The Dialectic Premiere New Single & Music Video “Murder Machine”

Deathcore group The Dialectic has unveiled a music video for their latest single, "Murder Machine." This Texan band will include the song on their upcoming EP, "Crawl To The Throne," set for release on November 17th via Seek & Strike.

Frontman Mitch Howie shared some thoughts ahead of the release:

“Our new track, ‘Murder Machine,’ just has a certain level of power to it. It was the first song we wrote for this EP and I remember us all envisioning performing it live. We just inherently knew how insane it would be to open up our shows with this. That’s why we chose to do a performance based music video for it. Some may think it looks a little overwhelming and that’s exactly the point. That’s what we aim for. We want you to see us play and within 15 seconds of our first song say ‘WOW, that is HEAVY!’

When we wrote ‘Murder Machine,’ the EP’s concept immediately started to dive into the pursuit of opening eyes to governmental corruption and politicians spilling innocent blood for corruption, without getting their hands dirty themselves. Every song follows this theme.

The writing process for this EP started out almost immediately after the official release of our last EP, A Falsehood Defined. We strived to put more emphasis on crafting faster, more aggressive sounds that we leaned into on the last EP, but with a more raw feeling in the lyrics. We shifted our lyrical content towards subjects that really matter to us (military, government, deep state corruption) and began to make sure the whole EP really followed those subjects. The other songs quickly followed suit and the ideas really fell into place once the title track. ‘Crawl To The Throne,’ was written, and the lyrics had a certain emotional feel.

We have soldiers go to war and destroy their bodies for the government’s financial gain. Only to crawl back home to be handed a piece of metal, just to be quickly tossed aside so that the new generations can follow suit.

This EP is about the cost and reward (or lack thereof) of going to war to fight for a government that doesn’t even know your name.”
