German Death Metallers DISCREATION, have revealed a lyric video for their new single “God Of War”, produced by Ingo Spörl. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album ‘Iron Times” due for release on March 24th via Massacre Records.
Created during the Corona pandemic and under the impression of a then impending – now ongoing war in the middle of Europe – inspired by the countless wars and turning points in history, “Iron Times” marks the band’s darkest record to date.
But “Iron Times” is also a turning point for the band, as with Marc Grewe (ex-MORGOTH) DISCREATION welcomed a true Death Metal legend to their ranks! His distinctive voice perfectly matches with the new album songs, while blast attacks, tank grooves, bleak melodies and grim determination showcase DISCREATION‘s very own variant of German Death Metal.
Guitarist Sebastian Schilling, comments on the song: “ ‘God Of War’ is the personification of the ever-present potential for conflicts to turn into violence and war, even if no one actually wanted it to. In ‘Nothing New In The West’, the protagonist Paul Bäumer puts it this way: ‘I think it’s more a kind of fever. Nobody actually wants it, and all of a sudden it’s there. The song creeps forward like the first tanks in the Battle of the Somme, before the inevitable blast thunderstorm occurs.”
“Iron Times” was produced by Alexander Krull, who gave the album an earthy yet powerful sound. The goal was to capture the band’s raw live sound and add a contemporary punch. And as the first single releases prove, mission accomplished!
