so more music i can't get out of my head this time it takes the form of London based Dinocore/ Disastercore/ Robotcore/ Tyrantcore 4 piece Down I go
The song in question is off their new record Tyrant which is about famous and not so famous tyrannical world leaders throughout history, including Pol Pot, George Bush, Josef Stalin, Ariel Sharon and many more, and it sounds like Henry VIII’s syphilitic ulcers bursting, Ivan the Terrible beating his pregnant daughter in law and causing her to miscarry, Turkmenbashi’s 12 metre high gold statue of himself rotating to face the sun, Israel growing at the expense of others, mass graves being filled with murdered Cambodians, Romanians queueing for bread.

the song is Nicolae Ceaucescu heres what wiki had to say about him.
Nicolae Ceauşescu (January 26, 1918–December 25, 1989) was the leader of Romania from 1965 until December 1989, when a revolution and coup removed him from power. The self-called revolutionaries' representatives held a two-hour trial and sentenced him to death for crimes against the state, genocide, and "undermining the national economy."The hasty trial has been criticized as a kangaroo court. His subsequent execution marked the final act of the Revolutions of 1989.
Now lets see what the Down i go lyrics say about him
Tear them down!
Demolish old buildings to make space for new buildings to fill with tiny comrades.
Have Children! More Children!
Ceaucescu has amassed an unaffordable loan to pay for all buildings and all of the oversized families.
Families are starving while the food is shipped out. The darkened shelves are empty and the house is getting colder.
Blackout!
The television says that nobody's going to starve, but supposed record harvests never make it to the hungry people who have HIV and orphans in the streets.
A smiling leader in denial flanked by secret police.
Steaming>Down I go - Nicolae Ceaucescu

Down I Go
Rupert from bats recently went over to London to record some guest vocals on the new Down i go record 'Tyrant'.
Well if you missed Down I Go on there legendary sell out tour of Ireland last year with bats they sound like Earthquakes, tidal waves, swarms of disease carrying mosquitoes, burning houses, sinking ships, exploding reactors, starving dinosaurs, Bostonites drowning in treacle, fatal coughing fits, burning hair, stock market crash, planes falling from the sky...
With records called This is Disastercore (a retrospective of the world's worst disasters. Including songs about The Hindenburg, The Great Plague, The Challenger Space Shuttle, Chernobyl, the Extinction of the Dinosaurs, the sinking of the Titanic and many more. )
This is Dinocore (a musical experiment fusing the stories and profiles of prehistoric monsters with the music of metal and hardcore) and This is Robotcore (all about robots). There new record is called Tyrant mmm wonder what thats about.
