Hacktivist release music video for ‘Dogs Of War’

HACKTIVIST have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track Dogs Of War, is the newest single from the grime metal quintet.

Speaking about the track, which explores the normalisation of warfare and how it affects us in more ways than we may realise, the band says, “this theme is very important to us especially as we are in an age of seemingly perpetual warfare. Everyone is affected by these continuous wars in some way, even on subtle levels through taxes, fuel prices and economics. We wanted to address the fact that war has now become a normalised part of everyday life and how it’s increasingly clear that it’s being conducted in the name of control and profit. The other factor is that, as much as we’re all dogs of war being dragged into one international campaign after another, it’s the armed forces on all sides who are being used and exploited to an even higher degree.”

The track was also inspired by anti-war material that co-vocalist J Hurley had been researching during the writing and recording of the song, which included a series of talks by Mark Passio and George Orwell‘s themes of “double think” and “news speak”.

The band will also be returning to the studio next month to record their new album.
