“’We Will Burn’ is pure misanthropy,” said Monolord drummer Esben Willems. “It deals with the disgust for what we humans do to ourselves and to our own planet. No matter how clear the results are to us, we seem to be selectively ignorant to the fact that we are a self-destructive breed and that we are digging each other’s graves. It’s not a matter of if, but when. We WILL burn and we’re heading there at blinding speed. On top of that, mentioning that fact is severely threatening to a lot of people – actually to the vast majority – so any attempt to slow down that man-made apocalypse is beaten down on, hard.”
