Burn Down Eden release new music video for ‘Burn Down Eden’

BURN DOWN EDEN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Burn Down Eden, is taken from the German melodic death metal band’s upcoming new EP, Epiphany, which is scheduled to be released in December this year, via Seek & Strike.

Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “after our self-titled album from 2021, we needed a self-titled song for this record as well. It seems that many people still think that BURN DOWN EDEN stands for bashing the church/religion, which is definitely part of our critics, but our name is also a metaphor to how men are burning down our paradise called earth on a daily basis. And it’s mostly driven by power and greed. Just have a look at the daily news…war in Ukraine, Israel at war (while this is a religious conflict and what we think of that was covered in our 2022 EP release Sermonize), inflation leading to people suffering because they can’t afford the simplest things no more, while 1% of the world’s population becomes fatter and fatter by holding half of the world’s net wealth. Our societies are falling apart since there’s only a black and white perspective on things. ‘You’re either with me or against me.’ Several civil wars or a third world war have never been more likely than today.

Sure, economic growth is not the sole reason for all the disparities and inequities in the world, but it plays a huge part. Our bill will be paid eventually, but to what costs. With our self-titled song we wanna cover that topic. The video to the song supplements the whole thing. We did it the BURN DOWN EDEN way and tried to picture this serious topic in a funny way. Inspired by the movie Wolf Of Wallstreet we tried to put all the stereotypes of the business world in a bit over three minutes. Starting with our vocalist Pether being the boss, who loves to yell at people on the phone just to rip a line of coke afterwards to get ready for the meeting, where he yet again is yelling at his employees. He wants to put the right mindset in their heads to do whatever it takes to make the sales, so that all of ’em become filthy rich. Ultimately, they reach their goal with their unfair business practices and they celebrate their win to the fullest until the SWAT team destroys the party.”
