The sound of “Full Metal Jacket” is as powerful as its message, according to the members of EPEX.
“The song came as a pleasant surprise for me,” Baekseung recalled. “I was particularly fond of its explosive sound, which made me think that we would be able to showcase a really cool performance with it.”
The “Prelude of Anxiety Chapter 2. ‘Can We Surrender?’” EP also offers three other tracks: “Surrender,” “Hit the Wall” and “No Roof.” All of them center on the theme of anxiety, zooming in on a whirlwind of emotions that a young boy feels as he grows.
“When we drop an album, we usually feature the songs with contrasting vibes,” Baekseung explained. “But this time, all four songs in our EP have similar sounds.”
Yewang added, “Nevertheless, the lyrics of ‘Surrender' are in stark contrast to those of our title track, and they are more outspoken and straightforward.”
