Sour Blood’s (prog/alt rock) new song offers a stark musical diagnosis of a world where comfort breeds indifference – a hymn to the apathy of modern man!

Sour Blood released new single titled »Of Animal Flesh And Inhuman Soul« together with video done by Maciej Gensler from Coś Tam Wyszło. Song is available for listening at popular streaming platforms. »Of Animal Flesh And Inhuman Soul« was mixed and mastered by Konrad Janiszewski (Heresy Denied, Stayfires, Kansha).

»Of Animal Flesh And Inhuman Soul« is a song about a person who lives unreflectively within a civilizational bubble, and in their increasingly dominant apathy drifts toward self-destruction. The way we live shares much with the existence of farm animals, while we grow ever more disconnected from nature. We could – and often even want to – question the system and the modern lifestyle built upon it more decisively, but we simply lack the will.

The trio comments new single: “Life in large cities offers comfort, technology demands little thought from us, art and culture have been overtaken by kitsch, and our herd mentality manifests itself on social media. We want to believe it’s all fine. We like thinking that way – it makes us feel better.

In the song, the lyrical subject in part criticizes others for this behavior, yet is painfully aware that they are guilty of the same ignorance and conformity. The dominant emotion is a sense of hopelessness – or perhaps even more so, disappointment in oneself, as well as in humanity as a whole. It is the realization that one is part of the problem, but in the face of its overwhelming scale, it feels easier to simply coexist with others, even as the world seems to be falling apart before our eyes.

Apathy becomes a vicious cycle – an orbit encircling our entire planet.”
