"Join the Chant" by Nitzer Ebb is a song that seems to be a commentary on the power of propaganda and blind obedience. The repeated words and phrases of "lies, gold, guns, fire," along with "muscle and hate" create a sense of manipulation and brainwashing. The mentioning of churches and books being burned reinforces this message, suggesting that even knowledge and faith are being destroyed in favor of blind obedience.
The song also suggests a sense of violence and aggression, with its references to guns and fire. The repeated phrase "join in the chant" almost feels like a call to arms, encouraging people to participate in this violent and aggressive behavior.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the dangers of blind obedience and the power of propaganda to manipulate and control people.

I was a club DJ back in those days. The firs time I ever played this for an audience which had never heard of Nitzer Ebb.....people lost their freaking minds.

@tameracz
I kept recycling this band and indoctrinating younger generations.
The reaction on the floor was always so visceral, it brought a smile to my face.
@paulgoblet7393

@joelashadali
I'm 56yo and this song transports me immediately back to those late 80s club days. Think this was released in 1987. I saw them open for Dm in 88.
@z822.
I'm a few years younger than you, but that's exactly how I first heard them too in 88. They used one of their songs in the new Firestarter movie, which brought me here to listen to this one.
@SL-we3qw
They opened for Depeche Mode's Violator tour in 1990. I was there. I'm just reliving my youth here. However, I consider this synth music to be the origins of EDM, which I absolutely love.
