Metal Classical Rocks seeks to help fellow metal and rock fans connect to classical music in a familiar way. This channel explores the intersectionality of classical and rock genres.

It's a tragedy that Julius Eastman's work isn't better known. It's a tragedy that he himself doesn't still survive. Some of his known works are not well recorded yet. For the works that do exist, I strongly recommend seeking them.

Note from the composer:

"A reminder to those who think they can destroy liberators by acts of treachery, malice, and murder... Like all organizations, especially governments and religious organizations, they oppress in order to perpetuate themselves. Their methods of oppression are legion. But when they find that their more subtle methods are failing, they resort to murder. Even now in my own country, my own people, my own time, gross oppression and murder still continue."

All credit to @mondayeveningconcert for this beautiful metal performance. There's a companion piece that is a prelude for vocals also.
