This band knows how to create a groove or rhythm. Too many bands forget metal and rock is supposed to be fun and something you can headbang too.

This song continues the spirit of the last album so well, I hope you got more of that kind for us, I love it! And if that is the kind of music you really wanted to make all along, great, keep it up! I recently listened to all of your album, it was quite a journey but today you're the best you ever were. Also saw you guys live last saturday in Mainz, it was just a little confusing with your guest singer. Great show though and all the best to Andreas!

[@khazixthevoidreaver9499]

Great song! can someone explain to me exactly what the lyrics are mean? By the Footage and the lyrics i can understand they mean to say not everything is perfect in scandinavian countries unlike the impression many have from afar, so as a person who doesn't know much abount scandinavian countries what's wrong with the "scandinavian dream"?

[@helicopter234]

Well... mass immigration like everywhere in europe currently would be my guess? Sweden in particular is hit pretty hard. "Working 9 to 5 just to barely getting by... When its the world we´re saving (right?). We got the cure and its for everyone. Everything is free and we got everything you need. The hole in your purse is raving, but baybe its okay and it´s good cause youre saving the world." I mean, that should make it quite clear what this song is about, right?

[@juan8120]

😓 "PromoSM"

[@Racald]

As much as I enjoy the song I cant figure out how I’m meant to interpret the message. A good system thats not perfect, where most stick to hard rutine trying to be morally good and responsible when so many elsewhere dont even bother? And that PC curveball felt a bit odd, I guess being sensitive and empathetic to others struggles is s bad thing? As I said I enjoyed the music but the message is so muddy it just feels like you’re complaining for the sake of wanting a song with a rebellious/anti-authoritarian feel to it that just ends up feeling hollow as hell instead

[@commissarluke2898]

I feel the same way, everyone I show this to joke about it being swedish propaganda but I get confused when trying to understand the lyrics "would you be so kind and step into the line and get with the program at once." Maybe the song is trying to pander to multiple political views?

[@onerevenant1211]

I think it's a criticism of the authoritarian attitude to solving all problems in society, which is what the scandinavian "welfare" system is based on. This system reduces extreme poverty, but at the same time the individual loses his freedom as almost everything must be done through some government program ("get with the program at once"), and it becomes increasingly expensive on the tax payers until they can't afford to live ("the hole in your wallet is raving"). If you read what's been happening in nordic countries in the recent years, it's exactly this. The PC thing is probably referring to the people who were prosecuted for "hate speech" after they criticised some government policies, although the lyric is a bit confusing so I'm not sure.

[@violet_green4335]

For me it's about mass migration. Sweden is becoming third world country by influx of immigrants who aren't expected to do the basis. There is a huge crime raise including violence towards women, no-go zones, army need to help the police, gang shootings, bombings, currently immigration crisis in Sweden is escalating towards Denmark and there are rumors that border will be shut down. Sweden is one of the most unsafe countries in Europe currently. That country was one of the most safest in Europe and now it's the grape capital city. Great achievement! Yet those people at least until recently had the audacity to preach to the others, especially when they've considered them as lower e.g. Eastern Europeans who don't have such problems.
