Review

Sing, o Muse, of the plight of the people of Atlantis, sunken below the sea for their hubris, their attempted mistreatment of other nations, their forgetting of their own origins. Sing of how the ground opened and the waves arose to engulf one of the most impressive – and FICTIONAL – nations ever built by Humanity, how the Mediterranean devoured it, and it turned into mere allegory.

Sing, o Goddess, for we need to remember it in these times when the powerful make no pretence of caring for nought but themselves, when climate collapses due to capitalist gluttony, when genocide happens for the building of ethnostates – because this time is not fiction, but history! And unlike fiction, there is no “fate” in history, and our destruction is not fated!

On our side is yet once more oceanic, Atlantic, their music resounding from Ireland to give a helping hand to those who drown in the swamps of despair that the powerful try to shove us into. Their drums beat in fury as righteous as those who fight apartheid and genocide in Palestine, their guitars a torch as bright as the rainbows that spring from every country against LGBT erasure.

And “Timewon” may we be, and “Weathered” we certainly are from being dragged through the “Underside” of this horrific world we live in, but there is still a light of hope guiding our “Voyages” on the “Spirit Trails” – towards a different future where every tyrant has been hanged with the entrails of every bourgeois where borders used to lie, and all of humanity is free. Sing to us, Calliope, not only of the tragedy of our days – and how we will all overcome it, with violence and with music and with death and with life, and the Internationale will be the human race!
