Today, the band is excited to introduce you in the realm of their new single “The Dagger”: “Can you remember when you first felt that moist, foul breath in your neck, the too-sweet message brought to you? That demon’s most deceiving voice, whispering cunningly into your oh-so-lie-receptive ear—the promise to break the chains that enslave your heart and seal away your true desires. In your mind, you can already see those chains lying broken at your feet. You can breathe freely for the first time, let your mind rise, and ascend to higher grounds. Oh, the scent of freedom is the most intoxicating drug of all. Its lovely odor playfully dazzles your mind even in the darkest of times, an everpresent memory of a new dawn to come—nothing more than a dream, an offer, the deceiver’s luring promise. Will you accept? Accept to be a god among the insects, thrive while others perish, and grasp the true nature of the infinite cosmos. Then open your mind and offer your blood to seal the deal and be deceived for better or for worse by THE DAGGER.”
“The Dagger” is streaming now as a YouTube premiere and available from July 7th on all digital platforms, give ear:
