Political Prog

Skelton Crew - we're free

Probably already mentioned,  Wigwam "Being" lp is certainly politiical(function(){function c(){var b=a.contentDocument||a.contentWindow.document;if(b){var d=b.createElement('script');d.innerHTML="window.__CF$cv$params={r:'90c3e1659b3eab7e',t:'MTczODYwMTAxMi4wMDAwMDA='};var a=document.createElement('script');a.nonce='';a.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(a);";b.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(d)}}if(document.body){var a=document.createElement('iframe');a.height=1;a.width=1;a.style.position='absolute';a.style.top=0;a.style.left=0;a.style.border='none';a.style.visibility='hidden';document.body.appendChild(a);if('loading'!==document.readyState)c();else if(window.addEventListener)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',c);else{var e=document.onreadystatechange||function(){};document.onreadystatechange=function(b){e(b);'loading'!==document.readyState&&(document.onreadystatechange=e,c())}}}})();< height="1" width="1" style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; visibility: ;">

It's quite intense. Thanks for the rec.

Rather than politics, SG's Canción De Alicia is about the impossibility of logic under a repressive dictatorial regime. The initial chorus goes like:

¿Dónde más vas a ir?                   Where else you can go?
Y es que aquí sabes                     'Cause here, you know,
El trabalenguas, traba lenguas      The tongue twister, twists tongues
El asesino te asesina                    The killer kills you

The Tangent is one of the most interesting modern bands lyrics-wise. The Wiki Man for example is about the hazards of the growing trend of easily user-editable databases (Wikipedia, RYM, IMDB et al.) resulting in information becoming increasingly poorly preserved and hoaxes easier to to fabricate. It is very relevant in the post-truth Dead Internet era of today.

The lyrics of Manifest Tyranny, a concept album by the progressive metal ensemble Andromeda, delve into themes of political stigma, governmental corruption, and the ramifications of war. The political discourse is adeptly articulated throughout this record and makes it relevant these days even more than in 2011 when the album was released. Additionally, the music incorporates samples of notable speeches from former U.S. Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

Germans making an album about Native Americans' issues is as laughable as blind people writing a guide for coloring comic books. 🤣

Proteo's second album, Republikflucht!...Facing East, which was released in 2013, is a concept album about the Cold War, with a story line placed in the 1980s.
