The World as It Is Today

by Art Bears

The World as It Is Today cover art

The final album from the Rock in Opposition pioneers is a scathing, fiercely Marxist critique of capitalist exploitation set to jarring avant-prog. Art Bears utilizes Dagmar Krause's theatrical vocals and Chris Cutler's aggressive percussion to create a remarkably dark, highly dissonant, and anxious musical protest that constantly teeters on the edge of noise rock.
