The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die release new song ‘Auguries Of Guilt’

THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Auguries Of Guilt, is the brand new single from the American alternative band and marks their first new music since their latest album, Illusory Walls, which was released back in October 2021. The new song was produced and mixed by Chris Teti [FIDDLEHEAD, ANXIOUS] at Silver Bullet Studios.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist David Bello says, “the people in stories that get labeled as heroes are often brutal killers, capable of extreme greed and cruelty on behalf of their allies’ and their desires. This song tries to smudge historical and present-day conflicts with the emotions of loss and vengeance. It’s about the queasy feeling of rooting for a matador. The unease at the prospect of voting for a president when the lesser-of-two-evils has been enabling genocide, and the dystopia of an AI called Lavender determining its own morality of family annihilation.

I’d like to dedicate it to a number of people and things:

Dan Moses, a Lebanese man from West Virginia who stood as tall as Goliath and had the kindest heart.

Humbaba, the protector of the Cedar Forest in the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh

Paulo Paulino Guajajara, killed by government corruption and private industry while protecting an uncontacted tribe in Brazil.

Khaled Nabhan, Bearer of the Last Goodbye.

Abdullah Maarouf‘s olive groves in Deir Ballut, destroyed by the waste of oppressors, as well as all the olive oil not being made due to political destruction.”
