8 Heavy Metal Songs That Denounce Racism
6. Kreator- People Of The Lie
Not unlike Napalm Death, Kreator has built a career on spotlighting the perceived ills of the sociopolitical climate with People of the Lie addressing the Nazi-influenced mentality of the “master plan” and associated genocide.
The rest of the song is otherwise less specific about its intended target and more impactful in its assertion of contempt for those who “advocate… fanatic dogma from recycled from yesterday.”
The lyrics present racist individuals with a warning of their impending fall as “right is on the side of those who choose to fight for humankind,” making no attempt to humanize them, but instead degrading them as a “waste of flesh and blood” who should be reciprocated against under the rule of “eye for an eye.”
