Hermit's latest album, Bizarre Rituals In Honour Of The Capitalist Machine, is a captivating and thought-provoking work of art. The album's concept is centered around the idea of how our society has become enslaved to the capitalist machine, and the rituals we perform to feed it.
The album opens with the track "The March of Progress," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and eerie sound effects. The lyrics are a commentary on how we are constantly told that progress is good, but at what cost?
The album's standout track is "The Cult of Money," which features a catchy beat and memorable chorus. The lyrics paint a picture of how we have become obsessed with money and material possessions, and how we are willing to do anything to get them.
Another standout track is "The Sacrifice," which features a slow, brooding melody and haunting vocals. The lyrics describe the sacrifices we make in our lives for the sake of the capitalist machine, and how we have lost touch with our humanity in the process.
