NEWS: Red Method dig up a few corpses?

A visceral new single dubbed “Counting Corpses” has been chosen by London Metal band Red Method to announce a long awaited, highly anticipated EP “As In Life” for 17th July. An unfiltered exploration of mental suffering, journeying through a barren landscape of dark themes including misanthropy, solipsism, angst, grief, disaffection, psychosis and rejection, it’s labelled “volume one” with the subliminal suggestion that “As In Death” would be a logical volume two.

The band comments: “The lyrics were formed from the idea that a Chaos God had been pushed aside by humanity had broken free to see what his world had become, feeding off the hatred humanity had created. They saw that selfishness and greed is what truly ruled modern day, so the only way to recover the world was to remove the very disease that is humanity.

It’s not about the creature; the creature is just the symbol of destruction, but the message portrayed is that humanity is a virus and must be purged. To make it more coherent and philosophical, the idea got more and more grandiose the more we expanded on the concept of just a mere creature.”
