Further explanation is provided in the video below.
The follow up to 2017's The Unlawful Assembly, Behold Sedition Plainsong is a call to arms and a potential catalyst for positive radical change. Opening the album with evocative album intro, Raise The Flails, its rallying cry - ‘It’s time for new tales of resistance’ - sets the tone of the rest of the album. Behold Sedition Plainsong comprises of 11 tracks of what will surely become their trademark sound: pure black metal, shot through with sonic flecks of traditional folk. Each song is an emotional response to a political struggle, with a clear focus on ecological destruction and anti-capitalism.
