LISTEN: Enter Shikari surprise release God-bashing song 'Hoodwinker'
It's thunderous stuff
Ensuring your week well and truly kicks off with a bang, Enter Shikari have released a thunderously heavy new song called ‘Hoodwinker’.
Angry and urgent, the phenomenal standalone track also packs a potent lyrical punch – it denounces gods and religion.
Singer Rou Reynolds says: "Every now and then, outside of album releases and their attendant campaigns, it's nice to release a song into the wild, out-of-the-blue. To bowl it full force at the faces of the general public without prior warning.
"Hoodwinker is Enter Shikari angrily calling out your God as an imposter. Which I'm afraid he is. I know you thought all the others were imposters and yours was in fact the real one, but I'm afraid he is a phoney too.
"We have clear evidence of false paperwork and forged documents. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Please enjoy this piece of angry music though. I hope its frustration and righteous indignation will go some way to dampening the annoying news.”
The song comes with a video of Rou, Rob, Rory and Chris performing the blistering song aboard a boat. Watch it here:
Enter Shikari release the sixth in their Bootleg Series of albums with the release of ‘Live at Alexandra Palace’ on coloured vinyl double LP, double CD and as a digital download on November 11th.
