Birmingham, Alabama based Doom Rock band EMBR has shared the official lyric video for Depeche Mode cover “Corrupt” taken from their new self-titled album, out on December 08, 2023 via Black Doomba Records. Watch the video through the youTube player below:
“Corrupt” comes from Depeche Mode’s twelfth studio album, “Sounds Of The Universe,” released in April 2009 on Mute Records.
Since EMBR’s debut album “1823” we have gone through 3 years of endless noise, unrest, dissonance, inconsistencies, and confusion. Lies, half-truths, cover-ups, distortion, and destruction have soaked in almost every crack of society leading to mass disorientation. Red herrings and strawmen have been embraced as the use of logic and rationale have been ignored. We have witnessed the sacrifice of free-thought and sovereignty at the altar of conformity. We have watched truth and critical thinking morph into simple talking points. EMBR have used this cultural chaos and current condition as fuel for this sophomore effort.
