Die internationalen Melodic Death Metaller FRANTIC AMBER sind in Schweden beheimatet und bis auf Drummer Marcus Dalmanner komplett weiblich besetzt. Soeben teilt die Band einen Lyricclip zur am Freitag veröffentlichten Single `Black Widow´.

Die Band erklärt den Song:

„The given term `Black Widow´ is a category of female killers that kill for financial or material gain. Their victims are most commonly their husbands or lovers and likely with a life insurance or two involved. Oftentimes she goes free to kill again since she mainly uses poison which can have similar symptoms to natural causes of death, paired with the societal belief that women are soft and don´t kill… The black widows´s greatest weakness and most probable downfall is her greed. With a grand expenditure an lifestyle she must repeatedly turn to killing and eventualls suspicion and autopsies arrive. The lyrics are a reflection of this kind of female serial killers and have drawn inspiration from the stories of various women around the world fitting this category.”

Lyrics:

Psychopathic, magnetic
Men are drawn, she’s seductive
Manipulative, deceptive
Devious, preys on lonely hearts

Trapped in her widow’s web of lies
Oblivious in his bliss
Expensive habits to show
If he only knew where he was headed

Black Widow
Inheritance predator
She finds him, she weds him, then she kills him

Black Poison
Preferred modus operandi
She cooks him his favorite meal seasoned with arsenic

The wine glass shatters to pieces
He spasms on the kitchen floor
She watches in delight
Laughing all the way to the bank

Black Widow
Inheritance predator
She finds him, she weds him, then she kills him

Black Poison
Preferred modus operandi
She cooks him his favorite meal seasoned with arsenic

Exhumed bodies, traces of atomic number 33
Vomiting blood, in convulsions
A slow and agonizing death

Concealed, so close to other causes of demise
Untimely expirations surrounds her
Repetition and greed gets her caught

Black Widow
She finds him, she weds him, then she kills him

Black Poison
Preferred modus operandi
She cooks him his favorite meal seasoned with arsenic

Black Widow
Inheritance predator
She finds him, she weds him, then she kills him

Black Widow, Black Poison
Black Widow, Black Widow
