Lead singers Corporate and Avenger Adawee the Wind have undeniable presence and command they are the perfect vehicles to deliver the Corporate Avenger's messages. The band takes aim at Andrew Jackson's role in the massacre of Cherokee tribes, and draws the following comparison, "If Hitler was on the $20 bill/how would the Jews feel?/Trail of tears." The best song, and most over the top of the bunch, however, is the slamming "Jesus Christ Homosexual." "He made us in his own image/Now listen to what I say/Then it's a possibility that Jesus Christ was gay." This song departs from the band's rap-rock style and thrusts forward in pure, frenetic, and in-your-face rock fashion. Another controversial, but very choice, cut is the intense "20 Bill," which is sure to trigger heated opposition. "It's time for you to love one another/It's time for you to recognize your brother/It's time to stop killing our mother/It's time for us to care for each other," lead singers Corporate and Avenger Adawee the Wind bellow. The creeping rap-industrialized "The Bible Is Bullshit," with its church-choir intro, presents a view that's been around for some time: that the Bible is a subjective piece of work written by man that fosters fear, hate, and war. Corporate Avenger takes Christians to task for their enslavement of Native Americans on the rebellious and guitar-crunchy "Christians Murdered Indians." The invigorated song is an assault of rap, rock, and industrial with a touch of goth. This rap-rock outfit is smart, progressive, and supremely radical, and is bound to upset, enrage, enlighten, and inspire audiences with its unique brand of anti-organized religion/government rap-rock. And Corporate Avenger and its album Freedom Is a State of Mind is such a case. Įvery so often, a band comes along that warrants extensive exploration of its lyrics.
