Sterilizing The Deceased Channel Pain and Power in New “Recovery” Music Video

Cleveland’s own Sterilizing The Deceased aren’t holding anything back. The melodic deathcore powerhouse has unleashed a gripping new music video for “Recovery,” the opening track from their emotionally devastating EP Nothing, released August 1st.

A collision of brutality and vulnerability, “Recovery” embodies everything that makes this band impossible to ignore — bone-crushing breakdowns, haunting melodic passages, and an emotional core that cuts straight through the chaos. The video brings it all to life with stark, unflinching visuals that match the intensity of the track, pulling viewers into a world where survival is an act of defiance.

At its heart, “Recovery” is about clawing your way out from beneath the weight of your own demons. The track explores themes of addiction, loss, and the desperate search for redemption, reflecting the EP’s larger narrative — a fictional/non-fictional story born from frontman Angelo Vespucci’s personal struggles with drug addiction and suicidal ideation.

The visuals hit just as hard as the music: shadow-soaked imagery, violent flashes of memory, and moments of fractured clarity that mirror the emotional torment of breaking free from the cycle. Every frame feels like a scream for release — not just for Vespucci, but for anyone who’s ever been there.

With Nothing, Sterilizing The Deceased prove that deathcore can be more than relentless — it can be human. “Recovery” isn’t just a song; it’s an open wound stitched together by riffs, rage, and the will to survive.
