Dutch symphonic death metal formation MAYAN have released the first song from their new album, Antagonise, due out on January 31st via Nuclear Blast. Check out 'Faceless Spies ~ National Security Extremism Part 2' below.

Mark Jansen comments: “'Faceless Spies' is the last track on the album and deals about governments spying on their people, not only for safety reasons but also in order to control them. It's about the current state of the world in which a small group of elites have all the power and try to dominate humanity. The tension is rising and the outcome yet unknown.”

Antagonise release parties include:

30 - Mezz - Breda, Netherlands (with The New Dominion)
31 - Tivoli de Helling - Utrecht, Netherlands (with Izegrim)
