The hegelian dialectic
Inspired by groups including, The Red Chord, Between the Buried and Me, Daughters, The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Meshuggah, Into the Moat, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, George Orwell the Musical boasts a sound that ranges from melodically pleasant to erratically jarring. With drummer Anthony Funaro joining the ensemble in early 2013, GOTM has been able to showcase this message with pinpoint accuracy, as the missive deserves. âBasically, we want to enlighten people with the true nature of slavery, in all of its complicated forms, how it has infiltrated to our everyday lives, and how we can pursue true freedomâ. In Part One of this concept trilogy, lyricist/vocalist Jay Henehan describes a dystopian civilization where slavery isnât as simple as being chained with iron shackles. The most recent is astutely named, âThe Hegelian Dialecticâ. Since forming in2006 with guitarist Keith Ouellette, GOTM has released 2 LPs (2007, 2013). âGeorge Orwell the Musicalrepresents an idea, just as much as it identifies as a chaotically concise and controlled musical experience,â says bassist Michael McClelland. They aim for perfection in live performance and conceptual intricacy (lyrically, musically, and schematically), while remaining stylistically true to their message and creating tight-knit bonds to their loyal,ever-growing following. This saying encompasses every aspect of what the Technical/ Progressive Metal outfit out of Lowell, MA strives to achieve. George Orwell the Musical can be summed up in TWO easy words: âTight Buttholeâ. The Personality must die! Suppress the ego! Die⊠Kill all the sheep! Theyâve all outlived their purpose and Darwin said only the strong survive. Lead them into war! Expand, expand, and conquer foreign lands for it is our destiny brothers. Get emâ while there young! Force feed them sugar, rot their brains, and put fluoride in the drinking water. Sing a little tune! Wave the flag, light the fireworks and dance around on the fourth of July. The State has proven that the State is God. The State has proven that the State is GodâŠIn the Vacuum, fill the voidâŠThe State has proven that there is no God. The State has proven that there is no God. Infiltrate the establishment, infiltrate the hierarchy, infiltrate the underground. She seeks answers from dancers who drink from a cup of her blood. She stands naked in a field with nothing but her pride to show, she embraces the next step. The inevitability of a crash is evident, brace for the worst, panic.
