Tells frontman George Wilfinger:

“‘A Nice Beheading For MoM’ circles around the probably most infamous killing of Ed Kemper III. It’s the “mercy killing” of his own mother, as Ed put it. For those not acquainted with story: Things took place on the night of April 20, 1973, when Kemper’s sleep was disrupted as his mother, Clarnell Strandberg, returned home drunk from a party. Finding herself in bed reading a book, she observed Kemper entering her room and asked him “I suppose you’re going to want to sit up all night and talk now.” Kemper tersely replied, “No, good night.” When his mother has fallen asleep he later returned to her room again, where he attacked her with a claw hammer, followed by slashing her throat with a pocket knife. Kemper then beheaded her and, as detailed in a 1984 interview, subjected her corpse to ‘acts of humiliation’.

Kemper admitted to placing her head on a shelf and venting his anger for an hour, even resorting to throwing darts at it and eventually smashing her face. Additionally, he extracted her tongue and larynx, depositing them in the garbage disposal. Kemper once remarked in an interview, “That seemed appropriate, as much as she’d bitched and screamed and yelled at me over so many years.

Adds Wilfinger:

“I’m eagerly anticipating the completion of the official music video for that track we’re currently in the process of shooting with Rodger Fischer and Zetel Skempris from Snuffmasks Production. They recently crafted the visuals for Kraanium’s “Massive Piles of Festering Remains.” Our band performance footage for the clip was already captured by the talented Radka Klein (Nachtfrost Visuals) in a cellar near Vienna two weeks ago, while Rodger and Zetel will film the visceral and intense scenes “historically correct” involving all the blood and guts this February. We’re stoked to be working with this awesome team and can’t wait to present another visual masterpiece to our fans pretty soon.”
