Destroyed In Seconds release new lyric video for ‘The Badge’

DESTROYED IN SECONDS have released a new lyric video!

The new lyric video, for the track The Badge, is taken from the LA-based band’s latest studio album, Divide and Devour, which was released back in April. The lyric video was first premiered via MetalSucks.

Speaking about the song and its accompanying lyric video, vocalist Jon Tomala says, “I remember writing the lyrics a few years ago around the time of Philando Castile‘s murder. It rang so many familiar tragic bells. Countless names like Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown…. This list unfortunately continues to grow and has been a subject I have always felt strongly about addressing. When the murder of George Floyd occurred a month after our album was released, it was only a matter of time for all the words I wrote on The Badge to come to fruition. Sooner or later revenge is on the tip of everybody’s tongue. The entire world exploded with anger. The uprisings over the past few weeks have shown this, not only in our country but worldwide. The video showcases less than thirty-four seconds of the terror and brutality law enforcement agencies were dishing out during the first few days of protests. We felt it was important to not glorify or showcase their abuse of power any further. Instead we included scenes of protesters and other oppressed voices standing up and fighting back. Some in very violent and chaotic ways.”
