The latest single and nearly title track from Cyanide, the upcoming album by Swiss noise rock band Asbest, is Cyanide For Breakfast. The new song exudes a great deal of solemnity and grit, much the same as the band's recent singles, Autodigestion, Hubris, and Dystopium.
Asbest comment on the new track: "In Cyanide for Breakfast we tried to explore the connection between the requirements of a pathological society and mental health. We feel that an increasing amount of people need to ingest a cocktail of psychotropic drugs to survive everyday life. While we advocate people getting the help they need we feel that this development is treating the symptoms rather than the cause. An while we do not want to encourage suicide in any way we believe that fatalistically accepting the harmful status quo is also a way of giving up and denying yourself a life that is worth living."
Cyanide will be out on May 19th, 2023.
