Release date: Friday, November 24th 2023 Fundamental social criticism has often been the concern of traditional thrash and speed metal, and with today’s release of the video single The Seeds Of Greed of the Norwegians PARADOGMATA, this is presented again in unmistakable harshness.
On the first single of the upcoming album Endetid, politics and the church are getting their comeuppance for roaming the lands of corruption and intrigue hand in hand with large corporations. The song emerged rather spontaneously from said topic during a rehearsal for the album and could be considered the unplanned outburst of rage on the record, as shouter Frank Bøkseth remembers: “But the energy in this hectic, buzzy little scoundrel had to be put on tape ASAP, and I think that was for the best. It’s the fastest song, and possibly the one with the most words in it too, despite ticking in at just over 3 minutes!”
