Defiance [Album] by Miel Noir & Changes
We started with a couple of collaboration tracks and just kept going. This album developed organically and it is a statement for the current times. Writing and recording with Changes was a pleasure and an honor.
Marcel P. for Miel Noir
-------------------------------------------------------
In my life the thought of our society of brave patriotic, free-thinkers turning into trembling, mewling, mask-wearing, sheltered-in-place whiners would have been unthinkable! In the past, though many have tried to destroy our freedom, liberty and country, it took the fear campaign from the Wuhan Virus to make it actually happen!
Shuttering people, closing small businesses and making everyone think that the virus was an all-encompassing demonic ghost that would attack them through windows, walls, floorboards or outdoors while walking alone was their evil plan! This, of course, eventually led to an excuse to create a rigged Banana Republic election!
However, with the extremists pushing so far, so fast, it has had an amazingly positive affect! By the grace of the Gods they have made a large part of the population WAKE UP, grab our proverbial muskets and fight these bastards to regain our Constitutional freedom! You can push patriots only so far before they rebel, and among the many
blatant violations they perpetrated, indoctrinating our children was the final straw! For Freedom and Defiance!
