BOFO KWO New Single/Lyrics Video ‘The Massacre’ – Out Today!
The Massacre is the first lyric video from the new upcoming Bofo Kwo album Space/Time Carnivorium, released worldwide via Sliptrick Records on June 30th and it’s a story about our three main characters slaughtering of a group of worshipers.
The song captures the vibe as the three cannibals reminisce about the slaughter of a village, celebrating what ever false gods they are worshiping.
