August 16th, 2022

San Francisco, California-based heavy metal band Trauma have filmed a music video for the track ‘Death Of The Angel’. Directed by Mike Sloat, the clip can be viewed below.

Regarding the song, the band stated: “This song is heavily influenced by serial killers in general, and Ted Bundy in particular. It’s written from Ted’s point of view, and highlights some of his real atrocities. The end of the song has a beautiful melody that you could be singing about flowers and rainbows, but the actual lyrics make it exceptionally brutal.”
