Fall of Efrafa with Watership Down: The downfall of fascism through music

Abstract

I propose to analyze the music from the group Fall of Efrafa as a power of political reformulation, not just from the literary composition, but also at the harmonic composition. The band’s work consists of three albums, which form a trilogy, where the anti-fascist and revolutionary thinking, including the human’s life style, are central. To reflect of the music’s action at the politics, I use Agamben’s thinking in La musica suprema, while reading Plato’s Republic, that music is political and the politics are musical. It’s impossible to escape from a reading, at that same political direction, of the Richard Adams’ Watership Down, in which the band not only takes its name, but also base in the romance’s mythology and narrative to concept their compositions.
