New England extreme metal powerhouse, Escuela Grind today drops the new single/video, 'Always Watching You.'
Recorded at Salem, Massachusetts' GodCity studio with producer Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Cave In), "Always Watching You" is taken from Escuela Grind's as-yet-untitled new LP, set for an autumn release via MNRK Heavy.
Watch the video for 'Always Watching You,' directed by Zack Perez for Astral Media below.
“Most of "Always Watching You" was written in a practice space by Jesse and Krissy, and refined during soundchecks we had over the year," offers Escuela Grind vocalist Katerina Economou . "I've had this desire to write a song where I could portray the obsessive-stalker-girl archetype through lyrics for a while. Although not physically threatening, it's really interesting that society is so terrified of this stereotype. In "Always Watching You", I wanted this fantastical, Nightmare on Elm Street-style imagery that was rooted in the gore and horror of death metal. Themes of parasocial relationships, anxieties from social media, and an omnipresent algorithm are strongly observed in this song and throughout the entire album."

The 'Europe & UK Domination' tour will launch in Berlin, Germany and run through May 18 in Ypres, Belgium.
