Agree with it or not, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the Occupy movement has seized the narrative in the United States (and abroad), making issues of wealth inequality, systemic corruption, and class, topics once verboten in political discourse fed to use on a daily basis, central topics of discussion concerning the current “crises.” This mix is a shout out to the people taking to the streets.
Personally, i always liked my metal flavored with the political and found bands who focused on “evil” topics like Satan, shitting in churches, and the like to be rather sophomoric (fun but hardly something to be taken seriously). You might notice that not all of these bands can technically be called “metal.” I did blur the genres here with bands who did the same. Some crossover, some hardcore, some hard rock but all of them of a similar spirit.
Don’t worry, this is not the beginning of a trend, i’ll get back to mixes focusing on praising metal. Until armageddon.
