Better Life

Copenhagen metal act shares debut single
Mirror Opinions

Copenhagen-based avant-garde metal act Better Life releases their second single Mirror Opinions, on November 25th. The track reflects frustration, chaos, and hopelessness about the climate crisis and the lack of political action.Mirror Opinions leads the listener down a narrow one-way route of noise, speed, and frustration over the world leaders’ hesitance in making necessary decisions. The road ultimately ends in a breakdown of anger and hopelessness for the future.“When there's an election, all the parties have green-minded goals and promises that could benefit the world in the long term.
They mirror the public's opinions on how we need to act, but once elected, it seems more important to save the farming industry right now than fixing the coming global catastrophes.This just leaves me in a place of hopelessness for the future and distrust to our leaders.”
- Simon Hiemstra, Guitarist & VocalistMirror Opinions is a repetitive and brutal noise-rock track inspired by the raw power of hardcore, combining harmonic simplicity with skin-vibrating percussive complexity. Insistent one-chord guitars and repetitive drums reflect a growing rage, while the chaos-to-breakdown structure mirrors the frustration of political inaction.
Mirror Opinions is being released on November 25th and is the second single from Better Life's self-titled debut album, out via Copenhagen-based labels Over The Under (vinyl) and Happy Metal Records (digital) on February 26th.
