nice review from powermetal.de If you like a mix of #powermetal and #thrashmetal with a dash of #nwobhm and enjoy progressive, politically charged lyrics you should check out our album "Consent to Deception". Especially the last song "Dark Sacrifice"

This song is a #heavymetal dystopian mini opera with a partly Italian choir introduction. The story is an Orwell influenced fable about divide and conquer inspired by…well can you figure it out? L’orgolio prima della caduta: The Pride Before the Fall

When a certain type of metal "fan" complains about "Politics in Metal!" (often after doing apologism or gaslighting for some NSBM band 🤔), I reach for my favourite bands, many of the 80s and 90s, who are unrepentantly POLITICAL. And that's what makes them awesome. What makes them metal.🤘 #metalsky

We nearly left this song off the album because it didn’t really fit. A song about historic ethnic cleansing, sadly still very relevant today. Verse 2 has a shoutout to the Choctaw, who despite having been forced from their homes still managed to sent money to the Irish during the famine #heavymetal

In episode one, space explorers find an artifact that leads them to a dead, burnt planet where the civilisation has been wiped out. They resurrect the ascendant species (humans) who end up driving the aliens away. Still curious about what happened they go back in time… #musicsky #heavymetal

Israel has killed nine paramedics in just 72 hours in southern Lebanon and it’s business as usual. Now imagine the outrage if that was nine Israeli paramedics. The entire world would be screaming and condemning it as terrorism.
