A sludgy verse mixed with a towering harmony-laced chorus and a powerful, thundering instrumental end, False Heroes, lyrically is aimed at the institutions of old and those who continue to prop them up. Originally called Marble Ghosts, the name was changed when the band realized that it was the perfect name for the band itself.

In the current culture, where some believe we should return to a golden past, False Heroes counters that with a resounding NO. The song seeks to eviscerate male privilege, divisive hateful religious figures, but most of all, the ghosts of the past, still seen as trailblazers and nation builders. Inspired by the dismantling of controversial statutes worldwide, but specifically, the downing of the statue of John A. MacDonald, Canada’s first PM and the architect of the residential school system, False Heroes is a warning against romanticizing and celebrating figures whose mindsets were at their core harmful and led in many cases to abusive and criminal acts.
