Am morgigen Freitag veröffentlicht das deutsche Heavy Metal Kommando PRIMAL FEAR seinen neuen Longplayer „Code Red“. Doch schon heute gibt es die Bescherung für uns in Form der Single `Cancel Culture´ samt Video.
Mat Sinner über das Thema des Songs:
„There are countries where you just disappear if you speak your mind. These are intolerable conditions. But I’m not backing down. I’ve always been a rebel, I don’t want to conform. And I don’t have to play in certain countries either. It’s that simple.“
Ralf Scheepers fügt hinzu:
„The way the culture of having discussions with each other has gone down the drain, has become unbearable. People tend to have no more respect for each other and that’s a dangerous development and perspective. It’s the same sad development with all these ‚keyboard warriors‘ out there who hide behind a made up user name to release their hate, jealousy or frustration. I will never take this as a „Welcome to the Internet“ invitation, it’s simply a NO GO!“

Lyrics:
Into the circus of life we were pushed out of nowhere
Growing, maturing and loving and hating the game
Saddle the horse for a future that’s basically unknown
We procreate, vitiate, twisting the facts without shame
Manipulating
There’s only black and white, nothing in-between’s accepted
Everyone is right, not a chance for tolerance
It’s the curse of a cancel culture
It’s the fall of democracy
When the witch-hunt has begun
And we gather around the funeral pyre
It’s the curse of a cancel culture
No way for adequate defense
On the streets it’s dog eats dog
Crucified and banned
The cancel culture
Bullying, mocking and hating and whataboutism
Using our consoles and keyboards like weapons in war
It seems like the web has become a place to release anger
For people who don’t have a life need to upfront
Wishful sensation
There’s only black and white, nothing in-between’s accepted
Everyone is right, not a chance for tolerance
It’s the curse of a cancel culture
It’s the fall of democracy
When the witch-hunt has begun
And we gather around the funeral pyre
It’s the curse of a cancel culture
No way for adequate defense
On the streets it’s dog eat dog
Crucified and banned
The cancel culture
Talking about you
Writing about you
Around the clock
Jealousy is turning to hatred
And hatred is turning to frust
