Australian prog metal outfit As Paradise Falls have premiered an audio stream of their new single “The Ultimate Consummer”. Frontman Shaun Coar said of it:

“The song is about how people fall into destructive behaviour patterns. Particularly with the way we consume everything thru media in this day in age. A lot of people are borderline addicted to their phones and the amount of data we consume per year grows exponentially. It’s having a trickle down effect culturally and on a personal level. Literally everything needs to be at your fingertips otherwise it cannot survive. The problem is great things don’t just happen instantly.”

The song is the latest track to surface off their impending record Digital Ritual, out July 21st through Eclipse Records. The record is available for pre-order via iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
