Open Every Cage: Animal activist group ‘To The Grave’ releases new album, ‘Liberation Front’
Releasing their fifth full album, the band ‘To The Grave’ drops ‘Liberation Front,’ a 10-track beatdown of misanthropy and a call to action for their inflictions on our planet and the saving and survival of the creatures we share the same atmosphere with. ‘Liberation Front’ is To The Grave’s most direct collection of tracks the band has produced over their 15+ year career. The album is unrelenting, uncompromising, and is at your throat throughout its entirety. The Australian vegan outfit embodies themselves as the karmic revenge for animals and Mother Nature.
CONNOR DOUGLAS: Humans are said to be the pinnacle species on our planet: we share a common language, advanced technology, and industry. We attempt to make everyday life easier for one another and band together to form memorable cultures, beliefs, and societies. However, at what cost? We are not only the most advanced species on the planet, but also the most cruel and hateful.
Since the dawn of our creation, we have been drawn to inflicting pain upon each other and our environment — bloodshed and war, terraforming Mother Earth, and pulling her roots with machinery and shovels—and the animals. Slaughterhouses, where the mass butchering and torture of sentient creatures on land and sea occurs, serve to fill our stomachs, express luxury cuisines, and most of all — to assert dominance. We are the pinnacle of pain, disciples of agony; we are nothing but hate. In all regards, we are parasites.
This is the ethos of one of Deathcore’s most prominent bands in activism, veganism, and brutality: To The Grave. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, the five-piece outfit formed in 2010 has built their status through some of the most pummeling riffs, drumming, and ballistic vocal outrage I’ve ever seen in this damn genre (I get to listen to a lot in this occupation and have been a fan since 2019—these guys don’t fuck around).
Releasing their fifth full album and debut through BLKIIBLK, the band drops “Liberation Front,” a 10-track beatdown of misanthropy and a call to action for their inflictions on our planet and the saving and survival of the creatures we share the same atmosphere with. The album is unrelenting, uncompromising, and is at your throat throughout its entirety.
There is no budging that the message is to liberate animals from their torturers and butchers, and to salvage what’s left of the planet we haven’t already fucked up beyond repair. We easily justify our horrific acts on other creatures simply because “they’re just animals.” To The Grave argues, hatefully, No—we are the fucking animals. SOURCE
