Stonewall (Remastered, Transgressive Cover)

Ripping through the walls of binary society Suppressed by the raids of police tyranny A village organized and dared to make a stand Equal treatment, equal freedom, these were their demands Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go quiet Silent voices unheard for since thousand years ago Exploded in a moment that oppressors couldn’t hold The traitors tried to grab all that were there just to be But that became the last straw before the uprising Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go quiet Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go QUIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

"Per Scientiam ad Justitiam" (Through Science to Justice) was the motto of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute of Sexual Science) founded by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1919. It was the first sexology research center in the world and pioneered care, understanding, and knowledge pertaining to queer individuals, particularly in regards to trans healthcare.

In 1933, the Institute was raided by Nazis and much of their work was destroyed.

It's 2025 and I'm trans and angry at the genocides being committed against us and so, so many others in the world right now.

This EP is dedicated to all those who have been victims of these atrocities and all those who are yet to be.

The fight is far from over.

Most guitars and vocals were recorded during live streams on Twitch throughout February, March, and April.
