DERISION CULT - Spotlights Corporate Manipulation Of Modern Culture On Upcoming Album

West Chicago (USA) based industrial metal project Derision Cult, led by multi-instrumentalist Dave McAnally, is set to release their newest studio album, Charlatans Inc., on 14 September. Charlatans Inc. is a visceral take on media manipulation and provocation in America. With citizens producing more data about themselves, and media and big tech getting better and better at extracting and refining that data, with all of us plugged into an over-stimulated digital world, buyers need be beware.

Dave McAnally explains: "I was driven to use this album as a platform to say something about the role consumerism played in provoking outrage and anxiety in the last year. The media doesn't want you to think, they want you to feel. But as long as we can identify those things when we see them, we become immune and find real peace and harmony. This is not a political album. It's about media and the importance to filter signals and understand when you're being marketed to. More than ever, your beliefs, your politics and your passions are all up for sale. Buyers beware."

The man behind Derision Cult, Dave McAnally is an Iowa native and a multi-instrumentalist involved in a number of projects across a range of genres. He's been featured on releases by Metropolis Records as well as his own imprint South Street Dungeon. Check out the album video teaser below. Link
