This song is inspired by Wet'suwet'en resistance to the Coastal Gaslink pipeline project in the settler-colonial nation state known as Canada. It is also inspired by worldwide Indigenous and anti-colonial resistance in general, such as the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico.
The title comes from a slogan used by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and related projects like Cooperation Jackson, a slogan that we think is fitting for this topic.
lyrics
Harvest greed
Through the
Unceded Territory
Red Dresses
To remind
Oppressors of their crimes
Cognitive dissonance
In their venal system
Fosters a blind eye to
Genocidal symptoms
I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic
If this came through your feed, you're probably like "Way to go dumbass... You didn't have this shit already??" 😂🤣
I'll have you know I am buying this album once again (for like, what? the 4th time??) to pick up the new sick "sea blue gel" vinyl variant of this modern classic. Jfc Earache Records still knows how to grab my money, even after all these years haha. Have a feeling "Hiss" will be near the top of my Albums of the Decade list when all is said and done. What an absolute masterpiece. bcb723
