Everything has rubbed off
And life‘s now got me where it wanted me all along
From birth to death being marked
A deal across the counter
Smile and nod
Bloom to rot
The glare of the vacuum in our eyes
Even indecision is decision in disguise
Concrete inversion of life
What’s true is always just a twisted moment of the false
Minds at the edge of a knife
Our wish to sleep ineffable
The spectacle
We try forming a sentence
Believe we can’t be fooled
Lies go down so easy
When you want them to be true
There is no freedom
Determination lost
Every inch of living
Now comes at a fucking cost
Ramblings
Of an unhinged mind
Are these the flashes
I’m seeing before I die
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
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
