Interview w Angela Gossow, lead singer of (excellent metal band) Arch Enemy. She'd fit right in here

[Skip Intro]

Refreshing views from European metal band Arch Enemy lead singer: Video of them in action at the bottom of the post.

Worth a read if you got nothing better to do. Very anarchistic views, comments on atheism, bush, world politics, veganism...

snip:

The title of your last studio album, the word “tyrant” has a special meaning for me, you know in Romania we had like 50 years of communism, of tyranny…

Oh dear… Still? Haha. J No, I know. But you never know, sometimes it’s lingering underneath.


Yeah, in the mentality…

Yeah yeah yeah… I know of course and we obviously had that too in Eastern Germany. It’s been a long journey, yes… Communism is indeed tyranny, but capitalism can be as well. You know a lot of people asked us if the title ‘Rise Of The Tyrant’ was directed towards George W.Bush, the US president at the time. The US is supposed to be a democracy but has been governed in the way of tyranny for eight years, completely destroyed… And I’m not sure if Obama has brought a turn for the better, to be honest. I think the bankers rule the world by now, the very powerful rich people and this is a tyranny, it’s money tyranny. “Rise Of The Tyrant” - you can interpret it very globally. It’s happening everywhere and all you can do is have your own rebellion, in your own life. I try to get through the holes in the net, escape the system as much as you can, there are ways, but you have to be quite clever. Every net has holes and you can get through them, but you have to try really hard. One way to do it, is being in a band, travel around and don’t live anywhere for too long, that’s a good thing… J Escape the system, you know…

Here is a video. If you're a metal fan, I don't see how you could dislike this:

"stereotyped fools, playing the game, nothing unique, its all just the same"
