Ett Dödens Maskineri Stream New Track "Vapen och Ammunition"
Swedish hardcore punk pioneers Ett Dödens Maskineri today share another track from their second album ”Kulturkriget” (The Culture War), which is scheduled to be released on vinyl and digital on November 28 via Suicide Records.
Titled "Vapen och Ammunition", this new track is now playing at Decibel Magazine, who had this to say about the full album "The band’s second album, Kulturkriget (translation ‘The Culture War’) tackles the various battlegrounds society finds itself killing itself on to the tune of some absolutely slamming, metal-infused ‘kångpunk.’"
The band had this to say about this new track “Armament, exports of weapons to dictatorships, forthcoming NATO membership, the Swedish ‘neutrality policy,’ and the self-image of being a beacon of democratic values has long been nothing but hypocrisy, where export and profit has been superior to moral and ethics. More than a third of Swedish arms exports go to countries with major democratic deficiencies. Despite regulations, we manage to export military equipment not only to belligerent countries such as the USA, India and Pakistan, but also to belligerent dictatorships like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. With a membership in NATO we’ll end up in alliance with Turkey, Hungary and the next “Trump-alike” in the White House. Through this we’ll risk being drawn into defence of authoritarian powers. These are truly sad times, where politicians rely on public fear and where agitators propagate for rearmament, without a single thought of what world we are building for our future generations.”
If you missed it, a lyric video for leading single "Med mandomen lindad runt halsen" is still playinghere.
The band’s unique fusion of melodic raw punk, infused with a potent blend of sorrow and aggression, promises to captivate listeners and reignite the fighting spirit of the scene. The follow-up to their acclaimed 2020’s debut ”Det Svenska Hatet” delves into the heart of our contemporary societal landscape, exploring the tumultuous battleground of the culture war that saturates every facet of modern existence. A sonic exploration of modern cultural strife in a brutal and filthy dystopian package, the album is also a testament to the enduring power of punk to provoke, challenge, and inspire change. Within the constantly evolving expression one can still identify inspiration from classic Swedish crust-punk bands such as Skitsystem, Disfear, Anti-cimex mixed together with tones of more melodic punk such as Asta Kask and Strebers. Pre-orders are now available at this location.
