The single was released on January 13th, at 3PM, GMT, on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, iTunes), together with it's music video.[3] This is the first single from the upcoming album.
The song reached number 1 at the Official Charts Company's rock and metal charts, 13 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay charts, and it reached the peak position of number 56 on the Official Charts Company's general singles charts.[4] Additionally, it peaked at number 2 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart.[5]
Cover Art
The creator of the cover art is still unknown, but the aesthetic is very reminiscent of English alternative metal band Sleep Token. The album monogram, "WOTP", made its first appearance on this artwork. The monogram logo also makes subtle appearances throughout the music video itself, being on costumes and appearing as a car emblem, and also makes appearances throughout the entire album release process, including the Compliance promotional photos and the presumed album artwork.
Similar to the blacked-out eyes during the Drones promotional being turned into a filter for Snapchat, the mask of the cult leader, which appears on the cover has been made into an Instagram filter, released on January 9th.[6]
