lyrics

brought to the shrine as a virgin
to be married to the gods
from then on she is a slave
raped frequently by the priests
brought to the mines
to work in the dark
they find themselves stuck in a dead-end tunnel of danger and despair
dancing with fake breasts and bells around his ankles
to satisfy his masters needs
influential men - playing with boys
when they feel their life is over they have on longer any reason to resist
it‘s just avoiding beatings until they die
hoping for the end
"An estimated 35.8 million men, women, and children around
the world are trapped in modern slavery today. Modern sla-
very involves one person possessing or controlling a person
in such a way as to significantly deprive that person of their
individual liberty, with the intention of exploiting that person
through their use, management, profit, transfer or disposal.
Modern slavery contributes to the production of at least 122 goods from 58 countries worldwide. The International LabourOrganization (ILO) estimates the illicit profits of forced labour
to be $US150 billion a year. From the Thai fisherman trawling fishmeal, to the Congolese boy mining diamonds, from the
Uzbek child picking cotton, to the Indian girl stitching foot-
balls, from the women sewing dresses, to the cocoa pod pickers, their forced labour is what we consume. Modern
slavery is big business. Acknowledging the problem, and ad-
vocating against it is not philanthropy
– it is our responsibility"
you may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 64 fans who also own “Modern Slavery Exists”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

ARCHIVIST

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 42 fans who also own “Modern Slavery Exists”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
