Ripped right through the soul of the compound
Tore right through the hearts of the profound
Even the undeserving get knocked down
Immersed in hell but can’t discrown
Swallowed by the fire
The art of resilience always keep it moving
But life goes swiftly on for the overruling
Whilst those less fortunate struggle to catch a break
With all of it on the line and everything at stake
Why oh why oh my just why
Are things geared up to crumble one day
Injustice is served with no voice and no say
Not a thread of safety net and no reparations paid
Swallowed by the fire
Another day another victim at the hands of crooks
Not a single tear shed when the whole tower shook
Why do we still pretend that they’re anything like us
We’re failed and left for dead and they’ll never be fussed
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
Compelling metallic hardcore with an unusual, but welcomed take on vocals. Matching more of a sound akin to Type O Negative meets Integrity, it shreds through wonderfully varied powerful songs.
Roaring in scope, there are many moments of more traditional furiousity, but most of the album maintains an air of spectacle due to the vocals. Not theatric, but they add a presence to the album. The guitars are properly riff filled, and the drums carry everything along with battering precision. Lorenzo
