God Complex Premiere New Single & Music Video "Depraved Idol" From Upcoming New EP "He Watches In Silence"

UK metalcore band God Complex have announced their new EP, “He Watches In Silence”, set for release on February 21st via SharpTone Records, following their recent signing with the label.

Alongside the announcement, the band has debuted a music video for the track “Depraved Idol”, which you can check out below.

Speaking on “He Watches In Silence”, the band stated:

“We’re incredibly proud of this EP and we’re thrilled for people to finally hear it. As a comeback effort, we felt it was important to do things differently, so we deliberately avoided lengthy pre-production and allowed small variations in the recordings to embrace the mess and chaos that sit at the heart of our sound. We wanted to create something more refined and savage than anything we’ve previously attempted.

The metaphor most people use to describe rebirth is the phoenix or a change of seasons but a more accurate image for this EP is a cornered animal. Something a bit feral with its drive to sustain itself untethered from restraint.

The title of the first single (‘Salt and Ash‘) evokes what is left behind when everything has been destroyed — but we were also interested in exploring rebirth imagery in the idol of The Green Man. He’s almost never depicted as a god demanding sacrifice, so our imagining is one where the renewal he symbolizes can only be attained through suffering and loss — a ‘Depraved Idol‘.”
