France’s groundbreaking industrial metal act Bowels of Suffering is set to leave an indelible mark on the genre with the release of their highly anticipated album, [B.o.S] 2.0, available now via Wormholedeath Records. To celebrate, the band is also unveiling the intense new video for “Deus X Makina,” a song that plunges deep into themes of identity, transformation, and the conflict between man and machine.
“Deus X Makina” is a visceral exploration of the trauma accompanying transformation. The song imagines the consciousness of a wild animal — a wolf — becoming self-aware, only to find its body altered beyond recognition with mechanical augmentations. The wolf, now the Deus X Makina, embarks on a quest for his soul, driven by a desire to reclaim his identity after his body and mind have been ravaged by change.
This powerful track delves into the psyche of a being who no longer recognizes himself in the mirror, torn between human and machine. It evokes a schizophrenic, almost maddening vision of self, leading the character to an extreme act of reclaiming his true self — ripping off his own face. This intense journey highlights the inner conflict of radical transformation, where the line between humanity and artificiality blurs into oblivion.
The song and video are a perfect representation of Bowels of Suffering’s ability to combine industrial metal with thought-provoking narratives, creating a dark, immersive world that resonates with listeners on a profound emotional level.
With their debut album, Bowels of Suffering spins a dark narrative of Gaia, the Earth’s spirit, rising in fury against humanity’s reckless greed. The album is a sonic assault—fusing eerie mechanical elements, electronic grooves, and orchestral moments—to create a soundtrack that underscores the war between cyborgs and humans. A sensory journey, [B.o.S] 2.0 offers a powerful glimpse into a world where chaos and harmony collide in the heart of an apocalyptic struggle.
