As a child, the liars present a version of the world to you so sanitized and incomplete, it might as well be fantasy. The police are your friends, the government works for you, anybody can be whatever they want. These platitudes are the very foundation of a whole rhetorical structure of half-truths, misdirection, and outright lies. The fiction is needed: their power rests on our belief, and if we truly knew what they said behind closed doors they know we would never acquiesce to their authority. They know that we’d see through their craven falsity. We’d tear down their fictional palaces. They would sacrifice any truth if it means they keep us under their thumbs.
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
