Vanhan koulun death metal -jyrä Gruesome ottaa kantaaa Yhdysvaltojen joukkoampumisiin uudella ”Fatal Illusions” -kappaleella

Kirjoittanut Teemu Hakala - 23.5.2018

Perinteistä death metalia veivaava floridalainen Gruesome on julkaissut jälleen uuden kappaleen tulevalta ”Twisted Prayers” -albumiltaan. Järjestyksessään bändin toinen pitkäsoitto ilmestyy kesäkuun ensimmäinen päivä Relapse Recordsin toimesta. Levyn on tuottanut Jarrett Pritchard (Exhumed, 1349, Goatwhore), ja levyllä kuullaan vierailevana artistina legendaarisen Death-yhtyeen kitaristi James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Testament) muutaman kappaleen soolo-osuuksissa.

‘Fatal Illusions’ is a track that was truly co-written by Dan, Gus and myself musically and it was a lot of fun to arrange everyone’s riffs while we put the song together. One of the coolest things about this new record, for me personally, is that the writing has become more and more of a team effort, which is invigorating and keeps things interesting for us. When looking at Spiritual Healing for inspiration, one of the more depressing realizations that I came to as far as the lyrics, was that many of the topics that DEATH were addressing back in 1990 are still major issues today. As everyone knows, mass shootings have reached epidemic proportions in this country and we felt that it was a very ‘death metal’ appropriate topic to tackle. This tune is more about the delusions that lead someone to commit this kind of violence; the mindset that would make someone take such a drastic and tragic course of action. Before anyone starts projecting their own politics on the song, this is not an anti or pro gun song. This is an anti-mass shooting song. And if you think that there’s anything controversial about that, you can fuck right off.
