about

Heavy distortion, haunting vocal harmonies, and speed-metal breakdowns provide the backdrop for a letter of apology addressed to the life forms that came before us. Whether through the consumption of gasoline, coal, or plastics, our modern world still revolves heavily around petroleum. This substance is made from the remains of dead sea creatures and organisms that lived in the oceans millions of years ago. Seeing the destructive consequences from our abuse of ‘fossil fuels’ inspired the idea that these environmental disasters are in fact our ‘liquid ancestors’ coming back to punish us for abusing their remains. Translated into English, the second verse says, “Black gold. Liquid ancestors. I used you and I left you. Vengeance is yours.”

lyrics

Sintético
Sufriste como yo
Te usé y de dejé
Los muertos lloran

Nube ácida
Mar de plástico

Oro negro
Ancestros líquidos
Te usé y de dejé

Nube ácida

Ah-ooh-ah
Síntetico
Oro negro

Nube ácida
Mar de plástico
Nube ácida
Mar de plástico
