Harker - "The Beast Must Die" (Official Music Video) https://youtu.be/5PlPvF_7uOk

The track appears on the band's upcoming LP "Axiom" out April 23rd on Wiretap Records, Disconnect Disconnect Records, Shield Recordings, Fixing A Whole Records. 

"The Beast Must Die' is based on the idea of 'Mono-consciousness' by English writer Colin Wilson – as a philosopher, Wilsons writing was heavily focused on striving to live with a heightened sense of meaning and avoiding a closed mindset. This track is a study of characters with a lack of empathy and spirituality, in the end leading to apathy for existence. 'Mono-consciousness' is a beast that lurks inside, and needs to be hunted before it takes control of of us."- Mark Boniface (singer/guitarist)
