about

Dearest friends and enemies,

We present to you a new collection of songs to energize the mind and hopefully enflame the spirit with the desire to keep pushing forward. The old world is being tested by the new, but the form of our future is still ambiguous. It is being molded by all of us, by our inaction and action alike. Across the planet there is a great push from the forces of reaction who seek to annihilate for the sake of their pitiful obsession with power and control. They function out of one instinct only, fear. Fear of a different world, fear of actual creativity, fear of something beyond their narrow-minded understanding of life, a fear of living. A fear of change.

Unlike us, they must rely on institutions of authority to justify their violence. Unlike us, they cower behind fortified structures of power. Unlike us, they fight for slop and crumbs given to them by their masters. They will never understand the beauty with which we stand before their behemoth. They cannot imagine strength without the baton placed in their hands.

This compilation is dedicated to Tortuguita, who was murdered by cowards in uniforms whilst defending the Weelaunee Forest. They lived and fought with joy in their heart, and they continue to live in the spirit of resistance in the forest. This compilation is also dedicated to all who live in the struggle against that encroaching authoritarianism that seeks to cast the world into greater despair, to all who have fallen in this cause, to all who stand firm against state repression and violence, to those who carry the torchlight of liberty and to those who wield the hammer with which to strike the chains of control.

We would like to thank all who have contributed their workings to this compilation, and to all who continue to dance alongside us through these times of great disruption. There is a world of possibilities, an entire world to create, a reality to bend, but it begins with you. It begins with your desire and joy, and anger.

The money raised by this compilation will be donated to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund via the National Bail Fund Network to assist in the continued efforts against the proliferation of Cop City. They have done everything in their power to paint the movement in the most negative light, but the people of Atlanta and beyond know better. We believe that they understand that “the assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.”

Stay feral.
