Thane E Ahrens While Rising Tide is easily the best track, many others are quite good as well. My favorite track after that one is easily Tyrant with BREAK and Free (2019) for a couple other stand outs I enjoy quite a bit on this album. Favorite track: Rising Tide.

Free (2019) 03:58
FREE: You got just what you wanted now you don’t want what you got... Free You are free to do whatever we want you will live like an idiot savant in a cage that we made with your fists but you're free to do whatever we wish You are blessed some aren’t as lucky as you you should thank god that we take care of you keep you locked up safe and tight in a box but you see there’s no keys for these locks If you want your pretty little toys if you want your pretty little noises you want your circuses and clowns? then shut the fuck up and kneel the fuck down You got just what you wanted now you don’t want what you got... You are perfect just the way that you are all except for your imperfections and scars you must change or you can never be sold you're too plain you're too flawed you're too young you're too old You’re too beautiful to be anything else than an ornament that we keep on a shelf so hush now and let us do as we please to keep you safe from these creeping and crawling diseases If you want your pretty little toys if you want your pretty little noises you want your circuses and clowns? then shut the fuck up and kneel the fuck down You are free free at last free from history and past free to strain at your leash but the die's been cast If we’re free as a bird in the sky then how come we don’t fly? Thank god I’m Free Thank god I’m Free But if I’m Free Then how come I don’t fly Away from you

Echo Chamber 03:41
Echo Chamber. These ears fell deaf because I felt so aligned with all we'd ever said I forgot to discover and become what I would make of me If I had just begun This echo chamber Just needs one more wall smashed down And we can take it Echo Chamber This premise is so intuitive but now we've expressed it what do we make of it? This echo chamber Just needs one more wall smashed down And we can take it goddamnit just needs one more wall smashed down and we can break it goddamnit In the middle Of a complacent majority I'll be the rebel and deny your authority In the middle of the sound of the sound of the sound of consent I'll be the rebel and this countering voice will not relent. Do you see what I see 
say what I say we repeat then replay echo the lies until they become too loud to deny I’m torn between these civil lines and the urge to scream do I wait for the world to waken or swing this hammer and start breakin’? of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound.... This echo chamber just needs one more wall smashed down and we can take i well goddamnit just needs one more wall smashed down And we can break it God Damn It

Touch 03:30
TOUCH: ====== Don't you fucking touch me Get out of my space I will fuck up your face If you touch me You are not meant to be where I don't want you which is near me Don't you fucking touch me Get the fuck out of my face out of this space your pig ignorance don’t justify your actions he who inflicts himself on the unwilling is nothing but a disease Don't you fucking touch me I will fuck you up I will shit on your grave If you touch me Get out Get out Don't you fucking touch me Get the fuck out of my face out of this space your pig ignorance don’t justify your actions he who inflicts himself on the unwilling is nothing but a disease I came not into the room To look good in it for you I came not into the world for you Back the fuck off! Back the fuck off. Fuck off! Don't you fucking touch me

Doll 04:50
DOLL She is haunted by her shadow scared of what’s outside her window She lives inside this other Hides inside another shell This living hell, another skin Forgotten girl living within The mirror lies and she’s inside clawing, screaming I don’t want you I don’t need you you are not what I want to be Take you break you remake you then fake you starve you feed you cut you carve you bleed you Sold and controlled and remoulded 'til the self has imploded Bow to the pressure the pressure I will not be your Russian doll I will not be your Russian doll I will not be your fucking doll She is slowly tearing this away skinning the layers that you’ve made burning the pieces of your game no more will you pick and choose what she can do, what she can be for she has now broken free no more will you define me I don’t want you I don’t need you You are not what I want to be, Take you break you remake you then fake you starve you feed you cut you carve you bleed you Sold and controlled and remoulded 'til the self has imploded Bow to the pressure the pressure I will not be your Russian doll I will not be your Russian doll I will not be your fucking doll I am I wake the clones and break the lines I will kill your lie I will not be defined by you

