about

The Outsider is back with a new single named "Suicide is Progress", taken from the yet-to-be-announced second album, it features a guest appearence by the acclaimed norwegian musician Jørgen Munkeby (SHINING, collaborator with IHSAHN and live keybordist in EMPEROR among others), who puts his trademark saxophone sound on the track. For months it's been spoken about the musical evolution in the project and "Suicide is Progress" perfectly represents this change, with a sound that moves away from the symphonic metal and gets close to the experimentation and avant-garde sound, with musical elements such as synths and jazz, also moving away from the cosmic horror lyrics, but keeping its trademark dark sound, the orchestra and the Middle East influences are still there for the rest of the album, but this new single displays The Outsider's evolution and challenges everyone's ear, because it will be that way henceforth.
This new song represents evolution, experimentation, avant-garde but also madness, lunacy, alienation and of course, HORROR.

lyrics

LYRICS

God bless my revolutionary vision
I have found a way to make this a better world
I will take you with me brothers and sisters
My congregation, remember my word
God bless my progressive mission
Radical action, a protest and complain
'Cause we don't like to live under this conditions
Our departure will not be in vain

-
In the name of revolution
If you are sick of this unfair reality
I may be your mentor
I call for a gathering

In the name of progress
If you are sick of this sad world
Give our children the poison
You can trust my divine word

-
God bless my obsession with death
I have lernt that life is only a phase
This cruel existence is not peace
But I have found a cure for this disease

God bless my twisted beliefs
Megalomaniac I turned out to be
So good that people are easy to convince
Name a God and they will follow your speech
