EXODUS have just released the official lyric video for the track, “Prescribing Horror”, off their latest studio album, “Persona Non Grata”. You can check it out below.
The song’s lyrics tell the story of Thalidomide, the drug developed in west Germany as a sedative in the 1960s and used to ease morning sickness in pregnant woman and which has been linked to thousands of birth defects.
Guitarist Gary Holt states: “As we have finally come to the day of ‘Persona Non Grata”s release, something we’ve been eagerly awaiting for what seems like an eternity, we are pleased to share one last lyric video with you, my personal favorite song on the album, ‘Prescribing Horror’. A little tale of motherhood and a drug, and what happens when greed comes before life and safety. The story of Thalidomide.”
