Hyggja | Chamber [INSURGENCY 2023]

“...The idea of humanity, when purged of all sentimentality, has the very serious consequence that in one form or another men must assume responsibility for all crimes committed by men and that all nations share the onus of evil committed by all others.“ Hannah Arendt, Organized Guilt and Universal Responsibility Following up on 2022’s “Allegories“, Insurgency continues its music curation series with “Crimes of the 20th Century“. The compilation explores untraditional portrayals of violence and examines relations between industrial music and perceptions of cruelty. The label and its invited musicians intend to oppose the weaponized usage of music by extremist groups; instead, “Crimes of the 20th Century“ invites listeners to reflect on collective responsibility for modern atrocity — as it is exhibited by a roster of contemporary experimental artists — within historical and psychological contexts.
