Coinciding with a certain upcoming Hollywood blockbuster release, the three-piece&#8217;s latest single is a direct quotation from J. Robert Oppenheimer &#8211; &#8220;father of the atomic bomb&#8221; &#8211; with regards to nuclear destruction and abuse of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Speaking on the single and music video, bassist\/vocalist Sam comments:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We were inspired not only by Sadistik Exekution&#8217;s quote, which went something like &#8220;We are become death fukk you&#8221; but also by Oppenheimer completing that statement with &#8220;&#8230;destroyer of worlds&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This is one of our slower songs with a video to melt minds and a message that clearly portrays that danger lies not just in our weapons, but in the leaders whose hands we choose to put them in. You&#8217;re all looking for someone to follow and don&#8217;t seem to give a fuck how shit that person is. You all revolt me. Buy our shit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p><p><em>My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me<\/em> is the mature effort of a band approaching the midpoint of both their career and their lives, fine-tuning audio violence and desperate to leave nothing on the table before the hormones fade and dementia kicks in. Opener &#8220;Under The Ground&#8221; is an apoplectic death metal middle finger to the genre and all involved within it. Title track &#8220;My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me&#8221; demonstrates that the band have absolutely no intention of slowing down at all, while &#8220;Destroyer Of Worlds&#8221; is a slow creepfest that makes a lie of the previous sentence. Elsewhere, songs like &#8220;Brace For Impact&#8221; and &#8220;Neanderhell&#8221; demonstrate that Werewolves are only getting more rabid with age &#8211; the BPM is appropriately crazed Werewolves fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p><p>Mixing and mastering was handled, as always, by <strong>Joe Haley<\/strong> (Psycroptic), and the artwork is a remarkable simulacrum of modern social media discourse by long time collaborator <strong>Mitchell Nolte<\/strong>, and depicts two frenzied opposing groups of people massacring each other and themselves in a screaming horrified rage.<\/p> \n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WEREWOLVES - DESTROYER OF WORLDS (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FWkqIK4pfTA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian death metal trio WEREWOLVES have dropped a new single and music video, titled &#8220;Destroyer&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102818,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=102815"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":102819,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102815\/revisions\/102819"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/102818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=102815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=102815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=102815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
