Hollowed 04:20
Dissolved, euphoria fades Epiphany of new reality Emptied, drained out Vibrant colors swirl to black The memories past Haunt the present Hollowed shell A life unknown Sinking further down and down A gravity of no exclusion Darkened stronghold on the mind A straitjacket of self-containment The mindset present Foreshadows future Mirrored spiral of descent Now hollowed, you rise to the surface Red saltwater fills wound and mind Awake now as clouds rain to sky

Blood on the battlefield Restless in demise No dog of mercy Your life has no enterprise The great heathen army Given the curse and gift of the life of death Breath fades away Bound away from stray Purpose lacks from light Purpose lacks from life The great heathen army Given the curse and gift of the life of death

We just keep on doping and doping the blood of our children To silence them And shut them up And if we keep on suppressing, suppressing our children's emotions We'll shut them up We'll build up pressure And we'll sit back watching exploding, exploding, as children become incapable and sick and tired Of this problem that's gone unsolved And they turn into shooters, and rapists, and mass-fuckin-murderers because we all just sit here Doping and doping the blood of our children A biological war's been waged by us within the brains and veins of our children Creating weapons of chemical suppression and reliance which turns into unchecked violence Prescriptions for blue little ovals with magic answers in small orange bottles With a list of side effects longer than the damn receipt And this deceit that we can defeat depression by suppression and calmed emotions Will pull us under And tear asunder the lives of our children who dope themselves With magic ovals

about

These songs are the culmination of over four years of work. More specifically, the concept of this EP has been in the works since the summer of 2019, when we recorded and released our self-titled single. This was intended to be the first track we recorded for a demo EP, but due to people moving, gigs coming up, and of course, Covid, recording got put on the back burner. It wasn't until April of 2021 that we began recording again, this time with friend and fellow musician Nick Brown.

We recorded three tracks in total, including a re-recording of Hollowed, which span the length of our band's existence. "The Great Heathen Army" was one of the first songs we ever wrote, in a basement reeking of cat piss and cigarettes, while "Vicious Cycle" is one of our newest songs as of the release of this EP.

We're so glad that we finally get to present to you a real release, we hope you enjoy it!
