Blackbriar release video for fatal romance tale 'Bluebeard's Chamber' • GRIMM Gent

Blackbriar are proud to finally present their new studio album, A Thousand Little Deaths, released yesterday via Nuclear Blast Records. A modern masterpiece steeped in gothic mystique, featuring breathtaking tracks such as The Fossilized Widow, Floriography, A Last Sigh of Bliss, I Buried Us and Harpy.

Now, the band have also revealed a video for ‘Bluebeard’s Chamber’, the album’s opener. The track is a fatalistic romantic tale, inspired by the classic French fairytale.

Vocalist Zora Cock comments:

“Sometimes curiosity feels so strong that it’s almost as if you’re compelled to look by some unseen force, just as Aurora pricked her finger on the spinning wheel, which led her to a cursed sleep. A destructive kind of curiosity like Pandora’s, who opened the box, releasing all evil into the world. Or like Psyche, who couldn’t resist shining a light on her mysterious lover, only to lose him and be left pleading for forgiveness. Mine felt more like opening Bluebeard’s chamber, leaving me covered in blood.”
