Ansel__knight This band is a full on, auditory assault of pure retributive justice. Matt’s lyrics are really pertinent and rallying. And the musick behind em is just adding to the raw punk power. Like this band summoned the only circle pit ever seen in the Apohadion Theater. This album rocks!!

Cold Claw 01:14
[...] Glimmers of hope clouding your mind Agendas to uphold what is pure and what’s right But I’ll lift that curse There is no promise to break Because the Cold Claw no longer gives It takes [...]

Labelscar 01:09
Subject to blight of spirit Arteries empty of life Labelscar Has your glory faded- Faded away? Artifacts now covered in dust Rats left to scavenge The temple remains intact Adorned with melancholy Labelscar Haunted by an absence Cloaked in decay

Son of Beast 01:41
Against the skyline A darkened figure Now commands hounds to take form The amulet shimmers In faint rays of dusk Etching the path in your blood The scent that you sought Had led you astray Align primal will Wild and free Some slithering force From the pond to the north Skinwalking to run with Vvargaz It spun frozen wheels From beneath the Brook With skin woven under root None that shall be caught In traps they have laid Allude to the kill From which you’ll feed Between scents and nonsense You’ll savor to seek Some truth between teeth Along the edge of humanity The sign sent ‘cross creeks Shall summon Knight Thieves With glowing yellow eyes Beneath this midnight blue Prepare to hold feast

Indulge in forbidden knowledge Evil awaits in scriptures forgotten Off the top shelf, under your bed From the back page to your front door Follow hoofprints through hidden passage Conjure forth the ghost of Satan Secrets revealed through a psychic trace That your skeleton is safe in the Devil’s embrace Yes, you have a friend in Satan's Ghost For the night Black mist shall lift you from the cauldron As velvety palms guide your body through sin Seek to know by hand of filth Become possessed, let the blood spill Swear your allegiance to Satan’s Ghost Sacrifice! Display your power over another Shocking the soul of the victim Off the front page, through your back door Under the spell of the Dark Lord Now that you have sworn to the oath

about

Revenge Records (Osaka, Japan):
“U.Sポートランド産現行EVIL RAW D-BEAT HCグループ、2019年最新カセットEP!以前限定100本カセット・アルバムが入荷して好評だったこのグループ!その時も凝ったスリーヴが印象的でしたが今回もご覧の通りプラスチックをつかったブックレット形式のスリーヴが芸術的!何やらミステリアスなオーラを出しているグループですがサウンドは前作同様ホラーっぽい要素もある邪悪なリヴァーヴ咆哮Vo D-BEAT RAW HCで曲名もSatan's GhostやSon of BeastとあるのでメタリックではありませんがZOUO~ジャパニーズ・メタルパンク的なアプローチも多分にうかがえるパワフルな全4曲!現行SADISTやDEVIL MASTERお好きな方にもおススメの限定100本リリース!”

“Current EVIL RAW D-BEAT HC group from U.S. Portland, 2019 latest cassette EP! This group was previously popular with a limited edition of 100 cassette albums! The elaborate sleeve was impressive at that time, but as you can see, the booklet style sleeve using plastic is artistic! It is a group that has a mysterious aura, but the sound is also a horrible element like the previous work, the evil reverb D Vo D-BEAT RAW HC and the song name is Satan's Ghost and Son of Beast, so it is not metallic, but ZOUO ~ Japanese ・ A powerful 4 songs with a metal-punk approach! For those who like the current SADIST and DEVIL MASTER, 100 recommended releases!”

The lyrical themes throughout Slithering Forces are informed by explicitly anarchist principles, concentrating on the collapse of civilization and the intersection of the occult and supernatural manifestations with the mundane. Individual songs focus on redefining dignity in the midst of misanthropy; the stirring of emotional residue haunting decommissioned commercial spaces; lycanthropy as a Fortean current overlapping strange phenomena regional to Maine; satanic panic and demonic possession.

Savor the exotic rush of forbidden hardcore! Rupture the deathly rhythm of modernity through crucial reenchantment!
