RED METHOD ANNOUNCE BRAND NEW EP ‘AS IN LIFE’

As In Life explores unfiltered mental suffering, journeying through a barren landscape of dark themes including misanthropy, solipsism, angst, grief, disaffection, psychosis, and rejection. Despite its frequent occurrence in people’s lives and personal lives attempts to de-stigmatise mental health, we still find it difficult to express and discuss everyday psychological distress. The new EP dwells on the darker and more complex parts of our psyches, ultimately finding unity in the cognitive dissonance that connects us all.

The new single, ‘Counting Corpses’, portrays a world where power is exercised through dominance, resources, and influence rather than genuine legitimacy. Unfolding in a climate where regional and global flashpoints intensify propaganda, brinkmanship and military posturing, the song invites us to scrutinise who holds real power; a topic that not only resonates with audiences questioning the narratives surrounding conflict, but also what it means to be human.

Speaking on the themes behind the new single, the band comments:
“The lyrics were formed from the idea that a Chaos God had been pushed aside by humanity had broken free to see what his world had become, feeding off the hatred humanity had created. They saw that selfishness and greed is what truly ruled modern day, so the only way to recover the world was to remove the very disease that is humanity.

“It’s not about the creature; the creature is just the symbol of destruction, but the message portrayed is that humanity is a virus and must be purged. To make it more coherent and philosophical, the idea got more and more grandiose the more we expanded on the concept of just a mere creature.”
