Make Them Suffer Unleash New Single "Mana God"

Single Release

14 Oct

Oozing with raw savagery, the brand new single Mana God from Make Them Suffer blisters between deathcore and palpitating electronic urgency. 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.

Wielding slightly new sonic terrain for Make Them Suffer as they approach the release of album #5, Mana God showcases some of the heaviest moments lying in wait on Make Them Suffer, releasing today with an accompanying music video.

"There is a fine line to tread when discussing a song like Mana God without sounding like a crazed conspiracy theorist," shares vocalist Sean Harmanis. "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."

"Mana God is a song about control," adds Harmanis. "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."

"Most people today would know at least one or many who have been driven to the brink of madness by the echo chamber of their phone or computer. I notice many of these people being shunned, ostracised from their communities and held prisoner by their own confirmation bias, force-fed to them through their phones. I don’t see the people as the issue, rather the devices, for the breakdown of human connection."

"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."
