Not hiding behind any metaphor, the track calls out deep-seated corruption. “When writing for these new releases we spent a lot of time talking and philosophising about who we are as a band, what we represent and what we wanted to achieve,” says frontman Sam Crocker. “A short simple answer became pragmatic—we are a protest band, we have always been that. We have always stood for something and we wanted to express that fervently with our new music, literally scream it from the rooftops. This song is a perfect representation of that. We are an anti-fascist band.”

The System Is Racist And Oppressive will feature on their upcoming EP All Things, recorded by Kurt Ballou at GodCity in Salem MA.

“I think those that understood what we were doing with Through Fire—a doomy stoner rock song—enjoyed it immensely and appreciated our change of pace. I think anyone who didn’t like it, was just expecting something different—something aggressive, something that makes you want to burn everything to the ground—that’s this song.” Crocker adds. 

All Things is set to drop on Friday, 26th March, 2021, pre-orders are available now. Antagonist A.D. will celebrate its release on Friday, 30th April at Stay Gold in Melbourne—they are hoping to tour Australia as soon as possible.
