Post-hardcore band Sobriquet have released a video for their new single Death of the Author.
“It’s a declaration of self-worth, and a stand of solidarity against the dogma of public figureheads who elect to use their platform to spew hatred against some of the most vulnerable members of our community,” explains vocalist Ludovico Fahey. “We must celebrate the malleability of self identity and expression, and eschew the works and words of those who seek to diminish and segregate. A platform of privilege does not equate to a pedestal of respect. We dictate our own narrative. The author is dead.”
“The track has a sharp, tight aggression to it that felt absolutely necessary to us, and a perfect development from our previous releases. It also allowed us to be more ambitious with time signatures and rhythms, something we had only really explored on previous track Benighted.”
