Spanish Thrashers HOLYCIDE have just released their
video #5 of the series of 10 lyric-videos that they plan to release to promote
their brand new album "Towards Idiocracy". This video is from the
track "Technophobia" and talks about those people who have become
obsolete and stuck in the past, not knowing how to adapt to the present and use
the excuse that it is actually because they are very trve, but then they always
have to ask for favors to have things done for them. They are functionally
useless in every rule!! The album was released in June 6th (international day
of Slayer) through Xtreem Music.
