The Peoples Republic Of Europe – Feel The Power

THE STATEMENT.
There is a lot of turmoil in the world today. Mr Snowden has unveiled the massive surveillance project of the NSA. Freedoms worldwide are being diminished, like Russia with its anti LGTB laws, England with its anti-porn regulations and severe misuses of power in the USA.

Many people responded to this negatively and are protesting this. But most do not see the big picture. Lots of people think the powers that be are dumb and do not see the right solutions. But i think they very well do understand what is going on, and react accordingly.

There are too many people on this planet. For many years the population growth went unckecked because for some odd reason culling our own numbers seemed politically incorrect. But growth cannot go on forever, and we are nearing the treshold quick. The powers that be KNOW this. And while they talk about their fake economic recoveries and stimulus plans, they are secretly planning for the day shit hits the fan.

This is why the NSA controls the internet. This is why increasingly intrusive laws are proposed. The powers that be needs instruments to control the masses in case the economy breaks down spectacularly like in 1929 and most certainly even worse. The crash will be bigger and the crowds are bigger since those days. Extreme violence and revolutions will most certainly me the result.

The powers that be can’t have that. They want their priviliges uncontested, so they move new instruments of law into place, give permissions for massive privacy intrusions, and want to control every aspect of life. Because they need to control the masses. Because in the end there is no solution for the problems we are facing today. There are too many people, and they keep on reproducing like rabbits. It is even too late for birth control. The only solution now is genocide. And the powers that be keep on talking about job recovery and the good stockmarket results. But in the backrooms they have already planned out the coming genocide. Their instruments of law and oppression are already in place.

The storm is coming. Can you FEEL THE POWER?

[ND46] The Peoples Republic Of Europe – Under Stress

Under Stress had the hard task following up on Monopoly Of Violence and much pressure was on TPROE to follow up on that. “Under Stress” was however somewhat more technoish and experimental. The album did good, but not as good as MOV because of lack of a big clubhit. Still one song from this album we still play regularly live, while we rarely do MOV stuff nowadays in our recent more hardcore/doomcore sound.

Thematic this album is about peak oil and the downfall of our civilization. In those days, the downfall was expected to come pretty fast, but like we now know the downfall will actually be slow and crawling up on us. Many themes on this album are becoming reality now, so like MOV this album paints an quite acurate picture of the times we are living in now, and times which will come in the coming years. It ain’t gonna be pretty, and thats what “Under Stress” is all about.

Recorded live at the Into The Dark Lands festival 09-02-2013 at The Steeple, Waregem, Belgium. Recording made directly from soundboard. No microphones used. so no audience hearable in the recording. We were considering using soundclips form famous live albums like U2’s “Rattle and hum” or Bruce Springsteen’s 5 LP box to make everyone think we performed for 20.000 people (attendence was about 400 here), but we decided not to bother. 🙂
