PRESS RELEASE:
THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY Release "The War Within" Single/Video!
Reggio Emilia (IT) - Italian Deathcore titans, The Modern Age Slavery, have released new single, "The War Within," the second single from forthcoming EP, 1969 | No One Jokes at God. The EP is the second of a release trilogy (more on that below).
The official video for "The War Within" is available at: youtu.be/RmbwP5iHjOY
The song is available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal.
The phrases that best summarise "The War Within," in their simplicity, are 'we are not that evil, in the end' and 'it’s always darkest, before the dawn.' The song talks about an encounter between generations and the forgiveness of the new generation towards the old one. It recalls the concept of the band's second album Requiem For Us All, though allowing for a new dawn and forgiveness for the past mistakes.
The story begins 2022 when The Modern Age Slavery embarked on an new exciting adventure, a trilogy of pieces of art in the death-metal scenario. The band idea is to portray human self-imposed slavery along three different eras in men’s history. Indeed, 2023 album, 1901 | The First Mother released via Fireflash Records / Atomic Fire - represented the very first chapter of the trilogy. The album concept was inspired by writers and philosophers belonging to the so-called “modern age,” 1901 being the year in which Queen Victoria passed away.
That brings us to the second chapter of the trilogy, 1969 | No One Jokes at God, recalling the symbolic beginning of the hipster culture at Woodstock and the rapid switch of equality ideals to the actual worldwide decay that has inevitably followed.
The EP was produced by The Modern Age Slavery with engineering duties undertaken by the band’s guitar player, Luca Cocconi, along with Simone Sighinolfi (who took care also of mixing and mastering at Audiocore Studio, near Parma, Italy).
The 1969 | No One Jokes at God EP is targeted for a Fall 2026 release.

BIO:
Emerging amidst a sea of deathcore, Italy’s THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY separated themselves from therest with their visceral sense of the genre. Coming equipped with grinding blast beats, merciless brutal vocals and slaughtering rapid-fire double bass patterns their sound developed and became increasingly unique over time. After the release of their demo, which was chosen as “Demo of the Month” by Rock Hard Germany, they got signed to Napalm Records.
Then, thanks to significant acclaim from the metal world, THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY extensively toured across Europe both as headliners and as supporting act, along with CANNIBAL CORPSE, DYING FETUS, OBSCURA, MALEVOLENT CREATION, VOMITORY. The band also played selected shows with FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, SEPULTURA, DECAPITATED, SUICIDE SILENCEand many more.
The release of the second album -Requiem For Us All- pushed their death metal war machine one step forward, this time with a fierce mix of blazingly fast drumming, technical riffing, epic atmospheres, and crushing groove. Listed as the best metal album of the year by MetalSucks, it brought the band on tour again with bands, such as GORGOROTH, VITAL REMAINS, HYPOCRISY, plus many gigs on national soil. Their last full-length album -Stygian- represented a new chapter in the sound of the band, introducing blackmetal riffing, keyboards, atmospheres, and orchestral elements.
Owing to such efforts, the band got once again acclaimed around Europe, co-headlining shows with INGESTED and supporting VADER and ENTOMBED A.D. Before the pandemic, they shared stages with JINJER, DECAPITATED, INCITE, and they are currently hitting the road again, having played in big festivals with SLIPKNOT, SABATON, BEHEMOTH, and many more.
