carry the torch

In this new age of viral clips and social media, Cannibal Corpse is finding new fans through TikTok clips and memes, and influencing a generation of younger metal bands ready to carry the torch of brutality.

She, like other members of the band, is pleased to see new acts like fellow L.A.-based all-female rockers the Linda Lindas carry the torch, and hopes that others arise to keep rock ‘n’ roll alive.

Today, TikTok creators, YouTubers, and Instagram stars carry the torch first ignited by the first infomercial salespeople all those years ago.

Many times, these businesses are family-run operations, but maybe the next generation doesn’t want to carry the torch.

The rapper will carry the torch as part of the Games’ opening ceremony Friday, a Paris-adjacent mayor announces.
