition had the following to say:

“The riff in ‘Torture King’ is so heavy and dark that I wanted to make the lyrics evil and descriptive to get into the listeners head and convey a message equally as dark and sinister. For me it's about creating a mood when I sing and when I write lyrics. The mood of ‘Torture King’ is sadistic terror through the eyes of a cold-blooded killer. The subject matter is a familiar story, from Jack the Ripper to Dennis Rader. Sick people in the world playing sick games, winning sick prizes. Just a pawn in someone else's game of chess where human life holds no value and the ones who suffer are the innocent. There will always be real horror out there in the world no matter how much we try to hide it. There's no escape from it, just a blind eye.”
