Armoured Flu Unit (https://www.facebook.com/ArmouredFluUnitOfficial) are no strangers to Just Some Punk Sings. They've featured several times with this song being a particular favourite https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/12/armoured-flu-unit-this-machine-kills.html
They're big advocates of animal rights but aren't as keen on fascists and capitalists. Many of their songs deal with these topics and you can always rely on them to combine heavy, pounding riffs with intelligent lyrics.
Their new album is no exception to this rule. The album's titled Carnyx which led me to check out what Carnyx means. Google reveals "The Celtic Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 300 B.C. and 200 A.D., produced eerie, resonant sounds that echoed across battlefields. Historian Polybius noted its ability to rally Celtic warriors and instill terror in Roman soldiers who heard its haunting tones before combat." Hopefully this album has a similar effect on those huntsmen, fascists, capitalists and general wrong 'uns that the band are rallying against.
The album's out now (vinyl, cd, digital) on the ever reliable Grow Your Own Records : https://growyourownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/carnyx
I should really be highlighting Hidden Face as the band have gone to the trouble of releasing a very classy video for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBg91oKvOLY) but being somewhat of a contrarian, I'm going with something different. This is about how corporate power can bring about Teflon coats. You can get away with pretty much anything if you grease enough palms. It's called Nothing Sticks...
