Colonial War 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Colonial war Permanent security population demonized Bombs dropped on civilians 10,000 children dead Colonizer hordes attack The only so called “democracy” is a settler colony. It must be destroyed The nakba must end It must end They must return They must return The suffering of the jews does not justify the suffering of palestinians The persecution of the jews does not justify the persecution of palestinians Death to antisemitism Death to islamophobia Death to colonialism Famine and disease on the horizon Man made catastrophe The United Nations is unable The United States is unwilling BDS, third intifada, decolonization, national liberation!

Precipitate Decline 03:49
lyrics

The destruction of ww2 paved the way for its rise Command of the world-market Divided the world with the soviet union The cold war was an ideological tool to mobilize those under the command of both sides The last hegemon, it got its way 95% of the time But the world-market shifted American imperialism defeated in Vietnam Draft abolished Vietnam syndrome The neoconservatives turned to machismo Looking to restore American power through global intimidation. Murderous never ending middle east wars No US goals were achieved, just regional destabilization. The biggest military in the world can’t stall the decline. The end of the last hegemonic cycle. Crashed eagle. There will not be another hegemon of the capitalist world-system.

BLM 03:59
lyrics

The police commit murder. The conservatives engage in apologia. The democratic party feigns support, but balks at defund the police. The United States police force was created as slave patrols. Urban warfare weaponized against civilians during the drug war. There is no justice and no peace, so fuck the police. Righteous rage leads to police stations ablaze. Pigs respond with violence against journalists. The president clears the way by force to pose with the book of lies. Raze the United States to the ground. Abolish the police. We will get justice. The police don’t protect you. They kill innocent people. We must live without them. Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.

The Empire of Capital 06:46
lyrics
buy track
SU dissolves Nomenklatura/mafiosi ruling class transforms into an oligarchic elite. Russia's world status severely declines. Western institutions pilfer East Europe. Ukraine endures decades of austerity and corruption. Dominated by Russia and the EU. Putin makes a murderous calculation. War begins. NATO and Russia kill innocent people for their geopolitical objectives. Sanctions induce world-wide crisis. The third world suffers as always. 3 years on, the war stagnates.

Structural Crisis 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Capitalism started in Europe 500 years ago. Like all social systems it came into being and will go out of being. The crisis of overproduction in 1971 brought on a decline of real production. Financialization spreads to make up for lost growth. Social safety nets annihilated and organized labor brought to its knees. The ‘socialist world’ disintegrates. Times of uncertainty. Pandemics. Financial busts Ethnic violence. Centrist liberalism dethroned, rise of the populist far-right in the wake of the bankruptcy of neoliberalism. Rise of the horizontalist left through the world-social social forum and the Zapatista movement. The left fragments back into old debates between horizontalism and verticalism. Bifurcation of the social order. Intrinsic unpredictability. Humanity decides not if capitalism will be replaced, but by what.

about

This album is the debut of one women RABM project Weltgeist. It is a concept album based around the hypothesis of social scientist Immanuel Wallerstein that capitalism is experiencing a terminal crisis which will end with capitalism's demise sometime within the next 5 decades. It contains tracks dedicated to symptoms of that crisis such as Israel's assault on Gaza, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the black lives matter movement against police brutality, as well as America's geopolitical decline. The title track explores capitalism's structural crisis and the instrumental ending track is designed to capture the feeling of the long road ahead to ensuring capitalism is replaced with something better. The album's sound is straight up battlefield black metal, every track designed to convey the feeling of social conflict as well as act as a good soundtrack for wondering in nature. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to help Gazans. The album is digitally released for now, if any labels are interested in publishing physical releases do not hesitate to contact. The same goes for any artists interested in splits.
