Evocatively charged, RED SANDS present a powerful offering in their new music video for "System". The band sought to be bold in their approach to "System", not only through their criticism of political corruption but also through the track's musicality. Deviating from RED SANDS' typical sound, this offering presents the fierce edge of thrash metal with dynamic melodic and progressive components. The single is taken from the quintet's recently released EP, Evocations.
"Lyrically, 'System' is a protest song to condemn the destruction of our world". RED SANDS shares. "A song to denounce the corruption of our politicians, the hypocrisy of the clergy, and the environmental catastrophe caused by rapacious corporations. Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death, the Four Horsemen, morphed into evil political, religious, and economic powers that have shaped our lives in recent years."
Commenting on the sonic quality of the track, the band reveals, "'System' is probably the most intricate song on the list. Unlike 'My Beloved Ghost' or 'The Hunt', this track demands multiple listens to really grasp all its musical convolutions. Throughout five minutes of heavy riffs, bass scales, double kicks, guitar tremolos, and synth atmospheres, the song illustrates all the chaos of a real-life dystopia".
Independent melodic metal band RED SANDS have unveiled their highly anticipated EP Evocations. The record captures the group’s evolution into a symphonic, emotionally charged sound that merges power, melody, and atmosphere into a single vision.
