Bleeding with raw savagery, the brand new single ‘Mana God’ from Make Them Suffer blisters between deathcore and palpitating electronic urgency setting the stage nicely for the release of the aussie legends fifth album.

Speaking on the track vocalist Sean Harmanis shares “There is a fine line to tread when discussing a song like ‘Mana God’ without sounding like a crazed conspiracy theorist, I feel we’ve now reached a point in time where the systems of control in our day-to-day lives are both present and obvious to most rational minds. Despite this, having conversations about topics like this are becoming increasingly difficult and are often considered inflammatory.”

He adds, “‘Mana God’ is a song about control. The control that the media can have over our thoughts and views. The control that religious organisations can have over people’s lives. The level of control that governments are able to enforce and most importantly the control that we are often held under by our own technological devices and their algorithms.”

“‘Mana God,’ to me, is a call to action, to break away from the current systems of control and return to a space where communication and human connection are nurtured and encouraged.”

Out today via Greyscale Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world, “Mana God” reveals another layer ahead of the release of Make Them Suffer’s forthcoming self-titled studio album, due out on November 8. Get it here.
