It’s endless. No respite from the uncertainty. Our lives have the stability of houses built on sand. It’s everywhere. No one is safe. A whole population in perpetual decline. Anxiety our sacred religion. Loneliness our most venerated god. Bound by frayed ends of time and trapped by these walls, labyrinthine in their construction, which we designed to keep us isolated from each other because we've embraced a death cult of individuality. Blindly worshiping a pantheon that demands of us a hatred of community. That admonishes us to see any human connection as the ultimate weakness. Demanding, instead, we work ourselves to death. Deceiving you with doctored images of a mythical past. Enticing you with greatness, so they can profit off your pain. The same people that steal your life are the ones who tell you your agony makes you strong. For what could be more noble than to suffer and die for them, alone?
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
