avrian_obrien Crippling Alcoholism effortlessly suck you in to the darkest corners of the human mind.

This level of quality from an obscure unerground debut is absurd and they deserve so much more attention.

deviantel The perfect blend of noise rock, gothy post-punk, and mathcore moments. This is a fascinatingly gloomy album that visits some very dark places of human nature in explicit yet very poetic ways. The vocals most of all are out of this world. Musically and lyrically haunting, it is one of the best releases of 2022, along with the greats like Chat Pile and KEN mode. Favorite track: Please Stop Hurting Me, I'll Tell You Anything.

Heath Sousa Anthony's lyrical & writing progression is astounding. Period. When I thought he had already peaked, he releases this. You won't find anyone else in this time at his level. I promise. He will be a staple in modern poetry. Every song has you feeling something monumental. Danny's drums are a fantastic blend of modern metal with sporadic math patterns and steady beats that speed up to exciting fills. This album truly captures what it feels like to be a crippling alcoholic in it's worst form. 10/10 Favorite track: Sandpaper.

Beloved 05:36
The worst of us Live forever And the kindest souls Are swallowed whole By mouths in the floor Young blood feeds the old money Smell of new flesh on their breath Feel their hands on your waist and chest Creep the holes in your sunday dress Incests burrowing Under my skin Under your skin Devouring organs Domination It's their only languague It's their only nature Drag your skin across razors I am not your prince charming I am a long rope seeking necks And this is not your magic kingdom It's the hell between two deaths And with a God like this Who the fuck would want to exist? A love of self-punishment For the sake of my beloved family and friends I hope all goes dark in the end Blood on their hands They welcome it No, they worship it They never sleep And we serve in their waking dream Ceremony knife cuts through a red night sky Bull horns emerge to impale your first born Headless bodies dumped in a lake of dead whores Dance and dance away now With all the rage Of a thousand broken girls Sweat and sweat now Through your party shirt In a biblical rebirth You don't have to live if you don't wanna live It's just I would much prefer if you did You don't have to die if you don't wanna die There still are worlds of love in your eyes Countless worlds of love in your eyes Put down the knife I'll carry you back to our room Where there are miles and miles of bedsheets I'll softly tuck you in I'd dig a hundred graves for you And melt endless limbs

Sandpaper 05:29
I need somebody to fuck From behind when I'm drunk Leave and don't say "goodbye" Walk home alone late at night Open oceans of hurt Trading cum for self-worth Touch stove to fingers You only feel when you're burnt We don't have wants We have needs We need to see something bleed Preferably something weak, Beaten and diseased We all need bodies to fuck From behind when we're drunk Eyes never should meet Leave once it's complete And nothing moves without lust Old sin of the touch Soaks up every thought Drags the family to rot And nobody weeps for a dead whore Strangled Hands cuffed to a headboard Thoughts flood Like her sweat drops In the brothel For starved Carnivores Anger was my favorite feeling It was the rope To the top of the well Anger was my favorite feeling It was the light On the dungeon cell I miss that hurt We used to flood the earth And scortch the skies With stolen fire Stroll down main street And follow the river Till the sewer drains emerge That's where you'll find my body Bloated and full of worms You drown in an infinite crowd But nobody wants you to pull them down Oh no, What a lonely way to die What a lonely way to die It's like you're watching yourself Watch yourself Alone in, alone in your room Watch the door slam shut

Group Home 04:49
I am violence I am death I'm the voice in your head When you Slit your wrists And I'm pissed I am ski mask I am rope I'm the knife in your hand When you Slit your throat And I'm close I know you Want your skin back But you hurt somebody Close to me I know you Want your body back But you hurt somebody Close to me Get your skin back Want your skin back? Get your skin back Want your skin back? I wonder what it's like to feel what you feel I just don't have the imagination to make it feel real

Run away The monsters are here And they reek of lust Cup your hands And place over your ears Hide in the cupboard Snakes as long As a hospital wait Just like the nose On your wooden, toy face Snakes that hug Like a psych ward coat Squeezing the life Out your budding red rose Get out of this place Before it's too late Storm is underway Can't stave off these snakes Shaped like a noose Stay with you always Like childhood abuse Devils Haunting your throat Scheming Waiting Salivating Sexual violence That's what they wanna see Unspeakable violence That's what they paid to see Don't do what they say If you do You die anyway Don't do what they say If you do You die in agony And God never smiles Coldest of cold parents If he hates pleasure and sex Then why make us of flesh? And my old man said "Keep your heart close to your chest" And a stranger's swollen fingers Dance on your quiet lips "I always wanted to be adored" She thinks "I always wanted to be loved" "Just not like this" Edging at the edge of their seats Puddles of drool by their feet Blood-red, bestial heat It's the perfect scene And you hate how much You enjoy this filth So you rip your shirt And you whip yourself With your Father's punishing belt She said her body is "any man's property"

I'm hearing voices from the T.V I'm seeing faces in the walls And the voices say "Get a gun and kill them, Get a gun and kill them all" "Pain" They call it "pain" Let it wash away The sins of yesterday Let it cleanse your offenses

Someday soon They will break you They will pull out your teeth And lift up your fingernails And where will your God be then? Someday soon They will beat you They will cut off your cock And make your children watch Cause you're a wretched heathen And you'll curse And you'll curse Your family name And you'll spit at the skies Towards which you once prayed And you'll play, you'll play Their trecherous game And it's a shame It's a damn, damn shame That the body is so Sensitive You say what they want you to say It's only human It's only human You will spill your secrets after pain It's only human It's only human Bright Death is bright Death is the only heaven We have in this life Your boss With three commas Is making snuff films With your daughters Dump their bodies In the town water That bleed into Ocean of trauma And they dream Everything we see And they speak Everything we read Death before dishonor And other Stupid fucking motos And thery dream Everything we see And they speak Everything we read New Gods Killing old Gods Leaving their bodies Letting them rot Stitching their laws Into your arms Stitching them raw With no pain blockers Hogs Feed em' the world Feed em' the sun Feed em' the stars Feed em' the cosmos Feed em' it all I'll do anything You say They sent your mom To the firing squad And now she's gone Fucking gone So you're a son of a gunned Such a son of a gunned She's fucking gone She's gone

Hungry Time 04:34
I haven't slept a wink Since you crawled out of your grave And stood by my bedroom window Hands and throat embraced Spiders line my walls They dance through air Spinnning Hellish verses With strands from Your brown hair My stomach Is a burning village And my back aches Worse than a marriage Sweep your screams Under the rug Followed the bloodied yarn Out the dungeon Tummy aches And my lungs deflate And my tongue escapes So feast on me Feast of me I wont cry If you wont cry If I don't wake up Is it really such a lose? I think not Hollow world There is a devil There is a devil in all of us Some like to hurt Others like to be hurt The skies above Rain animal blood Approaching floods Locusts fill our lungs Tender die young Their bodies bake in the sun There's nobody left To share your bed Remember when We had gently thinned, Hand-woven skin That hugged our limbs? You're the reason I still can't let her in It was never enough To earn your love Whole arm goes numb Start to speak in tongues Chest comes undone Spitting swollen guts Wrists spilling blood Till it fills the tub It was never enough To earn your love
