Civilization is not and can never be sustainable. This is especially true for industrial civilization.

Traditional communities do not often voluntarily give up or sell the resources on which their communities are based until their communities have been destroyed.

It follows that those who want the resources will do what they can to destroy traditional communities.

Premise 1 & 2

Lyrics by Johnny. Tardigrades are commonly known as water bears or moss piglets. They can survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. In our opinion, that makes them the most metal of all creatures ;-)

Tardigrade

Lyrics by Jerry. Cheap and easy to get, crystal meth (metamfetamine) is considered to be more addictive than heroine or crack. In many places all over the globe it has become a modern plague with a devestating impact.

Crystal Demon

Lyrics by jerry and Johnny. About a Dutch legend based on robbers who were said to have entered a pact with the devil. In reality arrested suspects were forced to confess by torture and hunderds of innocent people were convicted and condemned. 

Bockereyders

Lyrics by Jerry. Schizophrenia is a nasty mental disorder often manifestating itself by auditory hallucinations and paranoid, bizarre delusions plus the disintegration of thought processes and logic.

Schizophrenia

Devour

Lyrics by Johnny. Inspired by Paul Gilding, who first wrote about the idea of a 'Great Disruption', a system wide ecologial crash and dramatic economic transformation in response, in a thought-provoking essay in 2005.

The Great Disruption

Lyrics by Jerry, fascinated by all the fake and emptiness in that notorious, glitzy city of sin where various vices are catered continuously...

In Hopi language 'koyaanisqatsi' means something like 'life of moral corruption and turmoil' or 'life out of balance'. You might also call it a state of life that calls for antoher way of living.


Koyaanisqatsi

Lyrics by Jerry. Most of our waste today is comprised of plastic, a material that the earth cannot digest. Every bit of plastic that has ever been created still exists - except for a small amount that has been incinerated, releasing toxic chemicals. A lot of plastic is ending up in the so-called garbage patches in each of the five major oceanic gyres. 

Trash Vortex

Agents of Entropy were a neocrust three-piece from Utrecht, Netherlands featuring (former) members of Vals and Bloodgod / Nuestros Derechos. We played music inspired by Derrick Jensen's two-volume book Endgame. War cries for dismantling and destruction!
