We’ve held our tongue on HYBE’s involvement with us due to an NDA, but, due to the recent actions of Min Hee-jin, it is now unenforceable by law We’ll release a full disclosure soon. For now we’d just like to celebrate our independence with the release of our new single Charade

We’ve been in a legal battle for the last few years with a Korean music industry titan. This had prevented our autonomy, but we’re inching towards freedom thanks to our team: @everynightdawns, Blowed Out Records, and Min Hee-jin of NewJeans/ADOR Full report pending investigation

Charade has earned 13k YouTube views and 64k Spotify streams in a week. We're so grateful to our friends, new and old, for the opportunity to share violent art with you. Being DIY, we couldn't be prouder of the reception. We'd like to share our thoughts on the track with you: The recent death of monoculture as we know it has torn art and culture asunder. This new paradigm presents both unique challenges and opportunities. On one hand, never before has humanity had the depth and breadth of connectivity that our increasingly networked world can afford us. On the other hand, in our infinite search for purpose, we’ve self-segregated into islands of seemingly arbitrary but precise distinctions. Dressed in our tribal garbs, drunk off petty authority, comfortably smug in our circle jerks, posturing in our personal panopticons, we urge each other to repent at the feet of our flavor-of-the-month god. If the alternative is being “cringe” – tantamount to being banished to a lesser island or cast into the sea – surrender doesn’t really require second-guessing, but it does come at a steep cost: your self. The weak are those who recoil and shrink away from their screaming soul at the behest of the peanut gallery, only to be defanged, neutered, and lobotomized. The strong are those with the will to raze it all and the resolution to build anew atop the ashes, which we affectionately refer to as “violent art”. “Charade” is cringecore. It’s avant-garde. It’s post-post-hardcore. It’s acid jazz. It’s K-Pop. It’s prog rock. It’s an anime opening. It’s neo metal. It’s an overture heralding the arrival of a sui generis cycle. It’s a bridge that we’ve built across a few of those aforementioned islands. The postmodern condition has relegated Sincerity, Love, and Beauty to vestiges of a bygone era, and, in their stead, Cynicism, Irony, and Ugliness abound. In this profound, suffocating darkness and loneliness, this song is our proposal for a vibe shift – a bullet through the skull of Nihilism. This is our love letter to you. We love you.

The name “nu-metal” implies that its associated acts are…well…”new”. Its spirit has always been that of innovation, forward-thinking, and boundary-breaking. Anything short of this is not “nu”. It’s “old”, hollow, and sterile with a fresh coat of paint. In short: the “nu” of today does not resemble the “nu” of yesteryear, nor will it resemble the “nu” of tomorrow. Though making actual “nu metal” seems to be challenging for most self-proclaimed “nu metal” revivalists, we’ve decided to share a little bit of the sauce with @Revolvermag and @NataliesNotInIt here: l8r.it/XS74
