Jan. 26 — Independent rock duo 2 Shadows recently unveiled its latest single.
The duo — Glen Bridden (lead vocals) and Tryst Germaine (guitars) — debuted its new single, ‘Mad God,’ Jan. 18. The song’s premiere came more than two months after the premiere of its then latest single, ‘Marionette‘ and the song’s companion video. The duo recorded that single with its friends in The Veer Union.
The pair released its new single through Rock Shop Records, which is also home to The Veer Union. To that end, the heavy, melodic hard rock approach that 2 Shadows took to its new single should come as no surprise, as it is very similar in sound and style to works from The Veer Union.
In regard to the song’s lyrical theme, Bridden said in a prepared statement, it was influenced by a movie the pair had watched.
“When Tryst and I wrote the song Mad God we were inspired by the Phil Tippett film with the same name,” Bridden said. “We were blown away by the apocalyptic dystopian setting and the delivery of the horror elements in the movie and it got us excited to try exploring those vibes musically. Our song “Mad God” ended up being the easiest and most fluid song to write and we didn’t make many changes after the first demo.”
He continued, ““When it came to the lyrics of the song I focused on the dissonance visible in everyday urban life, like how lonely you can feel in a densely populated area and how common it is for people to numb themselves with prescription drugs and the like. It would seem people feel more comfortable ‘under an influence’ and that’s where the lyric “overdosed on sanity” comes from and where the dystopian horror begins to show itself and come full circle.”
