Finnish Extreme Metal outfit AGARWAEN is excited to release a new music video, after dropping the one for “Circo De La Muerte” a couple of months ago. The new offer, this time for the single “God Complex,” continues the promotion of the band’s full-length “The Murder Trend,” whose release is set on July 3rd 2026 via the new Italian label Over The Border Records.

“The Murder Trend” is a concept album descending into abuse, trauma, revenge, and inherited madness. Told as a chronological horror narrative, the album follows Anton, a boy broken by systemic cruelty, whose life spirals from neglect and violence into ritualized murder in a circus set and cult indoctrination. What begins as social tragedy evolves into something far more grotesque: a generational curse embodied through masks and a carnival of death.

Placed as #3 in the album, “God Complex” sees older school boys finding out Anton’s mom’s “profession” and wanting to have some fun with her. They promised a huge payout for her son if she would hurt herself for their fun..she accepted in order to get her son a decent life that she couldn’t provide. This is the background story for the video, in which the violence against Anton's mother will take place. Watch the video and enter the spiral of violence:

AGARWAEN’s upcoming album “The Murder Trend” will be available as a 4-panel digipak CD, including a 12-pages booklet. Pre-order your copy via the label store: https://tinyurl.com/bdemz9fr

“The Murder Trend” moves between cinematic instrumentals, relentless extreme metal, crazy combinations of different styles, and theatrical passages that underline the story’s psychological collapse. It’s groovy, it’s progressive, violent as hell and yet brings a twisted smile on your face when you listen to it.

Lyrically uncompromising and narratively explicit, “The Murder Trend” presents a bleak reflection on how victims can become monsters - and how in the modern world violent trends can spread like a contagion once given a symbol to wear.

The album was mastered by Grammy Award - winning Svante Forsbäck, produced by Emma Award–winning Teemu Aalto, and will be released on July 3rd, 2026. All lyrics and most of the music were written by founding member Anthony Hodju. Photos by Rocktografia.

AGARWAEN’s “The Murder Trend” is not just an album, it is a grotesque modern horror tale set to music.
