Ecce Homo, Latin for "Behold the man," originates from the Gospel of John (19:5), where Pontius Pilate presents a battered Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. The phrase has come to symbolize both Christ's innocence and his suffering, making it a recurring motif in Christian art, often depicting his humanity and torment. Beyond religious circles, Friedrich Nietzsche reinterpreted Ecce Homo in his autobiographical work, using it to examine individuality, the rejection of societal norms, and the critique of Christian morality. Today, the phrase has transcended its origins, serving as a powerful symbol of human frailty, sacrifice, and endurance across various intellectual and artistic domains, where it continues to provoke questions about morality and suffering in an increasingly fractured world. Its resonance remains, not just in theology, but as a lens through which we examine the complexities of existence, power, and vulnerability.

Gavin Friday's ‘Ecce Homo’ impresses with powerful synth sounds, rocky vocals and profound lyrics. A dark wave track full of suspense.
