Fear is awake
In your bones and in your worn-out face
Leaving traces
In every thought you bear
The fear is awake
A little spark inside your mind
Leaving traces
On your carved out ways
One day we will fall
To fill the frozen ground
The last one's horse is pale
It’s written down like that
We fall We fail
Everything we do
Is made of doom
Just like humans do
It’s down in your eyes
The endless trails to nothingness
Sooner or later
We all are going to die
Fear is awake
The sadness of the universe
The end of days
Where sick and dead unite

One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy. stevstemac
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
