Push me down to the ground
Hold me there until I give in
This hollow hope inside of me
Wants it all to change
But will it ever, will it ever go away
I will never be free from all this pain
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
Locked away for so long I can’t see
Just a shadow of me
Just a little black hole on a typical street
And I breath away the shackles, chant away the restraints
no more delusion, no more hate
I live in this question each and every day
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
Locked away for so long
Just a shadow of me
Never felt a sense of relief
When I was finally free

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
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
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
