The Entropic Queen is the new music video and single from Italian symphonic death metal masters, Genus Ordinis Dei. The single was just released worldwide a couple of days ago, and it is the latest since the release of their critically acclaimed full-length album and metal music video series Glare of Deliverance.

The Entropic Queen was produced by Tommy Monticelli at Sonitus Studio during the after-effects of the band’s infection with the Covid-19 virus. The song tells a story about the pandemic, but from the virus’s perspective, which is represented as an entropic queen who, invaded by the continuous expansion of man, reacts and responds to the attack, with her army of spike-carrying soldiers.

The whole song is a great allegory that narrates the attack on the cell by the virus as if it were the assault of a castle.

The single features cover art by Tom Roberts.
