Escuela Grind Premiere New Single & Music Video "Always Watching You" From Upcoming New Album

Escuela Grind has released a video for their latest single, "Always Watching You." This track marks the debut offering from their upcoming, yet-to-be-titled album, blending powerviolence, grindcore, and hardcore elements. The band plans to unveil the album this fall via MNRK Heavy. Recording sessions were conducted late last year with Kurt Ballou of Converge as the producer.

The video was directed by Zack Perez. Vocalist Katerina Economou shared her thoughts:

“Most of ‘Always Watching You‘ was written in a practice space by Jesse and Krissy, and refined during soundchecks we had over the year. I’ve had this desire to write a song where I could portray the obsessive-stalker-girl archetype through lyrics for a while. Although not physically threatening, it’s really interesting that society is so terrified of this stereotype.

In ‘Always Watching You‘, I wanted this fantastical, Nightmare on Elm Street-style imagery that was rooted in the gore and horror of death metal. Themes of parasocial relationships, anxieties from social media, and an omnipresent algorithm are strongly observed in this song and throughout the entire album.”
