Mask of Judas release new music video for ‘The Conspirator’

MASK OF JUDAS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Conspirator, is taken from the band’s hotly anticipated debut album The Mesmerist which is scheduled to be released in May this year. Speaking about the new single, guitarist Sam Bell says,The Conspirator is a great example of MASK OF JUDAS‘ core sound. Heavy and melodic technical riffs coupled with aggressive vocals which effortlessly meet with melodic and emotive RnB flavours all wrapped up into a pop structure with buckets of groove. I wrote the original guitar parts when I was messing around with some bebop and funk inspired riffs on the 7 string. Reece re-enforces the melodic lines in the riffs with his tight guitar harmonies. Jo came up with some incredible vocal melodies over the top which I would have never imagined which transformed the song yet again. Jof and George further solidified the song by providing punchy catchy grooves. Oh…and I got to do a guitar solo! (of course!) I am proud of this song!”

Continuing to speak about the upcoming album, vocalist Jo Challen says, The Mesmerist’s ongoing theme is modern day society and how our lives are largely controlled by illusive influencers we are compelled to follow: Politically, socially, religiously, and artistically. It’s a reflection of a reality in which our own free-thinking, beliefs and tastes are largely modelled and modified by a cohort of mesmerists, be they elusive, or starkly visible popular figures. It aims to provoke us to question our blind beliefs and everything we think and feel without questioning.”

The Mesmerist is set for release on May 11th via self-release.
