NEWS: Red Method pack the explosives!

Celebrating the long awaited, highly anticipated release of the half an hour of power that is “As In Life” via Depraved Records, London Groove Metal force Red Method have dropped a music video for “Detonate“. As a record “As In Life” reveals unfiltered mental suffering with a strong use of metaphors to describe dark themes including misanthropy, solipsism, angst, grief, disaffection, psychosis and rejection, sonically abusing the ears with its primitive, violent sonic energy. Drawing from grunge, hip-hop, industrial electronics, death metal, and nu-metal, the record is sculpted with orchestral arrangements, turntable scratching, and programmed samples woven between primal grooves and devastating emotional dynamics.

Speaking on the new single’s themes, vocalist J S.A.N.G.R.E comments: “Surgery after surgery. Over a year and a half of my body being cut open while London just kept moving cold, indifferent, brutal. The system failed me multiple times. And somewhere in the middle of all that pain and rejection and waiting and silence, something inside me started ticking. Not breaking. Ticking. Like a bomb counting down to something I couldn’t name yet. Every day that passed with no answers, no help, no relief another second closer to detonation.”

“This song is that bomb. It’s every person who ever sat in a waiting room and felt invisible. Every person the system discarded. Every person who looked at the state of this world  the corruption, the lies dressed up as leadership, the saviour complex of people who’ve never saved anyone and thought: enough. Wake me up when it’s over. Or don’t wake me up at all. I wrote this from the floor. And I mean that.”

The band shares: “We’ve all been through it. Not just one of us all of us. At different times, in different ways, but we all know what the bottom looks like. That’s what this record is. It’s what happens when people who’ve been through the worst of themselves decide to make something out of it instead of disappearing or cowardly giving up.”

Guitarist David Tobin adds: “This EP is everything. A primal onslaught of human emotion and a critique of what we see wrong in the world. It explores every corner and facet of human suffering  the paranoia, the disconnection, the loneliness. We have lost our human touch. We filter our news like a game of Telephone until truth becomes unrecognisable. This is the EP for a world that has been lying to itself. And we are the band that has been through enough to finally say so.”
