Don’t you dare ask why so-called patriots turn their backs on you when the state comes, masked and armed, raining violence upon your street. And don’t waste your time wondering where conspiracy theorists are when the very real machinations of the powerful strip you of your rights. These liars and cowards have covered up their hatred of you with the thinest veneer of fraudulent integrity, wrapped up in torn and tattered flags, feigning grandiosity, when all they really want is to watch you suffer and die. One cannot cherish freedom while fetishizing violence and fear. So never allow yourself to be surprised by the capacity for cruelty of those who claim the mantle of righteousness and decency. Their morality is counterfeit. Their decorum is a lie. Merely a masquerade to hide their one true goal: their boot on your neck.
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
It's a cool journey. Beautiful atmospheric blackened doom ambient combo. Sometimes like Pink Floyd playing funeral doom. Hypnotic album from Hypnotic Dirge records. Wow! Dmitry Nevozhay
