Ligature Marks Premiere "Pray and Suffocate"

Portland's LIGATURE MARKS has released a brand new single "Pray and Suffocate" and its accompanying Karl Whinnnery-directed music video. The video is the latest visceral experience from the band who regularly serve up high-quality visuals.

"May this song provide a soundtrack to your apocalypse," says vocalist Benjamin Charles. "Now more than ever, it’s important to be suspicious of the false pledges of sacrifice and nobility. Charlatans and thieves make empty promises to build legions of blind allegiance. This song takes a long look at that kind of predatory saviorism. Sometimes that unwavering faith can be the veil that keeps us in the dark, and sometimes you have to be willing to burn it down then walk away. It’s time to press the fucking 'play' button."
