IKillYa premieres a new song and video entitled "Betray Your Creator", taken from the upcoming new album "War For An Idea", which will be out in stores June 2 via Urban Yeti Records. The band with this track takes a stand against the cultural justification of rape.

Explains vocalist Jason Lekberg: "Pure rage. That’s how we feel about cultural justification of rape, and so that’s the only way we could think to visually represent this song. ‘Betray Your Creator’ was an intense song to create and Matt Brewster and Christoph Knie of Engine Room did an excellent job of capturing that intensity in the video for it.”"

Check out now "Betray Your Creator" below.

Continues the band:

"Unfortunately, tons of people. For starters, here's the doc that inspired me to write the song: https://news.vice.com/artic… and https://www.youtube.com/wat…. According to a recent UN report 8 in 10 men in rural Bangladesh admit to have committed rape. As you will see from that coverage, the government and religions leaders blame the women. Telling them "you shouldn't be outside"…. In our own country, here's a story about cops in NOLA who ignored hundreds of rape claims: https://news.vice.com/artic…, and we haven't even begun to discuss our Frat date rape culture. According to the UN, one in every 3 women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence. An analysis of how these are justified will take more than a comment on a blog and a case by case examination – but I think it's clear that there's something to be said."
