Saor - Origins

Weeded the garden all morning to lots of rockin' albums. Secular rock? Muse - all their anti-establishment songs.

Did Muse keep those anti establisment leanings? Or did they cave like so many bands did during Covid?
The lyrics to Uprising seem almost prophetic.

They fought even harder. That's one reason I've been more interested in them. 

This year they've released two songs so far: Compliance and Won't Stand Down. The lyrics and videos seem pretty self-explanatory. Plus, they're catchy as well. 



Lyrics:
Compliance, we just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
Just give us your compliance
We won’t let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance

Fall into line, you will do as you’re told
No choice fatigue, your blood is running cold
We lose control, the world will fall apart
Love of your life, we’ll mend your broken heart

Life lived in fear, you need protection
You’re all alone, too much rejection
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you

Compliance...

Cover your tracks, we know what’s best for you
You’ve bitten off, much more than you can chew
You’re running scared, you’ll run into our arms
Come join our clique, we’ll keep you safe from harm
Our toy soldier, you’ll do the dirty work
Stay loyal to us, we’ll take away the hurt
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you

Compliance..

Nice. After watching RATM and so many others become pimps for the government, this is refreshing.

A mix of Annihilator.

Shinedown-Planet Zero. Disapointing.

I was just looking at them on Spotify, wasn't sure how their lyrics were, based on the song titles I was a little on the fence. Anything majorly anti-christianity?

Course of Nature "Superkala"
Edit:
Welp. That album only had the one song that gripped me. Lame.

Manowar "The Revenge of Odysseus"

They have a couple that are disdainful of the church, mostly seems the RCC. They aren't happy lyrics but nothing too over the top.

Alright, thanks man. I don't mind a little criticism of religious establishments and denomination in lyrics. I'll give em a look soon.
