Death/thrash outfit ESODIC have today released their striking EP De Facto De Jure. To celebrate the release, the band has shared a striking music video for the title track. This video is the final video in a series chronicling some of the political and social issues that have plagued the Middle East for decades. The new video is available HERE.
The band dives deep into the video and song, explaining: "Muammar Gaddafi, was a master manipulator who employed cunning tactics to shape narratives in his favor. He was the main inspiration for this song which mainly probes his highly skillful capability for communication, as he expertly wielded propaganda to influence public sentiment. Despite projecting an image of a democratic champion, the truth revealed a four-decades-long autocracy over Libya. Gaddafi's strategic prowess extended to sowing discord among various groups, fostering divisions that he deftly exploited for personal gain. Unrivaled in power and politics, he spared no effort to secure and perpetuate his hold on authority."
"The picture Gaddafi painted of himself and the way the people rose up to take him down was a full circle. How he deceitfully came to power, and guarding borders between Europe and Africa that, with his demise, sent many radicals migrating into Europe."
