Having been banned from being posted on YouTube, Genocide Pact have unveiled the official music video for their track “Deprive / Degrade” via Vimeo. Speaking of their issues in getting the video posted, the band offered:
“AFTER MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WE’RE FINALLY POSTING THIS. IT WAS TOO BRUTAL FOR YOUTUBE BUT WE DON’T CARE.
“MALADJUSTED SADISTIC MINDS CAN’T DISTINGUISH PLEASURE FROM PAIN””
Vocalist/guitarist Tim Mullaney previously had the following to say of the track, which appears on the group’s latest self-titled album:
“This song is an homage to our faster influences… old school grindcore bands like Terrorizer, Napalm Death, and Assück. We’ve always had parts that were influenced by these bands but this time we decided to do a 100% fast song for the speed freaks. The lyrics of this song describe a generation that is increasingly socially isolated, with world views formed by what gets to your screen.
Specifically, this touches on the fine line between entertainment and information relating to negative events. The ratings on war, terrorism, shootings, police violence, and on and on are so massive, it implies to some extent, that a lot of people are subconsciously entertained by the fucked up stories that dominate our media. At a certain point, the news goes from informing people to placing them in the center of a snuff film.”
