about

Music is very often a response or reaction to the world around it. It is nothing new, rock’n’roll, hip-hop, punk, rave and grunge where all in their way a response of dissatisfaction to the world in which they found themselves, a message for change or at least non-co-operation. And in a way Ignacio Peña comes from a similar place, and as the name of his forthcoming album "Songs For The Fall of an Empire" suggests, he may not be so much rebelling against it but he is at least documenting our times and creating its soundtrack.

With Usura is an evocative choral piece that wouldn’t seem out of place on a Karl Jenkins album. Music embracing such ideals, dealing with such narratives and story arcs is often found in the hands of metallers or progressive rockers, resulting all too often in something unlistenable or too full of its own importances.

lyrics

With usura the line grows thick
With usura is no clear demarcation
With usura no picture is made to endure nor to live with.
Its made to sell and sell quickly.

Usura is a murrain.
Usura taketh away.
Corpses are set to banquet at behest of usura.
Usura is a murrain
Usura taketh away
It slayeth the child in the womb 
Contra naturam
Corpses are set to banquet at behest of usura.
With usura.. and debt.
Corpses are set to banquet at behest of usura.
With usura..
Semper crescis
Amen
