We Look For a Sinister Age
Empire—Empire (1981 / Post Punk)
Hello internet pals of music. Today we’re feeling prophetic with an obscure post-punk band that had a huge influence on the DC punk scene.
Book takes place of human leader
Blending old lessons with the new
Way of life hangs in the balance
Trials by fire mark the land

Breathe brings life — and danger
Melding creature and creation
One way to drive off evils spirits
Along the sea-lanes of history
Doomsday comes to Zakinthos
Confident on the eve of battle
An army of cutters sweeps the plains
“I will die with my people”
— excerpts from the artist book Quatrains originally printed in 2013 by the one-off press, Rational Neographic, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Reproduced here on the eve of the author’s home country committing a psy-op on it’s own citizens, and committing economic war on his adopted country — where he currently can’t live, in order to prepare the setting for an extremely ill-advised and insane attempt at annexation. Let us all pray to whomever that we survive this monstrosity of a time we are living in.
