Capturing fear, anxiety, terror and despair, SEEING THINGS reflect on current social issues of apathy and injustice. Through their lyrics, they confront these issues directly and encourage the listener to face their own inner demons. Ever since its inception, SEEING THINGS was forged to bring a fresh new sound to the stage. The band emits a distressing energy of downtuned mania fuelled by ever-present paranoia 妄想症. With their raw, unfiltered energy and their unyielding commitment to their message, SEEING THINGS invites you on a journey of self-discovery and social awareness.
In their short time as a band Seeing Things have already landed significant editorial support from Spotify (All New Metal, Metal Charge, The Core) across previous releases and have surpassed 650,000 Spotify streams over the past year. Furthermore, the band have had support from Deezer, landing both the Metalcore and Deathcore playlists. The band will now release new single ‘Soulkiller’ on the 10th February 2023 and already have the backing of Metal Hammer, V13, Primordial Radio, Idobi Howl, SpaceUntravel, Moshville Times, Heavy Magazine, Idioteq and many other publications.
“Soulkiller” is a powerful and thought-provoking cyberpunk-themed track that invites you to confront the fears that hold you back and reclaim your humanity. Through its haunting lyrics and intense instrumentation, this track takes you on a journey through the mind of a person trapped in the state of a “digital matrix”, and challenges you to awaken from your slumber and embrace your true potential. Inspired by the hit game Cyberpunk 2077 and the Matrix trilogy, “Soulkiller” explores the dangers of merging humanity and technology, and the consequences of becoming a victim of a mysterious program called “Soulkiller”, which extracts the human soul and turns it into an AI. But this track is not just a warning of the dangers of technology. It is also a metaphor to mankind turning a blind eye to the issues of tomorrow, as we trap ourselves in a narrow, self-serving world, doomed to make short-sighted decisions. This is a call to action, a challenge to break free from the soulkiller and fight for a better future. Will you answer the call? Listen to “Soulkiller” and let your soul be set free.
Guitarist Martin Zálešák explains:“Ignorance may be bliss in the short term, but it is a surefire way to fail in the long run. By turning a blind eye to the issues that do not directly affect us, we trap ourselves in a narrow, self-serving world, doomed to make short-sighted decisions. It is only by opening our eyes and hearts to the struggles of others as our new single ‘Soulkiller’ suggests, that we can truly succeed in the long term. The ‘Soulkiller’ (inspired by the Cyberpunk 2077) is a program which is able to separate the body and soul of a person. Life, death, and in between – glass. It seems as though our minds have been already disconnected and we are now trapped in a state of apathy, with the only hope being that enough people will awaken and break free from this state. Amidst the emerging European energy crisis, it’s disheartening to see how many people are willing to let their neighbors suffer and die just to save a few dollars. Perhaps we have lost our way as a society if wealth is considered more important than human life.”
