Antisect - In Darkness, There Is No Choice

Got the CD in the mail today, and I've just listened through it once. It contains only two tracks, in other words its like an LP with A and B side, which is pretty cool. All the songs sort of melt into each other and you are forced to hear the whole album



In Darkness, There Is No Choice is good old-fashioned anarcho punk. Just a shame I'm not sitting in a smelly pub with a bunch of punks that nurture hatred against consumer society and everything else that stinks of capitalism. For there is no doubt that the lyrics are highly political and philosophical.

Here is an excerpt from the text of They (The Eternal Myth And Paradox):
Who are these people who wreak starvation and disease And who are these people who build their system based on greed Who are these people who create aggression, fear and hate And then use them as tools to keep all others in their place

We have created all greed and all hate For we are as one and do so must all take the blame We are pleading for heaven whilst accepting this hell We're asking for liberty whilst repressing ourselves We are controlled by outsiders to whom we pledge our support By our silence and acceptance we too are at fault We sit and we suffer, and worse believe it's okay 

Or as they write at the end of the booklet:
It is also a sad fact that the majority of us devote most of their time to covering up for their lack of happiness by way of surrounding themselves with material possessions.


Because we exist in an authoritian society, it is authority that sets our boundaries, and these boundaries in most cases become our physical capabilities.
