This song is about the 2019/2020 insurrections in Chile, which ultimately resulted in a rewrite of the nation's constitution which was written under Pinochet's regime. It pays respect to the hundreds of activists who lost their eyes to police violence and is named after the riot dog Negro Matapacos, a Very Good Boy who became the symbol of the movement.
lyrics
Reconciliations
Back dropped to state violence
Political elite betray
Agreements to create
Destroy social peace
Through eyes of Chile
Insurrection
I gave my eyes
So you’d wake up
Release the dogs
Matapacos
The means to disrupt
Only intimidates
The contemptible
And corrupt
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
