Tormented by thoughts of you
I've grown cold as time proceeds
desolation clouds my mind and strife leaves me on my knees
there's no escape
from this never ending tragedy
utter desperation
i will not fall under your ways of escapism
the intoxication that shelters your mind
will not tatter my sacred soul
trapped inside these walls of loneliness
rejected for my abstinence
forever chained to my grief
a slave to the poison running through your veins
of that I choose to be free
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. easygreasy
This is passionate and inspiring. It's a damn shame this group released such little music. For me, this is one of the all-time best edge metal demos. Reunion, please. \m/ xCHICKEN SANDWICHx
