Sumo Cyco invited fans further into their “Neon Void” today, August 13th, with the debut of a music video for their song “Asteroid“. Vocalist Sky Sweetnam directed the video that just landed online for the track, while also offering the following commentary of it:
“It’s about impact and anger. The world is so interconnected, and we all have heard of the butterfly effect. I feel there’s a growing tension when the actions one person takes affect everyone in profound ways. Thoughts can spread like viruses. Technology can change the world.
We glorify inflicting maximum change, but in the wrong hands, it can be exploitative of power. Whether that’s the ‘Move Fast and Break Things’ mentality or charging into AI tech before anyone can reconcile with the consequences. It makes me mad that we can be so reckless in pursuit of glory and ego
I feel like a flaming ball of rock & metal that wants to hurl myself into the abyss! The world has been through worse disasters, and it will survive. The question is, will we?”
The band’s next album “Neon Void” is set to receive an October 24th release date.
