BRYAN ECKERMANN (Melodic Black/Death Metal) releases “Morbid Beauty” lyric video

Melodic blackened death metal solo artist, BRYAN ECKERMANN (SCARS OF THE FLESH, WINTERS PLAGUE, ex-WINGS OF ABADDON, ex-BLESSED AGONY) has released a lyric video for “Morbid Beauty.”

Recorded at Bonespill Studios, the brutal track is the fifth single out of six to be released from his forthcoming, self-released full-length album. Album title and release are to be announced.

Eckermann is a true D.I.Y. artist. The San Antonio-based musician produced the song, created the artwork, played all instruments and shot the video. The song was written after he designed the art, so he had a vision to build the music.

The single features guest vocals from Kobey Lange (CEREBRAL DESECRATION, SCARS OF THE FLESH) and a guest solo from Jon Santiago (THE JON SANTIAGO PROJECT). Lange wrote all lyrics and trades off vocals with Eckermann. Lange wrote the lyrics to Eckermann’s last full-length, “Zychodia.”

Lange’s lyrics are a commentary on the false beauty people try to attain by constantly wanting surgery, more makeup, etc. to mask the way they truly are. It’s done to the extent of becoming morbid. Their perception, however, is one of beauty. This is an issue of self-esteem—the world has instilled into their brain the idea that they aren’t good enough.

“Morbid Beauty” is the 5^th track out of six to be released from the soon-to-be-titled album. He previously released three covers of MERCYFUL FATE, ILLNATH, and JUDAS PRIEST songs. Each original track comes with unique artwork. Fans will vote for the best artwork, which will grace the album cover. Release date and album title will follow afterwards.

Eckermann comments on making “Morbid Beauty”:

“I had a lot of anger about a recent theft, getting fucked by insurance, debts eating me alive, etc. Life has been handing me shit so I put the aggression into the tune. I say musically I caught some inspiration from that new THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER I heard right around then. I don’t think the song sounds like them, but I did get pretty inspired hearing their new one… It’s perhaps the first time I have ever had an artwork to make a song off of before music, that was a first. Title and everything before any music.”
