A newly issued press release has found Showing Teeth speak further about the song and what it and the video mean to her:
“‘Hellraiser‘ is about the rage I feel towards my upbringing and the suffering I faced by the hands of the very people claiming to hold the keys to heaven. These people swear on a bible and fearmonger in the name of God, pandering to people in my community, all the while, protecting pedophiles and rapists in power. Hell is very real, and the devil shows his face every time someone is hurt, assaulted, oppressed, or killed because of who they are.
“It was important to me to include drag artists in the ‘Hellraiser‘ video, because of the inspiration they give me in my writing, as well as to push back against the punishment drag art receives from Christian conservative media. I remember the first time I saw a horror drag artist, and it changed everything I knew about art; the contrast of the beauty and the gore felt like something I had been missing in the art I consumed. Horror drag has inspired so much in my music and my life.”
This new single follows in the wake of Showing Teeth‘s debut EP “A Fate Worse Than Loneliness“, which was issued this paste September via Spinefarm/Republic.
