The final track brings you back into the core theme of the EP the ever present conflict between trans joy and transphobic hate. You will feel as each psychological brick is thrown. How dare we ask for liberation? Asks the world, yet in this despairing acknowledgement of hate, there is hope. In the bleak musical darkness of “ABOMINATION” there is an unyielding defiance and dissent. Daughter channels a refusal to give in as the EP ends with the final screams: ‘we did not chose this war, but with no choice but to fight, if you want our extermination, then face our true might!’ It is that might in the face of extermination that is at the heart of every word, every note and every beat of Daughter’s music.
lyrics
To you we are abomination,
How dare we ask for liberation?
You act with joyful predation,
Yet in your fear, a new gestation,
Epidemic, plague carriers all,
We infect with hope, with joy we stand tall
Why such dread, when we number so small,
I think you know, your bastions will fall
We did not chose this war,
But with no choice to fight,
If you want our extermination,
Then we will do what is right!
I have the last couple of albums. They are great, but this one just smashes it. Dark, hard, but has such great flow. It really balances everything so well across the album. a fav listen. Imnotevans
What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well! deathmoth829
