Electronic Substance Abuse (ESA) has released the music video for the “Golden Club” edit of their track “Golden House,” which critiques the abuse of power through a hedonistic lens, drawing inspiration from infamous Roman emperors Nero and Caligula. The video features a blend of modern and historical elements, showcasing bodybuilders and engaging wrestlers, with themes of avarice and arrogance prevailing throughout. Commenting on this timeless abuse of power, ESA highlights that even centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, such behaviors persist in modern governance. The song features vocals by Massenhysterie and includes notable performers, all under the direction of ESA’s Jamie Blacker.

Given the context of power dynamics depicted in the video, how might contemporary society draw parallels between the indulgences of historical rulers and the actions of today’s leaders?
