‘Holy Annihilation’ is a song recorded by multi-platinum girl band ElectroDeath. It’s the first single of their forthcoming album entitled ‘Bittersweet’ set to be released next May 1st published by E-Records. The song represents the comeback of the band which passed by a departure phase last year with their former brunette singer Julia left the band by the end of their last worldwide tour.
The song was produced by promising underground DJ mISTER_b, discovered by the girls while he was playing in some Night Club on New York. He is best known for his work with dubstep, something ElectroDeath worked before on their third album ‘Wrong!’.
This song is probably the most electronic hardcore song that has been released recently, maybe the girls wanted to get out of that pop aspect they have been bearing since they released their second album. Now we can say that if ElectroDeath wanted to become electronic artists they finally made it. Another great thing is the lyrics of the song, which are clearly a critic to religions in the world that try to force people to follow rules in name of God and most of these religions are against several social behaves such as homosexuality, and even are against other religions.
For such a while ElectroDeath were writing soft lyrics, maybe to make their songs more mainstream accepted, but with this new track they did now want that! I bet this song will be banished in several countries around Africa and Asia.
Song DescriptionThe song starts with an electric drum sequence plus a piano house beat, with the addition of some special effects such as echoes and auto-tune. Seconds after the introduction over the same song structure Magie starts to sing the first lines of the song, which keeps going normally with a subtle adding of bass. When the song reaches its pre –chorus, the drums change to switch from the first strophe of the song to the chorus of it, during the pre-chorus the piano melody becomes higher than it was, and the drums stopped, a new electronic effect which can be compared to a church choir, Lilly sings the pre – chorus.
The chorus is softer than the first strophe of the song, it is basically the pre –chorus melodies plus a strong dubstep beat, which we can clearly hear that industrial bass and drum sequence and it goes growing and growing becoming louder, in a level that depending on the volume you’re listening to it, probably it will heart your eardrums.
After the chorus the song enters in its hock dubstep melody break. mISTER_b scream with a guttural voice the phrase ‘HANDLE THIS’ and so he shows all his crazy dubstep mix which you can hear the use of bass, a fast drum sequence and several industrial sounds, at some point some electro – house elements are used to make the song cooler and more approachable to the listeners ears, because all of it is very intense and hardcore.
Soon after the first hock, the song goes back to the pre-chorus melody which it was before, when again the girls sing together the final lines of the song, with not much alteration form what you have heard before in this song except that the guttural phrase which was screamed before for the mISTER_b break dance, now is sung by the girls loud and terrifying.
This last break dance is just like the last one, but it is faster due to the drums which by the way are heavily influenced by electro-house elements if not sampled by ElectroDeath past songs. As this break dance ends up, the song goes back to its first introduction melody, where it goes slowing down till only that echo effect last to vanish and ends the song.
Magie CommentsFirst I have to tell you that meeting mISTER_b was the best thing that happened for us a couple of months ago. Because until that day we had completely no idea of what to do with this album, we were even thinking about hire people to write song for us, because we were so out of inspiration. SoI told Lilly that we needed to find what was going on with the underground scene of dance music around the world. I don’t know man, but people say that sometimes things are written and in this case I can believed on that, because we started out going on clubs in New York and right in the first night we hang out, we found mISTER_b. He was so crazy playing that dubstep, so loud that even if you didn’t want to drink anything on that club you probably would be climbing a table of a chair to dance, because those beats were INSANE!
We had found our producer! And our creative and inspiration was back! This song was meant to be the way it is, wild, aggressive and sometimes annoying, we wanted this, we wanted to come back to where we started, to talk about things that people are not used to talk, things that bother people around the world, religion for example it’s one these things. We always felt sick of people trying to take advantage over others using stupid allegations of some sort of a book or story that say if you do this or that you’ll go to hell. I’m not saying that you can kill or offend someone else, I mean we’re smart people we know that we don’t leave alone and that our freedom ends when someone else’s freedom starts, what I’m trying to say with this song is that it’s not wrong to be someone you like to be, like gay, or witch or whatever you want to do with your life, you’re not going to hell for that, you’re not going to heel just because you fucked before you wedding, or because you smoke cigarettes or because you don’t give your money to a religion institution. Well that just me saying though, you believe in what you want to believe and after all our songs are made for people to have fun and dance. I’m proud of this one!
Release Details.The song is available worldely on iTunes, Amazon.com or on E-Records official website.

He might not listen to
If you pray
He might not suit you
You think you gain
But you have lost the truthNothing will be like it was before
Cause you keep on asking him moreYou play the game
But you don’t know the rules
You act safe
To keep your heart pureNothing will be like it was before
Cause all you thought was true isn't anymorePray for your sins
If you think you’ll find salvation
But soon you’ll see
Everything written is for annihilationHANDLE THIS!
Pray for your sins
