Derision Cult – Warning Signs.
Industrial metal band, DERISION CULT has announced the release of their new single & video, “Warning Signs”. The video made it’s premiere at Glitch Mode Recordings immersive cyberpunk showcase, Tech Noir on July 20th, 2024.
“Warning Signs” is an industrial metal fast paced romp that features heavy and almost spoken word vocals thrash metal guitars, pounding cyber beats and the skittering guitar pyrotechnics of former David Bowie guitarist, Reeves Gabrels.
Lyrically, “Warning Signs” delves into our turbulent cultural climate, serving as a stark reminder of the warnings surrounding us. The gripping chorus line, “Is it getting real enough yet?” draws inspiration from a harrowing true story shared by frontman Dave McAnally’s brother, a Naval EOD officer. During a raid, a Hollywood director, witnessing the aftermath of a firefight, was shaken to his core. As a Navy SEAL carried the body of a Taliban member past the director, he chillingly remarked, “Oh, is it getting real enough yet?” This powerful moment underscores the song’s message about the peril of ignoring warnings until they become undeniable.
