A Vienna-based hardcore death crust band that dedicated their first album to honoring, and expanding the voice of the Mexican feminist movement and their fierce activist work for women's rights.
Today, Vita Detestabilis and Fiadh Productions are so happy to be able to give ‘Antipatriarchal’ the shape of a CD and continue supporting the feminist fight.
Part of the physical proceeds will be donated to Body, a Fondo Semillas program that seeks to guarantee access to health and physical and emotional integrity, as well as to eradicate structural sexist violence.

Notes on the artwork:
"The artwork is based on a picture from an unknown Mexican feminist protester on the 8th of March 2022. The picture shows the door of the Palacio de Gobierno de Monterrey, Nuevo León, México in flames. On a sign it can be read: “Que el privilegio no te nuble..” - “May the privilege not cloud you..”.
México is one of the places where femininicides and kidnapping of girls strike on a harrowing regular basis with total impunity, and where the feminist resistance is neededly and beautifully fierce. Their resistance has been an inspiration of courage, and of the possibility that another world is possible, even though we will need to fight as hard as the Mexican feminists.
On Antipatriarchal it can also be read “No perdonamos, ni olvidamos” from an iconic painting and motto on the occupied Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) building in 2020 by the members of the El bloque negro anarcofeminist group. This building was then transformed into a shelter for women. Symbolic and required act upon so much impune violence against women.
With this, we want to honor the Mexican feminist fight and expand their eco and courageous spirit across wherever we reach."
