Aussie progressive deathcore band Make Them Suffer is gearing up for the release of their fifth studio album, dropping a music video for their new track, “Mana God,” ahead of the self-titled album’s release on November 8th via Greyscale Records.
Sean Harmanis, the band’s vocalist, shared his thoughts on the track:
“There is a fine line to tread when discussing a song like ‘Mana God‘ without sounding like a crazed conspiracy theorist. I feel we’ve now reached a point in time where the systems of control in our day-to-day lives are both present and obvious to most rational minds. Despite this, having conversations about topics like this are becoming increasingly difficult and are often considered inflammatory.
‘Mana God‘ is a song about control. The control that the media can have over our thoughts and views. The control that religious organisations can have over people’s lives. The level of control that governments are able to enforce and most importantly the control that we are often held under by our own technological devices and their algorithms.
Most people today would know at least one or many who have been driven to the brink of madness by the echo chamber of their phone or computer. I notice many of these people being shunned, ostracised from their communities and held prisoner by their own confirmation bias, force-fed to them through their phones. I don’t see the people as the issue, rather the devices, for the breakdown of human connection.
‘Mana God,’ to me, is a call to action, to break away from the current systems of control and return to a space where communication and human connection are nurtured and encouraged.”
