The Armed have released a new video for the song “An Iteration“, featuring a voice-over and cameo from one of the most recognized voices in video game history, David Hayter – the legendary voice behind Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series. The song is taken from the band’s upcoming album, ULTRAPOP, available April 16th via Sargent House.

Dan Greene states: “The story of Metal Gear Solid 2–which seemed like convoluted, impenetrable nonsense when we were kids–has turned out to be disturbingly prescient of society in 2021. I would argue that this video game raised more interesting artistic and philosophical questions than a lot of “higher art,” and much earlier too. We are beyond honored to see David Hayter take on the role of Dan Greene within The Armed Cinematic Universe.”
