Industrial band, FLEISCHKRIEG has unleashed their new single & video, ‘Eve’.
The song ‘Eve’ is based on the Gnostic tradition of Adam’s wife being the hero in the Genesis creation myth – rather than the villain. This second century Christian sect revered Eve as an early incarnation of the Divine Feminine, and if it weren’t for her courage to commit “original sin” – we’d still be trapped in a genetics lab known as the Garden of Eden.
The song is sung from Adam’s point of view – he praises Eve for delivering them from the tyranny of the Elohim. Though they are “thrown out the gilded cage”, Adam asks Eve to “make the thorns our home”, a poetic nod to human resilience in the face of catastrophe.
iItalian scholar Mauro Biglino and his research on the Biblical Apocrypha inspired the song’s themes and lyrical content. Mauro briefly translated for the Vatican – but was eventually fired when his published works revealed modern Christian theology was incompatible with the written texts of ancient Hebrew authors.
The song was produced, mixed, and mastered by Logan Mader (Machine Head, Once Human).
