The clouds separate
as rain pours down from a blackened sky
the time has come to punish those who claim non-human life
war for land and money, war for the sake of war
commodifying life
has pushed humanity to doom's door
violent retribution raining from the sky
no more fucking silence
reclaiming precious life
I refuse to submit
refuse to partake
You slaughter to consume
I turn the other cheek
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
