Highly theatrical modern metal giants Society 1 announce the official video release for the song “You Say It’s Heaven”, a pre-release single from the forthcoming 6-song EP titled “Rise of the Dead”.
See the video below.
Known for their extreme counterculture vision and ability to push the limits of stage and screen entertainment to it's maximum, Society 1 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel with this song and video release, but rather they deliver a consistency in both sound and vision of an art they've crafted to it's finest point. With this video forecasting what will soon be frontman Matt “The Lord” Zane's 9th studio CD release, fans know what they want and Society 1 is delivering.
Zane has sharpened the band to it's cutting state through a series of rotating artists that have helped create the the legacy. Ministry's Sin Quirin and Paul Raven, formerly of Killing Joke, have both tapped a vein to deliver the lifeblood that is Society 1 and their longstanding placement in modern metal, since their inception at the turn of the century, proves their staying power. What's more, the outrageous stage antics Zane masterfully brings to his audience has included performing a full 40 minute set suspended and swinging by four hooks through his back, as seen during the 2005 Download Festival; a record setting performance to beat!
Now in 2015, the band follows up their 2014 “Collection of Lies” CD with newly written and recorded tracks on an EP aptly titled “Rise of the Dead”. Independently produced, as the band is now free of a label, the initial song and video release that's gaining interest is “You Say It’s Heaven”.
When asked of the differences and goals the band has been working through since operating independently of a label, Zane shared: “The main difference is money. We still get the tour offers domestically and overseas but it's tough to afford. Radio and ads costs a lot of money. Luckily I direct vids and Alex (Crescioni) owns a studio. Our artwork and web stuff is handled by Dirt, so we're still very functional, just budgeted differently. Our goal at this point is to reach our old fan base and let them know we are still writing music for them. We'll reach some new people with the current sound too. We're hoping to sell more so we can continue touring and bringing fans what they ask for”.
Another new item of note is that with newly written and recorded music, the band has also issued a comic based on the band “No Salvation”. Learn more by clicking here.
Officially released at midnight on November 9th, you now have the official link to see, hear and share what Society 1 is bring in to close out 2015.
