GOD COMPLEX ANNOUNCE NEW EP HE WATCHES IN SILENCE
SHARE VIDEO FOR “DEPRAVED IDOL” — WATCH
GOD COMPLEX have announced the details of their upcoming EP, He Watches In Silence, to be released on February 21 via SharpTone Records. Pre-order and pre-save the EP here.
To coincide with the announcement, the band have released the video for their caustic new single “Depraved Idol.”
On their new EP, the band comments, “We’re incredibly proud of this EP and we’re thrilled for people to finally hear it. As a comeback effort, we felt it was important to do things differently, so we deliberately avoided lengthy pre-production and allowed small variations in the recordings to embrace the mess and chaos that sit at the heart of our sound. We wanted to create something more refined and savage than anything we’ve previously attempted.”
God Complex continue, “The metaphor most people use to describe rebirth is the phoenix or a change of seasons but a more accurate image for this EP is a cornered animal. Something a bit feral with its drive to sustain itself untethered from restraint.”
In regards to “Depraved Idol,” the band states, “The title of the first single (‘Salt and Ash’) evokes what is left behind when everything has been destroyed — but we were also interested in exploring rebirth imagery in the idol of The Green Man. He’s almost never depicted as a god demanding sacrifice, so our imagining is one where the renewal he symbolizes can only be attained through suffering and loss — a ‘Depraved Idol.'”
