Sentient Ruin reaffirms its partnership with sonic nihilists Hold Me Down in the release of Devour, an album that transcends mere music, becoming a corrosive force against the remnants of humanity. This sophomore effort melds industrial terror with the bleakness of the digital age, drawing inspiration from icons like Swans and Godflesh. The album’s chaotic soundscape dismantles identity, with lyrics that present flesh as a prison and highlight the illusion of freedom in an algorithm-driven world.
In a society increasingly defined by data and surveillance, how do you think art can serve as a form of resistance or a mirror reflecting our collective disillusionment?
