Videos for a Lazy Sunday: Virus Syndicate’s ‘Psychopath’
The video for UK Grime act Virus Syndicate‘s ‘Psychopath’ was recently censored by the French government following the Paris terrorist attacks.
The video’s hard-hitting visual were deemed “war propaganda” and too controversial for the current climate in the country. ‘Psychopath’,taken from Virus Syndicate’s forthcoming album Symptomatic, looks at the darker aspects of today’s society.
“We wanted to flip things up a bit here and record a song that not only makes you want to snap your neck to the snare and chest shattering bass line, but also get inside your mind and make you think. We make music to paint pictures of reality. “Psychopath” is just that. Every image used in the visual is real! We are not trying to glorify and promote all the negative sh*t that goes in this world but we are trying to build an awareness beyond what we are fed in the media.”
“Reality is brutal and often hard to watch or hear as are some of the images in the video and lyrics in the song. We wanted to make a piece of music that hits you hard but it is also a realistic reflection of today’s society. Psychopath is about showing you the darkest dirtiest and most horrific side of life but we do this only demonstrate contrast, for every negative there is a positive,” Virus Syndicate’s Nikhil ‘Nika D’ Nagarkar said in a statement.
Symptomatic is due out in 2016, release date TBA.
