Manchester, UK’s Chameleons have today released their new single and video, Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing, which is taken from their upcoming full length, Arctic Moon, that is due out on the 12th September via Metropolis Records. Capturing Chameleons‘ innate flair for crafting exquisite guitar textures and merging them with Vox’s tight grasp of melodicism and lyrics, Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing harbors a dark message about the current political climate amongst its thoroughly engaging sound. To further enforce its theme, the song’s accompanying video splices live performance footage with kaleidoscopic images of war, its effects, and the propaganda surrounding it, making for a very compelling statement.

“I’m particularly pleased with the way it turned out, because it was [guitarist] Stephen Rice that initially brought the rough idea to the table, and we all then collaborated on the idea to produce the final song. The melody and lyrics came to me quite quickly. They reflect what has happening globally and how senior officials could be seen lining up to kiss the ring of this clown, who seemed to regard himself more as a self-proclaimed king than an elected official. I just see too many echoes of the 1930s in what’s been going on in the world, which I personally see as being extremely dangerous both for the country I’ve chosen to live in and the Western world in general.” (vocalist & bassist Mark Burgess)
