The band shares the story behind the single:

“This story is totally terrifying: you wake up, go out, and discover that everyone is wearing a Jesus mask. His gaze pierces you deeply, transmiƫng a strange and oppressive feeling. It becomes even more suffocating when you look in the mirror and see that you are also wearing the mask. In a world where identity disintegrates under the weight of imposed doctrine, the fear of conformity is a struggle between imposed faith and one’s own identity.”

“Jesus Complex” explores themes of religious manipulation and spiritual corruption. The track combines Ophiolatry‘s signature technical brutality with a newfound emphasis on tribal rhythms and atmospheric elements that showcase the band’s evolution since their acclaimed 2008 release “Transmutation”.

The creation of both the song and video emerged from a deeply personal creative process for the band. The release of “Jesus Complex” marks the next chapter in what the band describes as ‘a communion between sound and image’, with each element of “Serpent’s Verdict” designed to function as part of a larger ritualistic experience. Fans of Death, Deicide, and Cryptopsy are encouraged to immerse themselves in this initial offering while anticipating the full album’s release in June.
