Process of enlightenment facilitates Dehumanisation Resistance grows feeble against Apparatus of mass manipulation Look here, we are docile subjects. Addicted to dopamine and caught in echo chambers. More so this is a spectacle of varying personae with anxiety as primary symptom. "Resistance to irrational is what makes us profoundly human" What can be simulated, need not be done. Self-preservation? There's no self to preserve.
2.
Object of discourse is Object of desire Body is fetishised, dance floor exploits. Let's dance, the dance floor exploits us Toxic masculine, intoxication Media normalises, consents out of question. Systematic violence Unwelcome advances Narrative of male gaze Hypocrites teach restrain In theory we teach respect In practice your hand is up their skirts? Sound of my silence, is your safe space Sound of our silence, is your safe space.

Riddle me this I don't understand! How can one man be the salvation of a nation that's fucked historically? For, history truly is a bedtime horror story That left us to deal with its unresolved conflicts And only buried dead bodies! And whose history is being spoken of, while we raise monuments and appropriate them for a suitable narrative? Over-promise! Under deliver! Over and over! Answers to these questions are more and more questions While a pre-existing condition has a conditioned response! Counterfeit saviours At the cost of common denominators

देशाचा विकास छप्पन इंचाच्या बंधनान्मध्ये कसा सामावणार?? // देश का विकास छप्पन इंच के बन्धनो में कैसे समायेगा??

The masters have changed But not the slaves A cocoon of silence engulfs this city Deaf to the screams outside this valley Someday your walls will fall One day this bubble will burst And you'll hear the cries This bastion of bigotry This fortress of inequality Architects of all that is wrong What have you done? This city with no conscience, no standards Must fall, must burn (Over the past decade, Nepal has transitioned from a monarchy to a republic, but mindsets majorly remain the same. And this is true especially for Kathmandu, the capital city. Kathmandu is still where all the power in Nepal lies. It lives in its own bubble; no tragedy outside the valley fazes it.)

Against the state that suppresses their rights They start a movement for what they've been denied Ensnared by lies, deprived of their dues They take to the streets, the marginalised It's happened before, history repeats Rest assured, bodies will fall The privileged, they gaze down in disgust Too self-absorbed to understand the cause Incubating hate, breeding distrust &quote; Who the fuck are they, these foreigners Across the border, that's where they belong Disturbing our peace, gun them down! &quote; One has more clout than the other The divide, it only gets wider A gift from the state A bullet for your head To add to the dead (A parallel can be drawn between the Madhesi/Tharu people of the Southern plains of Nepal and the Nepali-speaking Gorkha population of the Darjeeling hills across the border in West Bengal, India, both of whom have gone through several violent protests against the power centres in Kathmandu and Kolkata, respectively. Marginalised and neglected for decades, these people have endured brutal, bloody movements in order to be heard, and every time protesters have been slaughtered by the state. While all this takes place, the privileged living in Kathmandu and Kolkata fail to understand what they're fighting for, instead dismissing the agitators as "foreigners" - referring to the Madhesi as "Indians" and the Gorkhas as "Invaders from Nepal".)

about

False Flag:

Vocals: Pushkar
Guitars/Vocals: Shaunak, Rohit
Bass: Kamran
Drums: Aryaman

Recorded @ DBF Funhaus, Malad
Produced and mixed by Apurv Agarwal
Mastered by Will Killingsworth @ Dead Air Studios

This record is about the body as seen through the lens of media, politics, surveillance and power. It asks questions and urges you to ask them as well. This record builds on the themes we established on our first EP.
The song 'Docile Body' wonders about submission of our "selves" into being docile subjects in an age of "technological oligarchy" (?). It is influenced by Max Horkheimer's "Rise and Decline of the Individual". (we recommend that you read it).
I want to say that I cannot be proud of my heritage/culture/lineage if it resists change normalises reactionary violence & is defined by someone's mythological fantasies of what a nation is or who "truly belongs" there.
If we are tied to our histories then it is our duty to examine ourselves as a consequence of many narratives that precede us.
I cannot be proud of a culture that silences voices of women with its regressive and hypocritical values & continues to normalise violence against them.
I especially refuse to be proud of a culture whose narrative is laced with politicians' spit.



Neck Deep In Filth:

Vishal - Vocals
Sandesh - Guitar
Sushil - Bass
Sanjay - Drums

'Bastion Of Bigotry' and 'Gift From The State (A Bullet For Your Head)' were recorded during the same session as our self-titled debut EP which came out in 2017. They were engineered, mixed and mastered by Sushil, who also plays bass in the band. Being that these two were the first tracks we wrote back when we got together in 2016, this is the band at its simplest.
