Okay, final week we realized about “irony,” so how about we deal with “sarcasm” this week, courtesy of Norwegian post-hardcore progniks Kambodsja. The Refused-inspired quartet supply an ideal instance of their newest observe, “Basement Prophet,” whose video we’re premiering beneath. Ya see, the refrain on this explicit adrenalin-fueled basher is, “we might all use a little bit bit extra hate,” and since we don’t see any the wrong way up crosses, pig blood or frowny corpse painted faces within the video, we will solely assume that Kambodsja imply the other and are being, you guessed it, sarcastic. As a result of, realistically, I’m fairly positive that we’re all good on the hate entrance.

So, get an eyeful of the video, whereby the frisky foursome appear like sketched-out NPCs in a online game, and see if you’ll find extra examples of sarcasm. There are a lot. The observe is taken from the band’s upcoming full-length, Resilient, which was produced, engineered and combined by Øyvind Røsrud Gundersen at Portåsen in Mjøndalen and mastered by Karl Klaseie. It will likely be issued on vinyl and digitally on September 29 through Mas-Kina. Place your preorder right here.

Right here’s what the band needed to say about its newest single:

“When the world turns you down and it is advisable to discover your personal horrible escape routes, then you definately’re a real basement prophet. This music is the closest we’re to being political when it comes to lyrics. There’s a lot stupidity/false info/hate and conspiracies being posted in social media lately so the music is taking a stand towards the web warriors… or at the least attempting to make enjoyable of them.

We’ve got all the time written the music first then added lyrics/vocals final and we now have by no means actually given lyrics and vocals an excessive amount of focus. This observe is likely one of the final ones we completed, and we altered it many instances earlier than and after we recorded it. It undoubtedly has a extra deal with vocals than a lot of our earlier songs – going by way of many iterations and experimentation earlier than we ended up with a observe that we’re actually pleased with.”
