Prey Drive have released a lyric video for Neon God, their latest single and title-track from their upcoming EP.
“Neon God is about trying to chase a glorified lifestyle,” explains vocalist Bradley Smith. “Losing faith in your current lifestyle, finding faith in going out, getting dressed up, drinking, taking drugs, making horrible decisions just to feel alive and break away from a mundane routine. It incorporates following a certain religion or way of thinking like a cult.”
“The original song was an idea we jammed shortly after finishing our debut album, and that song is now the basis of the middle 8,” adds guitarist Steve Larke-Mejia. “The other parts are based around the chords in the middle 8 and the original song, but now they’re far more aggressive and the tapping stuff is a part I’m really proud of.” He continues, “The drumbeat was an idea of mine after hearing a lot of reggaeton music via my Colombian wife and realising beats like that were all over pop music and so it could be fun to try it in one of our songs.”
