If you enjoyed this and would like to show your support, consider grabbing the EP at our Bandcamp store: Official site and merch store: Facebook: Check out our other videos: “Chosen Ruler“ paints a bleak portrait of an individual’s decent into wilful ignorance and cowardly violence. The song’s protagonist is also seen within the context of a wider societal trend: the masochistic tendency to elect leaders who ultimately punish those who mark a ballot in their favour. “A black X scrawled / For a new state of scripted control“ is the unsettling choice made within a voting booth in this song. It is a decision borne out of misguided, divisive rhetoric, and a reliance upon fear-of-the-other propaganda. These are the very same retrograde ideas that were espoused by the 45th president of the world’s second largest democracy. The very same president who has been disturbingly cited as being “the chosen one“. The song Chosen Ruler is sadly not an adaptation of dystopian fiction. It is an unflinching look at what is playing out before our very eyes. It is a cautionary tale to us all. — Vicar See the full Artist Statement at the DHI website, under the Chosen Ruler release.
