MORDRED Debut "All Eyes On The Prize" Music Video
Архив новостей | Русская версия
Mordred have released a video for "All Eyes On The Prize", the latest digital single from their upcoming album, The Dark Parade.
"This song is based on the idea of manifest destiny here in America, set to the backdrop of the transcontinental railway construction of the late 1800s," explains guitarist Danny White. "I was watching a show called 'Hell On Wheels,' and it just struck me that manifest destiny and the idea that ruling America at all costs, plundering its resources and subjugating its indigenous inhabitants is somehow divinely preordained seemed antithetical to what a divine being originally intended. Colonization is an ugly business.”
Outside of their 2015 single “The Baroness”, 2020 EP Volition marked the first new Mordred music since the band’s 2013 reunion. The four songs on that effort saw the group return to the scene with a revitalized energy and successfully recapture their classic sound, which is rooted in thrash metal but veers off the straightforward path for more adventurous musical explorations by utilizing funk-infused musicianship and hip-hop influences. The Dark Parade is the continuation of the aural momentum that Mordred regained on Volition and showcases a band that sounds as fresh now as they did during their initial decade of existence.
The Dark Parade is Mordred’s first full-length album in over 25 years. Set to be released via M-Theory Audio on July 23, the record - which will be offered on CD, digital, cassette, blue vinyl with orange splatter and a limited-edition, mail-order exclusive white vinyl variant - can be pre-ordered here.
