Southern Californian mathcore quintet THE ARSON CHOIR has unleashed the official music video for "Ravenous" via War Against Records. Inspired by the 1999 Guy Pierce film of the same name, Phil Penegar wanted to capture the frantic and crazy energy that is embodied in both the film and the single as well as the themes seen in the Japanese anime Attack On Titan which he was binging at the time. Listeners are taken for a rollercoaster ride with pummeling chords and upbeat drums that are sure to feed the cannibalistic urges.

Founder and guitarist Marc Motley comments on the music, ""Ravenous" is the first release post-pandemic and following a massive line-up change. The departure of the band's longtime drummer brought on new obstacles which can be felt by the anxious yet chaotic chords and structure featured on the single. This song forced me to rely on my own writing ability to devise a melody that encompassed what I was feeling at this moment and influenced the direction of the band."

Speaking on the lyrical content, Phil Penegar adds, "The song has more of a punk flair and ARSON CHOIR wants to bring some spice to the Mathcore game. These violent delights have violent ends."
