Danish modern metal virtuosos Mnemic have exclusively released "Diesel Uterus," the first song off their upcoming masterpiece Sons Of The System, at Germany’s Metal Hammer Magazine's homepage.
Mainman Mircea Gabriel Eftemie comments on "Diesel Uterus" and its lyrics:
"'Diesel Uterus' is probably one of the heaviest songs in terms of tuning. We still maintained the brutality but mixed it with some really beautiful melodies that can be heard in the chorus. The vocals had lot of room to unfold as heard in the chorus and throughout the song. It is mid-tempo pretty much all the way, and the middle part - or c-section if you will - becomes rather progressive and more melodic than the chorus.
"
The lyrics are about the way technology has changed our way of living. Everybody is dependent on digital devices, mobile phones, computers and especially the internet. If we have Google Earth, what does the military have? Are we safe at all? And is abundance of information a good thing? Definitely good, if you know how to avoid the bad things. The main point is that we should adapt to technology in a correct and balanced way. In reality, we do waste a lot of time. An aspect of the internet is that we end up watching the world most of the day through a screen. It is definitely a heavy topic that requires debate and a heavy song!"
Be prepared for a tornado of modern metal with both an industrial and progressive edge to it.
