Hold Me Down’s upcoming album, Devour, set for release on September 5 via Sentient Ruin Laboratories, marks the band’s evolution into deeper industrial and metal territories. The lead single, "Living Meat," showcases corrosive rhythms and distorted vocals that explore themes of alienation and dehumanization in a digital age. This sophomore effort follows their 2022 album Powerless and the 2019 demo, with Devour conceptually addressing the inner dismantlement of humanity within an increasingly synthetic landscape.
Given the album’s focus on the impact of digitalization on human identity, how do you think our own experiences with technology shape our sense of individuality and connection in today’s society?
