A music video for “Tumors” from masked avant-grind outfit Squid Pisser went up online today, August 06th. Decibel premiered that clip, with the song itself set for the band’s approaching new EP “Throat Slave“. An August 28th release date stands for that outing, with the band set to tour this summer in support of it.
Vocalist Baxter Yogurt (aka Tommy Meehan of GWAR) elaborated on this latest single, stating:
“A tumor is just a chaotic mass of cells growing out of control without a purpose. A destructive asshole feeding off another life form because it can’t survive on its own. The song is about people who spread chaos wherever they go while hiding behind manipulation, posturing, fear, and false confidence. People like that can seem larger than life until you realize they’re just total parasites with no real personality of their own.
They’re faking everything they pretend to be, scrambling desperately and loudly for attention, conflict, and other people’s pain because there’s nothing of substance underneath. Even their identity is borrowed… Stitched together from the people they’ve used, envied, and tried to become. It’s about seeing through that illusion and recognizing these people for what they really are: cowardly, pathetic, and ultimately insignificant.”
