Iconic Electro-Industrial act SUICIDE COMMANDO release their new song GOD OF DESTRUCTION (LIES LIES LIES) through label OUT OF LINE, dealing with issues of religion & mankind. Pioneer of dark electro Johan Van Roy delivers his signature haunting synthesizer melody, perfectly blending dark, aggressive beats with profound lyrical content. Besides the main song, the EP contains remixes by the American EBM project Kreign and the Greece Siva Six. Furthermore you can find a new remake in 2 chapters of "Destroyer of worlds"!
"While religion is meant to be something constructive, positive and should bring people hope, it unfortunately often is destructive and one of the biggest dangers of mankind.
Whether you believe in a Jesus or a God in whatever religion.
Religion often brings war, destruction, pain ... just think about all those terrorist attacks of the last decades, think about all those wars going on in Africa or elsewhere, and not to speak about the 2 faces of the church and their years of child abuse etc ..."
01 God of destruction (lies lies lies). This is what I wrote abouut it in my review (and it still stands): GOD OF DESTRUCTION starts like with a complete new sound for a Suicide Commando song and slowly changes into an EBM track from the 80’s but recorded with the gear of 2022. Somehow it’s also a bit of a catchy song (thanks to the vocals and the lyrics). If you listen to it a lot it might even become your most favourite track!
02 God of destruction (Kreign remix) gives it’s the power of a male choir (giving it a Chirstian sound), a more Front 242 minded touch and a good tempo. I can reveal that this version is indeed a great new approach! Well done!
03 I'd die for you (Siva Six remix) keeps the vocals as they are and enriches the sound a bit with a more pumping sound. Globally the sound somehow gets closer to the biggest Suicide Commando hit ever: Hellraiser. Or is it me?
04 Destroyer of worlds (the Trinity test - Hiroshima) feels like it gets a higher tempo, some robot kind of extra sound, a harsher view on the theme and lesser vocals.
05 Destroyer of worlds (the Trinity test - Nagasaki) puts a bigger focus on the vocals and the spoken word parts and sounds pretty close to the original.
With this EP Suicide Commando reaches out again and confirms that he is a real master! I'm happy he got this year for the first time on a Belgium radio and seems to still get bigger, better, faster ... He's inspiring more and more people and play more and more as a headliner and all over the world! Keep it coming and keep on delivering smart lyrics! We need people like you!
