No/Más have premiered a new song titled “Ley Indígena.” This track is from the band’s new album, “No Peace,” which will be released on March 13.
Vocalist Roger Rivadeneira commented:
“This song was inspired by the indigenous people of my home country, Ecuador. ‘Ley indígena’ translates to ‘indigenous law,’ a right recognized by the Ecuadorian constitution. While its boundaries often conflict with national law, it’s commonly invoked through protest or community justice.
When writing the song, I used the example of the city of Cuenca, where you’ll find signs that say if a thief is caught, they’ll be burned alive. As extreme as that sounds, people are taking justice into their own hands — sometimes it’s the only way to keep peace in a corrupt and dangerous environment. This was my favorite song to write on the album, and it encapsulates the idea that sometimes, without violence, there can be no peace.”
Guitarist John Letzkus added:
“I wrote the song to see what Napalm Death meets Sepultura might sound like.”