Rising Tide 08:05
Rising Tide ========= I’m watchin water rising down the river of denial I’m watchin water rising over your smile I’m watchin water rising down the river of denial I’m watchin water rising over your smile The tide is lappin’ at your back door, said you’re gonna wait for more proof from the press corp sorry to interrupt your party the water's up to halfway but keep sippin’ your latte I wouldn’t wanna cramp your deathstyle give a little pig smile just adjust the temp dial This scene is melting like a Dali you're sweating like it’s Bali the heat hits you like Ali The mining maggots took the high ground watching while you meltdown leave you floating face down So safe upon a first world throne drowning third world homes punching through the ozone They made a killing institution selling you solutions to their own pollution Don’t wanna upset the cash cow heat is rising, my how people drop like flies now, Insane end-game Russian roulette you play I can't let you sell the whole world away I’m watchin water rising down the river of denial I’m watchin water rising over your smile Here comes another death summer Looks a lot like karma Hits you like a coma Ain’t no more ice for your cocktails Guess it’s time to set sail off to catch the last whale Champagne in the moon light Sipping while the reef dies Watch it going bone white We keep living like a tourist ignorance is poison denial and hubris When the wings of the last bee cease to beat we’ll be nothing but a memory So good night, little primate Guess you sealed your fate Time to watch the waves break The boat is leaving, wave it bye bye Better learn to float before we hit the high tide It’s time to sink, swim or bail you're either hanging on the cross or you're banging in the nails Insane end-game Russian roulette you play I can't let you sell the whole world away I’m watchin water rising down the river of denial I’m watchin water rising over your smile Air keeps burning Tide keeps rising There’s always more bodies on the horizon My heart is melting Your heart is saved My home is slipping under the waves Another bird Another leaf Another soul Another's grief Another break in the link Another one now extinct Another heart Another breath Another life Another death Just fuel for the fire to fulfil our desires

New Skies 04:30
New Skies Where cells divide and stars collide we are born ancient every single time scale, blood, bone, skin, the more we go out The more we go in and begin again speaking in tongues sleeping in suns riding blood back to the seed chasing stars and tracing scars cutting black holes till they bleed the light inside no more defined this is the ride that blows your mind Take me back to new Skies where we fly new Skies Where we shine We’re made of dirt We’re made of stars so ignite the spark and kill the dark swim, crawl, walk, fly I'm the evolver so reach for the sky Like space unfolds The scene retold to songs the chaos brings The butterfly looks to the sky and raises up it’s wings seeds in the fire always rise the black holes close open your eyes Take me back to new skies where we fly new skies Where we shine new skies where we fly new skies where we shine

Tyrant 06:36
Tyrant I am the fictional representation of your inhuman desire to watch people suffering for disagreeing with your ideas of control You invented me said I created you and if I'm so fucking awesome then I need some sacrifice You think paradise is a place for those who don't suck my Infinite dick Humans, you make me sick Kill your son, sell your daughter Keep the heathens poor Do not spare the rod I am The Lord, your god Suffering, ass-kissing, I just want more I shall never tire of my threat of fire Burning and churning in molten agony. I am the summary of your inequity I am your father your killer your prodigy One day you'll suffer my desire to burn you. Tyrant Kill the infidels send them straight to hell: my dungeon of torture, my pit of pride. If you don't worship me I shall not set you free Sycophant robots, I said free, I lied I will dominate Omnipotent, omni-hate Fear equals love equals duty is pain You're all pawns in this masturbatory bliss ego-stroking celestial game. Infinite mercy is infinite pain. "Morality" is not my fucking name. It's "jealous" its "Yahweh" its "Allah" its "Jesus". Keep on with the slaughter: the smell of blood pleases I came not to bring peace but a sword I am the torturer. I am the Lord Kill your brothers and kill your cousins The punch line is when you die you will get nothing I am fictional I am fictional I am fictional I am pretend Tyrant No gods no masters

