Marillion
Marillion share their deep reflection on human interaction in the current global situation with their most upbeat single in many years. “Murder Machines” is a song that was born in the challenging times of lockdown and social distancing and has become so much more than just a mirror of our times, more than a song that deals with the precious as well as dark sides of human relationships.
The band’s 20th studio album An Hour Before It’s Dark will be released on March 4th, 2022.
