Liner Notes

I wanted to open the game quite fast, so I dished out something that comes very naturally from me. Chaotic and somewhat dissonant black/death/grind amalgam. The lyrics can be read a bit political, as it is burning hatred against the scum who are leading this world into the flames.

Oh yeah, I have a new guitar! It's an ESP LTD MH-1000, armed with the extremely aggressive and violent Warpig by Bare Knuckle Pickups as a bridge pickup. Needless to say I love it. And yes, that is HM-2 you can hear grinding in the left channel...

Lyrics

Ashen shores
Ground to dust
Painted by
Golden offerings

Bloodred dawn
Crucify the elite
Night of vengeance
Crucify the elite

Mural of shame
Deception fanfare
Raised by liars
Greed-driven scum

Bloodred dawn
Crucify the elite
Night of vengeance
Crucify the elite

Straight to the point with no fluff. Dig it.
And I'm with @iwilleatyou on the reverb working here; for some reason it just... does. Honestly, I'd almost like to hear that reverb fed into a delay and then into another reverb just at the end of each line - like, give the last syllable a short repeat that's more atmosphere than slapback, if that makes sense. But that might be bordering on "fluff"... 😛 😆

Well shit......I made a request in another one of your songs to ease back on the reverb for the vocals and have them blend in a bit more but they work good here. This is awesome!

@waltermosch 1w

Ha, great lyrics. And the delivery is perfect. Again I'm jealous of your voice. Much to good.

@bxphane 2w

Chaotic, but chaotic good! I love the old Napalm Death vibe in your voice! The black metal voices on the chorus sounds awesome too!

@hmorg 2w

Aaaaahhhhhh, the filth! The absolute grimy goodness that's gushing out of my speakers right now! So good! As some people have already mentioned, the bass is absolutely gnarly! What did you use for it?

@bradbrubaker 2w

The retch after "greed-driven scum" and the sorta breakdown that follows is narsty. Good work!

@povosos 2w

This is some of the grittiest sounding stuff I've ever heard. My goodness me

@virallode 2w

Metal AF, grincore lyrics and this absolutely riffs, very very good start

@hookahsmoke 2w

\m/
hell yeah we got riffs

@whispermouse 2w

I love anything with an HM-2 in it. Great sounding vocals and absolutely CRUSHING guitar!

@nadine 3w

Thank you, I really needed this scream. You took the energy from punk rock but blasted it into death metal, both lyrically and musically. A big blergh from me!

@howthenightcame 3w

hello my friend, i'm so happy to see you back here. what an opener - the break at 1m10s is sick. love the hard panned guitars, but the bass guitar steals the show - wtf is happening?!

@lamerabbit 3w

Hypnotizing energy. What a blend! Those guitars really sound great, whatever it is, it sounds like something is pushed just right amount over the limit.

@informationisfree 3w

🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥

@kembole 3w

What the af is that bass doing, thats BRUTAL. This kicks ass. Love the ending for two reasons. One, it was the perfect ending and two, it means that I can listen to it again.

@arkka 3w

Perfect no-nonsense toast! Sounds like you mean it! I bet this would absolutely kill live. Great production too, I like how the guitars sound like a tape pushed to saturation (or maybe it's the FAWM cassette player making me hear that.) Anyways, it's a great sound.

@b3nut 3w

When merely eating the rich just isn't cutting it? ;) Banging track!!!! Brutal AF!!!

@bithprod 3w

Spot on, both lyrics and arrangement. My volume was set to Max, so I got a bit of a shock once I pressed play. lol. Perfect grindcore.

@sapient 3w

Oh hell YES!
Start as you mean to go, eh?
Love the energy, love the tones, love the message.
Strong grind vibe running thru this - the likes of Misery Index and Gadget spring to mind.
One of those "yes, I would buy the album!" songs. More please!

@cblack 3w

Daaaaaaaamn! This is tasty!

Also jealous of that HM-2. I want to buy a HM-2w, but can't afford one right now.

This is a solid track. Brutal as fuck. 🤘
