The devilish blues-rocker inhabits a narrator left for dead in a twisted new tale.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
The dark and disturbed will always captivate the human consciousness. With 2019 being the year of Ted Bundy ⏤ whose 30th anniversary since execution was commemorated with Netflix’s Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes and the Zac Efron-leading Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile ⏤ you begin to question from where this bloodlust comes. Well, the thrill is best left with the unknown. And so is the way with Sweden’s blues-rock fire-starter Bror Gunnar Jansson, who stages a hypnotic, truly macabre tale of his own death inside a heart-pounding new song. On the grisly bone-crusher “Body in a Bag,” which will send chills down your spine, he attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding what can best be described as a disgusting act against humanity. “My killer kept my head / Maybe he put it in a box under the bed,” he howls, a mucky blackness pouring out of him. Say what you will, Jansson is a masterclass singer, storyteller and musician, and your blood will surely run cold (and that’s a good thing!).
“Body in a Bag” is the centerpiece to Jansson’s upcoming true-crime-centric album, They Found My Body in a Bag, out September 20.
