your authority
don't mean shit to me
i will live and die by my rules
you're representative
of what i despise
can't tie me down
to be what you want
im not your property
you have no hold on me
i will live and die by my rules
you're representative
of what i despise
i'll hold my ground
only following my rules
MY RULES
MY RULES
i own my mind
i own this life
i break the rules
i won't abide
you have no spine
follow the hive
i'll live and die
by my own rules
i'd rather die
than follow a crowd
i'll only live
forever by my rules
Oddly, this record's pulverizing grooves make me think of a hardcore version of Dying Fetus' "Destroy the Opposition". The songs are finely tuned for maximum pit destruction, rotating through a beautiful array of drum beats, with the core one being a stumpy polka beat that just screams "circle pit". The Siouxsie & the Banshees cover is both surprisingly faithful and surprisingly not out of place. I hope the band explores that melodic direction a bit more. fyeahmetal

Relentless, nervy, snarling, thorny noise-punk, the debut full-length from this wonderfully gnarly Richmond, VA outfit. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2018
They ought to send all the song proceeds to Slayer for that first song. Thankfully they expand to their own sound for the majority of the rest of the album. Heavier hardcore fans are going to really dig this regardless. Bart
