The Snake Continued to Eat Itself
Joy Void, 2018
Inspired by real-life misadventures of playing guitar in a touring hardcore-punk band, The Snake Continued to EatItself tells the story of an alcoholic college dropout's quest to find meaning and purpose in life on the road only to discover that isolation, depression, and poverty follow him everywhere, even home.
Written with a mixture of hopeless naiveté and blind ambition, The Snake Continued to Eat Itself accurately chronicles the sad reality of broken dreams and lost love as the nameless main character navigates a world of disappointment, heartache, and self-realization.
