Morals & Dogma by Anoxide
Known for their complex song structures and thought-provoking lyrics, Anoxide are back at last to challenge their listeners to delve deep into themes of societal decay, misinformation, and human folly. 'Morals and Dogma' is a relentless onslaught of aggression that combines intricate guitar riffs, pounding drums, and guttural vocals with occasional clean, haunting passages to create a dynamic and immersive sound. The band don't like to be limited by any one subgenre but fans of Gojira, Opeth and Meshuggah will feel right at home.
Lyrics and Themes:
Simulacrum: Explores the construction of identity in a media-saturated world, and the influence of misinformation and the effect of marketing and divisive media.
Tear Down Their Citadels: About the inescapable cycles of systemic corruption within society.
Age of Austerity: A grim portrayal of socio-economic disparity and the devastating effects of neoliberal policies on the working class and marginalized communities.
The Ceaseless March: Describes a dystopian future where humanity is reduced to a nomadic existence, scavenging for survival under oppressive control, of inequality and resistance to subjugation.
An Old Foe Emerges: Depicts the resurgence of far right ideologies and the cyclical nature of human conflict.
These Walls Shall Crumble: Reflects on the inevitable decline of empires due to resource exploitation and societal neglect.
The Weighing of the Scales: An instrumental track,.
To Starve in Decadence: A lamentation on humanity’s inherent brutality and the perpetual cycle of suffering and inequality.
