Systemic

The Naarm, Australia-based duo draws upon its Black and Indigenous heritage to make visceral instrumental metal infused with unmistakable socio-political intent.

Australian duo Divide and Dissolve (guitarist/saxophonist Takiaya Reed and drummer Sylvie Nehill) make instrumental music with the intention of protesting against colonialism and white supremacy, acknowledging ancestors whose land and culture were stolen, and encouraging people to fight for Black and Indigenous liberation.
