This song is about the 2008 insurrections in Greece, named after a documentary about the movement. The lyrics are based on graffiti that was tagged in direct actions during the uprising.
lyrics
These hollow days and fiery nights
Do not belong to our oppressors
As the city burns
A flower blooms
Living commodity
Fists raised over the moon
The ghost of freedom bears a knife
Between its teeth
A violent chain

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
