Don’t believe them when they look you in the eye and tell you they’ve got your back. You're nothing but prey to them. Your fear, your rage, your insecurity, make you an easy target. They’ll pretend to speak your language, give form and voice to your rage, promise to elevate you over those you hate. Distracting you as they rob you blind. With every hungry glance they size you up, looking for how to control you.
Are you angry? Are you depressed? Do you want for more? Are you desperate? Are you hateful? They're coming for you.
Like callow wolves at the door.
Hungry to devour more.
Hollow eyes searching for easy prey to tear apart.
You never saw it coming. They weaponize your arrogance, make an idol of your hate, commodify your ignorance, and sell you back your rage.
Opens with a very melodic intro and an air of expectation for a big drop. The anticipation builds, and builds, and builds, and... doesn't disappoint! High energy delivery, sustained right to the end with an excellent balance of aggression, emanating from the drums, and calmness from the crystal-like vocals cutting through. darrenr3526
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
An excellent find and a wonderful addition to the melodeath/doom of the world. We can never have enough music of this quality. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
