lyrics
cajoled by theories
designed to enthrall
simple semantics that bury cognition
stained checkered table cloths
and leather bound dishonesty
teaching our children so they’re able to loath
castrated eager minds
capable of such depth
installing prejudice against nature
taking the rights of women
to make their own choice
usurping our right to govern [ourselves]
without hateful belief
rejecting the learned teachings
of the most important minds
Traditions that stifle
oppress and control
axioms vile subjugation of truth
Born into patrimony
to marry and propagate
tethered and subservient without hope of escape
Cultural and religious norms include and condone forced marriage, institutionalised rape, beatings and murder, incest, honour killing and wounding, genital mutilation, the taking of all rights from women, homosexuals hanged for who they love, torture, religiously motivated murder..the list is endless. How have we come to this? What motivates societies to allow such things to occur? and perhaps what is worse, we justify and allow such things to continue because we are told to respect “cultural practices?” If we consider ourselves equal, and civilised, then we have equal right to condemn and end such acts.
Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma
"Rather than just being a gimmick, the cello is used to great affect here as it provides a soulful melody to counter the chaotic aggression going on around it. In that sense it reminds me of Dead To A Dying World, which is never a bad thing."

Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2016
Wow. I did not expect violin and cello from a crust band.
Wow. I did not expect crust from a band that has both a violinist and a cellist.
