Is It Dangerous for a band to sing almost "only" about Bitcoin?

Take a look, if you wish!

Listen for yourself and tell me what you think

We thought a lot about that too in the beginning of our journey, but we decided to come clean about our position, knowing that this might scare some away and bring others closer and we are happy with the results by now.

But we have some strategies to bring newbies to our music and to Bitcoin as well in the future...

Hi man! I put this under Bitcoin because it's the most prominent theme on the discussion on my view, but for sure it could be under music discussions!

That's the price we pay for making music about Bitcoin!

Cheers!

Definitely!

Here are some examples in this direction

Besides the images, there is no reference to Bitcoin directly in the song.

Somebody just listening would not know the song is about bitcoin being the unforeseen guest!

This is just a musical version of a speech wen viral some time ago

No reference to Bitcoin

LFG!






Recently, a user on NOSTR reached out to Annonymal with a thoughtful warning: that it might be risky for a band to focus too heavily on a single subject.

The comment came in response to a post where we expressed how fulfilling it is to write lyrics about #Bitcoin—a topic that lies at the heart of Annonymal’s mission and musical output.

First and foremost, we want to thank the person for sharing this perspective. We genuinely appreciate the concern and take it seriously. There’s no offense taken—only respect for open dialogue.

That said, we’d like to use this moment to share some of our thoughts with those who follow us, both on this topic and a few others that connect with it.

A Deliberate Choice

When Annonymal was first conceived, this very question was front and center:

How would Bitcoiners—and people in general—respond to a band that writes music about Bitcoin? Even if we explored other themes as well, how would the Bitcoin-focused songs be received?

From the start, we understood there would be a range of reactions. Some people would be intrigued, others indifferent—or even opposed. That’s always been fine with us. We’ve never set out to please everyone, and both criticism and praise are welcome parts of the journey.

Every Band Has Its Lane

It’s important to note that nearly every musical group—especially in the metal scene—works within a thematic lane. That’s normal.

Some bands sing almost exclusively about hedonism, spirituality, fantasy, political resistance, romance, philosophy, or youthful rebellion. Whether they’re underground or world-famous, they often revolve around a core narrative or worldview.

We see no issue with that. In fact, thematic focus can sharpen the artistic vision and deepen the impact.

Now, why center our music around Bitcoin?

Because for us Bitcoin isn’t just a financial invention. It’s a movement. A philosophy. A revolutionary rethinking of trust, power, and value. When you look closely, Bitcoin touches so many different domain—economics, computer science, politics, sociology, mathematics, philosophy, and more.

This gives us a nearly infinite well of inspiration.

Some Annonymal tracks, like "As Government Dies", address Bitcoin head-on.

Others, like "Think Before You Post", don’t mention it explicitly at all—but still reflect the values and ideas that flow from the Bitcoin ethos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI2X2Cax0io

For us, it’s not about narrowness. It’s about coherence.

Everything we write fits within a broader story: the story of Bitcoin, its characters, its cultural ripple effects, and how it reshapes the way we view the world.

We believe that just as Bitcoin will be a major source of economic and philosophical insight in the years ahead, it will also inspire waves of creative and artistic expression.

And we’re here for it.

Annonymal is not interested only in music but in every way through which we can spread Bitcoin related content.

This post contains a link to a concept video called "EXIT FIAT"

Hope you to enjoy it!

Music

One of the nicest tasks we have in Annonymal is to write pro-Bitcoin lyrics to our songs.

I will share you an example of an unfinished lyrics for the next song we are recording to see what you guys think of it.

Horns ur for Satoshi!

Name:
The Highest Stake

Lyrics:
My first name was never Satoshi 
But by now, this must be how you’ve come to know 
The creator - The guardian of truth—by consent, decentralized. 
A demand. 
The rise of a different time. 

Keys - Hash - Nodes - Blocks

CheckLockTimeVerify - UTXO
ECDSA - SATS you can call your own.

Bitcoin is - You cannot take it from me
Bitcoin is - You cannot take it


My last name is not Nakamoto 
But by now, this must be how you’ve come to know 
The architect The Guardian of truth—by design, anonymized. 
Here I stand.
To watch the system die.

Pins - BIPS-  SCRIPTSIG

CheckSequenceVerify - fees and hashrate
ScriptPubKey - Bitcoin’s our highest stake

Bitcoin is - You cannot take it from me
Bitcoin is - You cannot take it - No, you can't!


Bitcoin Heavy Metal Lyrics Example

Lyrics

I am the soul behind the mask
But my secrets are revealed
Wrote them all in PDF and spread them for free
To anyone willing and able to read

I'm a dream of ancient times
I am one of a kind
No control can lock me in
I did read: "No rule, no sin"

I am the hands behind the wheel
Where all forces are applied to change the world
I have the reasons and the will to make it strong
Against all censorship and more they're planning on

I am the code behind the attack
Against which they never never never will prevail
I am the ghost behind their back
A faceless character that vanishes with the wind

Private keys open so many doors
Sovereignty belongs to all
Every peer who holds #bitcoin will fight the system back
Encryption reach its goal

I am
I am the soul
I am
I am the soul behind the mask
