New England extreme metalers, Escuela Grind , will release its new LP, ‘Dreams on Algorithms,’ on October 18 via MNRK Heavy (High on Fire, Zakk Wylde).
Recorded at Salem, Massachusetts’ GodCity studio with producer Kurt Ballou, and mastered by Nick Townsend (Dr. Dre, Betty Davis) the record is the highly anticipated follow-up to Escuela Grind ‘s celebrated 2022 full-length debut, ‘Memory Theater’, a recording hailed as “an opus of extremity” by The New York Times.
Today, Escuela Grind releases a video for the new single, ” Concept of God “, directed by Seby X Martinez for Negative Kitty (Body Count, [adult swim]). Speaking on the track, the band offers, “‘Concept of God’ is about the chaos that ensues when humans come together; the good and bad things that happen when opposites and like-minded individuals attract. The main lyrics in the song are, “the concept of god only exists because of people”.
Speaking on the album title, ‘Dreams on Algorithms,’ vocalist Katerina Economou says, “We wanted to write an album that identifies what it’s like to consume in this era we live in: what we receive through our phones, the social media landscape, and personalized algorithms, and how it is translated by our subconscious. I think most people can relate to something in their online sphere infecting their dreams. This transfer was something we really wanted to expand on, and all of the songs have themes relating to dream analysis and technology.”
