Animal Liberation are still at the forefront of Conflict\u2019s collective minds, giving a voice to the voiceless on songs such as \u2018A Mother\u2019s Milk\u2019 and \u2018Shut The Fuck Up\u2019, whilst their anger at world governments will never dissipate. \u201cIt\u2019s the same old system and the same old song, forty years later and they\u2019ve still got it wrong,\u201d bellows Colin, still with complete conviction on \u2018The Collusion Exclusion\u2019. This anger, alongside themes of personal loss, environmental issues and those \u2018profit over people\u2019 billionaires like Bezos, Musk and Trump, find Conflict at their most inspired and invigorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018This Much Remains\u2019 also features an appearance by the late Benjamin Zephaniah on new single \u2018Cut The Crap\u2019. Benjamin\u2019s relationship with Conflict goes right back to the infamous Brixton Academy gig in 1987 where he performed with the band and it\u2019s right that his voice is found here, with additional lyrics by recent addition to the band line-up, dual vocalist Fiona Friel (formally of Coventry punks Dragster).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBenjamin is a legend, and I really felt a weight of responsibility when writing the adjoining lyrics to this song,\u201d admits Fiona. \u201cI had some of his books, so I went to peruse through them and started with \u2018Windrush Child\u2019 as I felt the subject matter would tie in well.&nbsp; Immediately I saw the line \u201cI am history\u201d and that\u2019s all I needed. I put the book straight down and wrote and wrote and wrote. So much so, once in the studio I had to cut over half of what I had written. I hope I\u2019ve done him proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch the \u2018Cut The Crap\u2019 video featuring Benjamin Zephaniah <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NMjaFgs6PZs\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018This Much Remains\u2019 is the sound of a band that continues to surprise and progress, decades after it first begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMusically we wanted it to evolve from the last records but still have elements of that classic Conflict angry sound that thousands of people fell in love with,\u201d summarises guitarist Gav King. \u201cThis album will not disappoint the diehard supporters and should garner a new wave of activists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConflict are stronger than ever,\u201d adds Colin Jerwood. \u201cand more relevant than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This much remains. We are one.
