De Amerikaanse groove metal band Lamb Of God heeft met “Parasocial Christ” hun tweede nieuwe single van dit jaar uitgebracht. Na de recente release van “Sepsis” volgt deze track direct als volgende voorproef van nieuw materiaal van de band. De single gaat gepaard met een videoclip, geregisseerd door Jon Vulpine.
Zanger Randy Blythe zegt het volgende over de track:
The Information Age has birthed the attention economy, an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars anchored in keeping eyeballs firmly glued to screens, thus generating ad revenue. Every second spent clicking and scrolling through the trivial and/or sordid details of other people’s lives, people that you will most likely never meet- celebrities, politicians, influencers- is another dollar in some already obscenely wealthy tech bro’s wallet.
You are a product, and you are being sold in a marketplace you have no share in. The irony of you reading this some social media platform or music news aggregator site is not lost on me; nevertheless I hope this song might make you consider who and what you give your attention to. Fuck the clickbait, put down the phone, go live your life- it’s waiting for you out in what’s left of the real world.
