Metalcore band Ligature Marks is back with a vengeance, releasing their latest single “Pray and Suffocate” along with a powerful music video. This track marks another milestone for the Portland-based band, known for their intense sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Watch the video for “Pray and Suffocate” below.
“Pray and Suffocate” is a sonic journey that dives deep into the dark recesses of faith and deception. Vocalist Benjamin Charles delivers a chilling message about the dangers of blind allegiance and the false promises of self-proclaimed saviors.
“May this song provide a soundtrack to your apocalypse,” Charles states. “Now more than ever, it’s important to be suspicious of the false pledges of sacrifice and nobility. Charlatans and thieves make empty promises to build legions of blind allegiance. This song takes a long look at that kind of predatory saviorism. Sometimes that unwavering faith can be the veil that keeps us in the dark, and sometimes you have to be willing to burn it down then walk away. It’s time to press the fucking ‘play’ button.”
The accompanying music video adds a visual narrative to the song’s raw power, amplifying its message through striking imagery and intense performance scenes. Directed by [Director’s Name], the video is a visceral experience that matches the band’s ferocious energy and lyrical depth.
Ligature Marks continues to push boundaries in the metalcore genre with their innovative sound and uncompromising artistic vision. “Pray and Suffocate” is a testament to their commitment to exploring complex themes and delivering music that resonates with their audience on a profound level.
