God Complex announce new EP ‘He Watches In Silence’
GOD COMPLEX have announced a new EP!
Titled He Watches In Silence, the upcoming EP from the Merseyside-based metallic hardcore band is the follow-up to 2021’s To Decay In A Deathless World, and is scheduled to be released in February this year, via SharpTone Records.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, the band shares, “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.
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.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, GOD COMPLEX have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Depraved Idol. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming new EP, following on from Salt And Ash, which was released in December last year.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “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 symbolises can only be attained through suffering and loss – a Depraved Idol.”
