https://youtu.be/vB58VtckKsc?list=PL2D684CF3A9D8E8E2
Romanian balkan/crossover/metal band DIRTY SHIRT released a new lyric video for the song "Hoții/The Thieves". It is a protest against the widespread corruption that plagues the Romanian political class. With an atypical structure and a modern hardcore-industrial-metal sound, the song is partially inspired by Romanian folk music, the same as their latest album "Dirtylicious", available HERE.. The video was produced by Cristian Bălănean (OM Creatives), who is also a guitar player in the band.
In the 27 years since the 1989 Revolution, corruption has spread to every level of Romanian society. Data provided by the National Anti-corruption Directorate (NAD) reveal that between 2001 and 2014 almost 10,000 persons were indicted, more than a third of them holding key positions in central and local public institutions (presidents, ministers, senators, MPs, magistrates, etc.). There was a rapid growth of cases between 2009 and 2014 as almost 2,000 persons were sentenced for corruption.
The combination of incompetence, ignorance and corruption led to the tragic event of October 30, 2015 when 64 people lost their lives and over 100 were injured in the devastating fire that broke out at the Colectiv club in Bucharest during the concert of Goodbye to Gravity.
