about

LIBERATION! (Part 1)
CRIED THE RIVER TO THE SEA

The new re-incarnation of the band composed of Anté and Cem mark their first release, here and now as part of the timely soundtrack to the continuing rebellion against empire. The first of this series comes straight out of the gates choc-laden with our latest raucous electric bass and drums (which is after all what is always promised), embracing and contorting all and every genre from which it borrows and steals. We don't know exactly what it is, but like all our favourite records, it demands and works best played LOUD.

As customary, it also embodies a reflection on deeper themes of duality and the balance between order and chaos, but this time under the title and theme of "LIBERATION!"; a celebration and exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the astonishing power of hope and solidarity.
And, of course, hard-hitting riffs.

DEDICATED TO ALL OPPRESSED AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES EVERYWHERE FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHT TO LIVE IN DIGNITY, SAFETY, HEALTH AND FREEDOM.

TOGETHER LET'S CALL FOR AN END TO RACIST APARTHEID AND ILLEGAL OCCUPATIONS WORLDWIDE.

AMANDLA!
AWETHU!
