Dutch blackened death metal outfit Misanthropia has unleashed its latest macabre masterpiece with a video for "River Dumplings", a track from its critically acclaimed album, Envy The Dead, out on 6 September via Wormholedeath.
In true Misanthropia style, this grim tale weaves through history's darkest corners, unravelling the sinister story of Amelia Dyer, the notorious Victorian-era "baby farmer".
In the shadowy corners of Victorian England, darkness didn't only lurk in the city's damp dungeons or hidden sewers. Even the quiet villages concealed unspeakable horrors. One such darkness came in the form of Amelia Dyer, a trained nurse who twisted the trust placed in her. For 30 years, Dyer preyed upon society's most vulnerable infants. Paid to care for them, she instead let hundreds perish from malnutrition, neglect, and worse. When their lives were snuffed out, they were wrapped tightly, as if in a grim ritual, and tossed into rivers like discarded parcels. Strangled by white cords, these "bundles of joy" floated in canals and bays, victims of a system and a woman who should have protected them. What awaited these children was not just humanity's apathy but perhaps something darker. Lurking in the waters were monstrous beings-figures that weren't entirely human. Were they the twisted manifestation of Dyer's evil or something else? Not all monsters wear men's faces; some wear the guise of women.
