New Jersey death grinders Ground is here to kick your ass right into next year with their new single "Tastemaker." Clocking in at less than 90 seconds, "Tastemaker" comes in like a hurricane made exclusively of bricks and fucks your entire situation up. Lyrically, Ground takes on modern social media and how it's pretty much all fake nonsense to make you think everyone's lives are awesome.
"'Tastemaker' is about social media and the negative effect it has on people's self-image/view of reality," said vocalist Phil Parenti of the single. "All the major social media platforms are flush with images of people's 'lives' that are rarely reflective of what’s really going on in their day to day. Social media is not real life and it’s important to remind yourself not to compare your life to someone else’s highlight reel."
Ground will release their new record Habitual Self-Abuse on October 28. Pre-orders are available here through Hibernation Release and here on Bandcamp.
