    6 Track EP on a surf blue cassette. Limited to only 100 copies!

    Each cassette is loving jammed into a vintage lunch sack (hand numbered), wrapped with the greatest of care, and jettisoned into the universe like Spock at the end of Wrath of Khan. From there an order of blind monks coats it in a protective meringue-like substance and whispers obscenities at each package. After that the postmaster general sets fire to it in front of 3 starving orphans and *POOF* like magic it appears on your front stoop.

End Over End 01:40
show me what i don’t wanna see and i don’t wanna be me don’t wanna breath strangled, frozen in time she comes every night to take my life sleepless, i can’t close my eyes i die every night a thousand times hex me, my teeth rotting out i tear at my skin to find a way out you can slit my throat to make amends and drag my entrails out staring, out my window i see behind vacant eyes guilty they scream her face, on my tv screen if you kill yourself you will be free hanging, my floor blackened now spiraling down in darkness i drown hag me, take the life from me and even in death i’m trapped in this dream you can slit my throat to make amends and drag my entrails out end over end

trapped in a world that looks like hell its funny just how far we fell we beg, we cry, we plead we beg on broken knees and pray to god from down in hell my mind washed away with all this blood i'm looking forward to a 1000 year flood the rooks all fat and fed on all the pain we shed surfing our entrails to our grisly end surfing through this downward spiral counting the track marks on my soul life is getting cheap and i really need some sleep these hungry years they take their toll my mind washed away with all this blood i'm looking forward to a 1000 year flood the rooks all fat and fed on all the pain we shed surfing our entrails to our grisly end

King Rat 02:23
born of infected stock king rat surveys his lot a history of rape and greed we tangle in a knot not knowing we are caught feed off ourselves in sleep as we claw up the heap the prize a pit that stands so tall i’d break my jaw to eat it all my stomach tearing at the seams if i could have it all, if i could have it all latch down with swollen jaw i break my every law profit from pain oh what a game i cloak myself in pride my crown is made of lies your flesh will build my home your young will raise my throne i pray i die alone blind, deaf and all alone the king impaled, bound by entrails and i will sleep upon my throne our kind will rot down in the dark no one will know our parasite heart if it must end than end with me what better way to cure disease no more than grease upon the mirror and no one will know we were ever fucking here

Coldbringer 03:10
a flash of light turned the world to endless night endless cold eden fell to ash and bone the wheat did burn as the herd ate of their young and their dead ground their bones to make their bread staggering blind through the dead heart of all that man made and now stands a grave with every night new cries ring out a howl on the wind he leaves only skin we kneel, faithful behold his grace proudly tearing our flesh, our gift his jaw twisting into a smile hurting, longing all left behind a flash of light turned the world to endless night endless cold eden fell to ash and bone the king did come to guide us from our throne in to the heap and now this rock can rest in peace

Underground 02:38
you're out at the bar late one saturday night walking alone you're drunk from all the pints eyes shot red so fucked you're seeing twice can't find your way you're blinded by headlights stumble upon a door you open with all your might follow down stairs what you see is such a fright a bunch of CHUDs drinking beers down by the keg dancing and moving to shitty EDM the place is packed and all the dudes are dicks the girls don't like you cause you're not their kind of sick its lookin' like there's gonna be a fight and worst of all the drinks are overpriced the CHUDs come up from the underground saturday night walkin' down the streets they're lookin' for a fight turnin' humans into CHUDs on sight an army of braindead fucks fill the night the TV news has nothing much to say i just pray that officer Goodman comes to save the day a feast of flesh becomes this human zoo what makes you think that this isn't true disease is spreading like the flu what makes you think that this isn't true CHUDs are coming after you and they're gonna dine, gonna dine, gonna dine on you

Crash & Burn 04:24
nuts and bolts, tearing steel slow as life, nothing's real the cabin breaks, into daylight blind and breathless, into the white a tearing sound as loud as god as every surface's clawed strapped to a falling star and everything just falls apart a world once big and bright sits small from the heart of night down the drain i whip and thrash as i become no more than ash cascades, pale and white cascades, of a dying light slow descent, with land in sight and landing now there's no daylight breath held, an eternity as they watch what became of me strange faces on the screen when their cheers turn to a scream the slow cascade of life sits still against the sky no words, no thought, no breath as they fight just to make sense two minutes, burned in deep a void stuck on repeat a void stuck in the air that smoke just frozen there so now, begin again when nothing broke will mend flashbacks, all sour and scorn as old loves will bear new thorns so this is what they call free fall so this is all a crash and b u r n

about

"It starts as a fun campy drive-in monster movie and ends as an intense Lucio Fulci film. Had me from beginning to end." -Maximum Rock N Roll

"Seven tracks of tense, angular punk rock from these Chicago, IL locals. The vocals are pretty anguished and there are a lot of interesting guitar phrasings throughout the cassette..." -Razorcake
