Italian Deathcore titans, The Modern Age Slavery, have released new single, "The War Within," the second single from forthcoming EP, 1969 | No One Jokes at God. The EP is the second of a release trilogy (more on that below).
The official video for "The War Within" is available at: youtu.be/RmbwP5iHjOY.
The song is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal.
The phrases that best summarise "The War Within," in their simplicity, are 'we are not that evil, in the end' and 'it’s always darkest, before the dawn.' The song talks about an encounter between generations and the
forgiveness of the new generation towards the old one. It recalls the concept of the band's second album Requiem For Us All, though allowing for a new dawn and forgiveness for the past mistakes.
The story begins 2022 when The Modern Age Slavery embarked on an new exciting adventure, a trilogy of pieces of art in the death-metal scenario. The band idea is to portray human self-imposed slavery along three different eras in men’s history. Indeed, 2023 album, 1901 | The First Mother released via Fireflash Records / Atomic Fire - represented the very first chapter of the trilogy. The album concept was inspired by writers and philosophers belonging to the so-called “modern age,” 1901 being the year in which Queen Victoria
passed away.
That brings us to the second chapter of the trilogy, 1969 | No One Jokes at God, recalling the symbolic beginning of the hipster culture at Woodstock and the rapid switch of equality ideals to the actual worldwide decay that has inevitably followed.
The EP was produced by The Modern Age Slavery with engineering duties undertaken by the band’s guitar player, Luca Cocconi, along with Simone Sighinolfi (who took care also of mixing and mastering at Audiocore Studio, near Parma, Italy).
The 1969 | No One Jokes at God EP is targeted for a Fall 2026 release.
