Finnish heavy metal band BYRON, known for their unique fusion of NWOBHM, doom metal, and occult rock, has returned with a potent new single, 'Resignation'. The band, formed in 2019, has a rich history rooted in diverse metal styles, as demonstrated in their 2021 full-length release 'The Omega Evangelion' and the 2023 single 'Sometimes Dead Is Better'.
Drummer and songwriter Johannes describes 'Resignation', the second single from their upcoming second album, as the angriest song he's created for BYRON. The track serves as a powerful critique against deceitful politicians and religious leaders, echoing the band's disdain for religiously motivated discrimination and hate. Johannes envisions a society free from superstition, underpinned by equality, compassion, reason, justice, and empathy.
“‘Resignation’ is the second single from Byron’s forthcoming second album” says drummer and songwriter Johannes. “It is probably the angriest song I have made for the band so far, and a big personal middle finger to all politicians and priests who talk pretty words and act like the pathetic cunts they are inside. The perfect song for a sunny summer evening, that is!”
He continues “Religion has been a great motivator for discrimination, hate and aggression throughout human history and we still see religiously motivated political decisions being made in civilized countries.
We need to believe and actively participate in building a society without superstitions and focus on a better tomorrow with equality, compassion, reason, justice and empathy towards one another.”
Echoing the sentiments of French philosopher Denis Diderot, Johannes highlights the need for liberation from oppressive forces, adding a philosophical dimension to the already profound track. Eager fans can give ear to 'Resignation' now, while the release date for their extravagant album, via THE GOATMANCER Records, remains in anticipation for 2023.
