Make Them Suffer frontman Sean Harmanis commented: ‘Mana God‘ is a song about control. The control that the media can have over our thoughts and views. The control that religious organisations can have over people’s lives. The level of control that governments are able to enforce and most importantly the control that we are often held under by our own technological devices and their algorithms.
Most people today would know at least one or many who have been driven to the brink of madness by the echo chamber of their phone or computer. I notice many of these people being shunned, ostracised from their communities and held prisoner by their own confirmation bias, force-fed to them through their phones. I don’t see the people as the issue, rather the devices, for the breakdown of human connection.
‘Mana God,’ to me, is a call to action, to break away from the current systems of control and return to a space where communication and human connection are nurtured and encouraged.
