The USA-based industrial metal project Derision Cult, led by multi-instrumentalist Dave McAnally, has dropped a new single and video, "Warning Signs", an industrial metal fast-paced romp that features heavy and almost spoken word vocals thrash metal guitars, pounding cyber beats and the skittering guitar pyrotechnics of former David Bowie guitarist, Reeves Gabrels.
Lyrically, "Warning Signs" delves into our turbulent cultural climate, serving as a stark reminder of the warnings surrounding us. The gripping chorus line, "Is it getting real enough yet?" draws inspiration from a harrowing true story shared by frontman Dave McAnally's brother, a Naval EOD officer. During a raid, a Hollywood director, witnessing the aftermath of a firefight, was shaken to his core. As a Navy SEAL carried the body of a Taliban member past the director, he chillingly remarked, "Oh, is it getting real enough yet?" This powerful moment underscores the song's message about the peril of ignoring warnings until they become undeniable.
"Warning Signs" showcases appearances from Glitch Mode stalwarts and contributors, including Jim Marcus, David Kultgen, Justin Broadrick, Chris Harris, and Pete Berwick. Don't miss out on experiencing the raw energy and thought-provoking intensity of "Warning Signs.
The visually captivating video for "Warning Signs" was created by Vancouver-based Empire Animae - the creative minds behind Derision Cult's video for "Deaf Blood".
"We had so much fun with the 'Deaf Blood' video, we couldn't wait to work with Empire Animae again", says Derision Cult's founder Dave McAnally. "This time around we wanted to do a whole different setting and just go crazy with influences from 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', Martini Ranch and do things with animation that wouldn't be possible in a live-action video."
