about

Czech stoner-rock band Acid Row in cooperation with Samavayo from Berlin (Germany) are releasing a feature single The Serpent. A record about a serial killer arose from two different distant places, two countries and both bands participated in the production of it.
Members of both bands did the whole songwriting process online. They shared their ideas, created together a demo version of the song, discussed everything from pre-production, production to final release and promo of the song. The theme of the song depicts French serial killer Hotchand Bhawanani Gurumukh Charles Sobhraj, who killed around 20 people in an area of South Asia. In media the criminal got a nickname The Serpent. This is also symbolized in artwork made by Daniel Gerhard Holc with the central motif of a dancing snake with a human head of the mentioned killer mixed with slightly psychedelic background.

lyrics

He feels the fear in your eyes
You shouldn’t have looked back
He isn’t what he appears to be
From the very first time

The Serpent
The Serpent

He lures you slowly to himself
On the night you die
He lures you slowly to himself
On the night you die

No escape the door is locked
In the trap a future dark
No prominition poisoned trust
Rotten bones fall to dust

The Serpent
The Serpent

No escape the door is locked
In the trap a future dark
No prominition poisoned trust
Rotten bones fall to dust

After he kills you
He’s gonna wear your skin
After he steals you
He’s gonna spread his sin

The Serpent
The Serpent

What seemed to be a cure
Was the kiss of the serpent
What seemed to be sure
Was the kiss of the serpent
