MILITIA - The Black Flag Hoisted 2CD
Release of 2022.
Comes as 6-sided digipak with 8-pages booklet.
In 2016, Belgian tribal-power industrial sextet Militia
entered the studio to re-record their landmark 2000 album "The Black
Flag Hoisted", the final chapter of the ‘Statement’ triptych. The album
was re-recorded almost completely, several tracks were completed, the
recording of which was interrupted in 2000, and additional drum sections
were added that were not recorded last time.
In a few
months, the album was re-recorded and for 5 years it was waiting for the
release, which was postponed for various reasons.
The
work presents the Militia's view of anarchist theories - Die
Theorielosigkeit des Anarchismus, nihilism, and liberal quests of the
late 19th century, expressed in such historical figures as the Russian
anarchist theoreticians Bakunin and Kropotkin, the French anarchist
Proudhon. The first edition of the album is long out of print, as well
as the other two parts of the trilogy, and represent some of the most
wanted industrial recordings of the 2000s.
Militia's
music is always a unique and unique phenomenon. Conceptual industrial
symphonies of hundreds of machine voices that travel through time and
tell a story. Numerous references to events, ideas, people, and
movements are woven into texts, while music, on the contrary, is
distinguished by such originality that it is impossible
to talk about similarities or homages. The Militia albums, including
"The Black Flag Hoisted", are not designed to be "an everyday album."
This is a rare and, perhaps, too complex work, thought out before every
rustle and beat of the drum, deeply revealing the historical and
ideological questions posed by the musicians. You will want to return to
this recording more than once in order to hear something new and
understand what has already been heard.