I am fictional I am pretend

In THE RED: ========= The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!" The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!" The voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!" This is the hammer and piston This is a fist in this system If you think this is a metaphor then you ain't fuckin' listening This is a mantra a rant, a chant from a voice in dissent 'cause I ain’t swallowin' or followin' these hollow incantations of exploitation that they keep advocatin’ built upon false foundations based upon sweatshop nations I say don’t wear it down tear it down Take the wealth, share it 'round Without workers, you see, there’d be no societies to be found The rich keep theivin' but they’d have us believin’ that it’s fair that the lions share goes to those who have no need for it and babies are starvin' while they’re carvin' brand names in their back and you wonder why I say “Turn and attack”, Hell yeah I’m a socialist You know this by the way my words flow This ain’t no joke and every word that I’ve spoken’ll show this Capitalism is a prison of greed Fuck what they want I’m interested in what the whole world needs We’re the left We’re the red We’re the noise in your head We’re the voice when The poor sing sing "No fuckin' more!" This is the sound of it all comin’ down of it all comin’ down See they say "Just start as you mean to go on" Well I don't mean to go on but until this war's won There's no justice in the U.S.A Iraq or Australia In Cuba or China or Venezuela. Are you leftist or rightist blackest or whitest a writer, a fighter CIA or Al Qaeda? Capitalist? Socialist? Feminist? Pacifist? More hardcore than a fist full of anarchists? Out in the street bringin' heat with the molotov, 'til they send the dogs along to knock our blocks off Passive resistance or violent insistence well, brothers and sisters I don't think they're hearin' us Time to up the ante in the cities and the shanties Show the “balance of power” ain’t with the few It’s with the many Black Brown White United is the key 'til there ain't no power like the Power Of The People We’re the left We’re the red We’re the noise in your head We’re the voice when The poor sing "No fuckin' more!" This is the sound of it all comin’ down of it all comin’ down There ain't no power like the power of the people the voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!" There ain't no power like the power of the people the voice when the poor sing "No fucking more!"

BREAK 03:43
BREAK: You tore You tore at my skin Tall poppy you didn't bring me down to your level you don't understand one face is all I have don't play I don't play this game sticks, stones ain’t gonna break these bones You drained were like a leech on me but no more of me will I give I won’t break I won’t be weakened by you I won’t shy away from what I must do I won’t break I’ll keep on kicking through I won’t shy away from what I must do I saw saw through all your masks your facade well it broke like glass shards and splinters left embedded in you with not one piece left in me History is all your are to me lies come unbound Bury you like a memory six feet straight down I won’t break I won’t be weakened by you I won’t shy away from what I must do I won’t break I’ll keep on kicking through I won’t shy away from what I must do You won't break me down again You won't break me down 'cause Im stronger than you You won't break me down I won’t break I won’t be weakened by you I won’t shy away from what I must do I won’t break I’ll keep on kicking through I won’t shy away from what I must do

Robots 05:09
ROBOTS: Turn on your tv Turn on your opinion generator Find out what you think today Who's your new enemy? Which celebrity should you imitate? Which one is the in one? What pseudoscientific nonsense can detoxify can remove the creeping numbness? What can you buy To keep up with the lie? Robots Robots Robots Robots Look in my eye Look at the screen This is your dream Look in my eye Turn on your numb state Increase your alpha waves You'll be suggestible
So damned impressionable It's cerebral anaesthetic With small doses of outrage It's okay It's more comfortable inside the cage These flashy images Are inside of your home That means that you own them, right? So sleep with your fists tight These people are your friends They visit you every night That means that they love you, right? you'll sleep secure tonight Robots Robots Robots Robots Look in my eye Look at the screen This is your dream Look in my eye Media Feeding Ya Greed Plants The Seed in Ya Leading Ya, Bleeding Ya Dry Tellin yourself you’re Free Eyes blinking mindlessly head nodding to the beat buy buy Robots Robots Robots Robots Look in my eye Robots Robots Robots Robots Look in my eye

about

The 12 track album RESISTENTIA, released October 12th, 2019, takes The MOLOTOV's hard hitting style, progressive and politically controversial lyrics and unique cross-genre sound to a new level. Songs vary from the upbeat single Break and the complex and melodic prog-rock of Rising Tide, to the anthemic rap of In the Red, the soaring majesty of New Skies and the heavy and vicious Touch.

The mix of Jayde's melodic singing and furious screaming, Scart's driving rhythmic guitar and vocals, Claire’s innovative bass and vocal harmonies, Paul’s syncopation on drums and Dan's lush synth and heavy riffs on 2nd guitar, create a sound described by reviewers as "uniquely brilliant".

"a heavy-hybrid juggernaut, detonating a powerful amalgamation of prog and industrial tinged metal, politically charged rap and punk fuelled angst to deliver their own, swirling unique sonic stew." - (Anthony Gebhardt: Blank GC)
