Is Indoctrine a concept album? What can you tell us about the story behind the lyrics?
Genuine violence and aggression mixed with the kind of very real and very dark subject matter that would make other bands heads spin. No cartoon imagery or fantastical pseudo religious hocus pocus, this is the sniper filing down the pin before picking off innocents, this is the suicide bombers sweaty greasy hand on the ignition, dead bodies piled in the politics of the mass grave. Unforgiving and unrelenting elitism I can’t help but guess that some of the lyrics were inspired by current events. How much inspiration did you draw from the “real world” for Indoctrine? A: The whole album is real. It’s not fantasy or escapism. It’s about a man/woman on the fringes of society who falls to religious indoctrination, alienation and ultimately martyrdom through suicide bombing. You could switch on the news and see this story any day in any country. I’m not interested in writing escapism. Alan, your home country of Ireland is no stranger to political and religious conflicts. Did this in any way p
