What cruelty is done in the name of compassion.

Artist picture
post-industrial political protest music.
Combining an array of computer technology, samplers, and vintage synthesizers; Clockwerk creates a tightly rhythmic audio assault. Their motives are politically ambivalent, yet socially critical. Live performances are complimented by a charged video installation. They seek to arouse and incite their audience into a politically driven frenzy.

Story behind the song
In the middle of the 20th century, the popularity of the lobotomy as a means of treatment for a wide range of mental illnesses resulted in a staggering number of casualties. It is estimated that for every successful lobotomy, two others resulted in moderate to severe neurological damage. The procedure's major proponent, Dr. Walter Freeman, adapted the surgery so that it could be quickly performed with a common icepick. The flagrant barbarism of this technique alone should call the ethics of its practice into question, but its widespread use for treatment of criminal behavior, neurosis, and even disobedient temperment in children should inspire us question the ethics of a culture all too willing to unquestioningly accept it into common psychiatric use.
Lyrics
raise the blade direct the saw latex taut on fingers caressing convolutions sever the connections eyes eyes eyes eyes eyes that go dead instruments are cleaned in time with a breath lungs expand at a reflexive command heart will beat blood will flow pain is gone at the expense of the will incision will heal cells will mend mouth will be dry eyes will lie still anaesthetized can barely feel a blow to the head at the sockets of the eyes what cruelty is done in the name of compassion
