UK PREMIERE: Revelation – Controversial

Distorted Sound is delighted to be the official UK partner in the premiere of the new music video from CONTROVERSIAL!

The new music video, for the track Revelation, is the title track from the German technical death metallers’ upcoming new album which is scheduled to be released in October this year. We are delighted to be the UK partner in the new music video’s premiere!

A bold, defiant and multi-faceted “opinion piece” from the band, Revelation addresses the most popular religious structure in the world: Christianity. The quintet’s latest single tackles a number of issues, from subjugation and suppression of freedom to the creation of “fear cultures” and tactics employed by radical groups throughout history to spread their religious message.

“For a while, I became fascinated with documentaries about radical Christianity,” explains vocalist Jonas Langhammer, detailing the inspiration behind the band’s latest single. “Watching them, I saw how fear has been used by radicals a tool for their own good, and to discriminate against other beliefs or different ways to live one’s life. Also, there is Anders Breivik who fashions himself a “cultural Christian” and a modern-day crusader in a resurrected order of the medieval Knights Templar, riding out to do battle against “multiculturalism” and the onslaught of “Islamization” — and to suffer the glory of Christian martyrdom in the process. I believe that there is no right or wrong when it comes to faith in a higher power but I do find that there are major issues with the more radical sects of the church and how they seek to control and coerce.”
