about

This song was inspired heavily by the themes and story of Cyberpunk 2077. Being a massive fan of dystopian future films and books, this game was always going to be a massive hit with me.

The song is written from the perspective of an industrial metal artist residing in Night City, outraged by the many perceived wrongdoings of the megacorporations, and those in charge of them. Drawing on the parallels between this fictional universe and what’s been happening in recent times in our own world, I channeled that outrage into the song.

Written on my 9 string guitar and using many layers of metal instruments blended with aggressive synths, a sound I’m immensely proud of and happy to call my own.

For the video I wanted to have a colorful look, but channeled some of the 80s/90s horror aesthetics. USing split colors on my face and low angle shots, combined with filters and film emulation, I really love how the video looks and feels when combined with the song.

lyrics

Let ‘em die, the first words you utter
Exist in decay, rubble and squalor
You klep from us lives, dealing in deaths
Greed above all
We’d zero you just for one Ed.

You are not gods!
We raise our hand to you
You are not gods!
We’ll hear the dead speak
You are not gods!
We’ll tear you from your tower
You are not gods!
Your sins will you suffer

Resurrection
Abomination
No trade for life
What is not perfect, requires much change

You are not gods!
We raise our hand to you
You are not gods!
We’ll hear the dead speak
You are not gods!
We’ll tear you from your tower
You are not gods!
Your sins will you suffer
