DECAPITATED | VOGG AND RASTA DISCUSS THE POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON NEW ALBUM ANTICULT – OUT NOW!

11th July 2017 0 By Jon Deaux

Polish metal extremists Decapitated released their seventh album, Anticult, last Friday via Nuclear Blast. The 8 track slasher opens with the trail-blazing masterpiece ‘Impulse’ and doesn’t let up until the closing track, ‘Amen’. Thematically and lyrically, Anticult deals with the abstract idea of who and what we, as humans, are. Conceived and written by vocalist Rasta, it’s existentialism at its finest. The lyrics discuss, as Rasta says, “the hourglass of life”. As for the title, ‘Anticult’, it posits a world where everything has input in our lives. The forces of modern society have an impact on everything we perceive and do. The idea behind it is to rage against the so-called machine. To be an individual. And to stand up for yourself and define your own code. With this in mind, Vogg and Rasta discuss the political influences on the album in a new trailer

“You can find ‘cults’ everywhere and in everything we do”, explains Vogg. “‘Anticult‘, from one point of view, is a rage against all of these values. An impulse. It makes you think: ‘What kind of world do we live in? Who or what pulls the strings? And what is our role here?’ So think of the title as finding your own ‘cult’. In that regard, ‘Anticult‘ is, from another point of view, about illumination. Or Noesis.”

In celebration of the release, the band have released new track One Eyed Nation

“We’re really excited to release the second song from our upcoming new record Anticult – ​’​Earth Scar!’ I have always drawn influence from all spectrums of metal and this song and​ our new​ record really reflect those influences. 

“​Much like ‘Never,’ ​this ​song ​has been designed to crush on a stage and we can’t wait to add it to our set. Rasta wrote the lyrics with a lot of metaphorical content dealing with touring. The opposing lifestyles from the ‘normal,’ day-to-day of being at home vs. being on the road and seeing our ‘tribe’ interacting with the music and the almost restorative qualities of that! We hope you all enjoy it and we can’t wait to see you all very soon!” – Vogg
