The video re-imagines the death of Micajah Harpe, of the infamous Harpe brothers, America’s first serial killers. Taken from their 2015 debut album, Drink Over Your Grave, Sawtooth Knife was inspired by Harpe’s his legendary last words, uttered mid-decapitation: “You’re a goddamned rough butcher, but cut on and be damned.”
The clip was directed and edited by drummer Dale Bartlett and shot by Chris Lichti (Eaten By Dogs) in the Wombat Forest just out of Blackwood, Victoria.
