Aaron Spectre - Create the Future

Support: https://drumcorps.bandcamp.com/album/better-days

In this year of things falling apart, Drumcorps goes leaner & meaner, keeping a certain tenderness & melodic sparkle. There's only one way, and so we hear Aaron picking up scream duties for the first time, as well as the rest of the instruments. The transition from the old days of hyper-sampling is complete, and now the mashup forces are focused on deconstructing original work as soon as it's made. Build to destroy, to remake anew.

There's an ocean of harsh noise, electronic textures, sub-bass & jungle breaks, but all elements are concise & to the point, serving the song first. It's all woven carefully into the flow, built into the tunes as integral elements of a whole.

Thematically it's a willingness to engage with the darkest reality, but an outright refusal to yield to cynicism - essentially hardcore punk filtered through a diversity of experience and influence. A soundtrack for our remaining time in late-stage capitalism. For fans of hardcore, metal, d-beat, noise, and electronic soundsystem culture alike, there's common ground, and a way forward. Isn't what it's all about?

Better Days

support: drumcorps.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-living

If you're making music at this particular time in history, you have two options only: the purest, most hedonistic & escapist dance music, or the gnarliest, feistiest heavy punky spirit. This record is the latter.

Here it's done with a million layers of drums, noise, detuned guitars, distortion, melody & a certain sweetness. Some tunes are slow & heavy, a new addition, and some are lightning fast as always. Elements of many heavy genres are present, but it's diverse and free. Styles are blended together even within the same tune - from hardcore punk & neocrust, black metal & mathcore, with breakcore, drum & bass, & jungle-rooted electronic music as the unifying glue.

Artwork has been carefully selected to fit the music, a full piece of work unto itself. It's a beautiful collection of 35mm & medium format photography, sometimes glitched after the fact - electric feedback & film grain interacting or clashing, depending on your point of view - all shot from the same real life experiences which formed the music.

Can something be apocalyptic and energetic at the same time? Let's find out, for we must stay focused on the days ahead. Vibe-wise it's got a lot of the crustacean spirit, with eyes to the future. Find the good way, regardless. That's really the only option isn't it?

surely they knew

surely they knew
deep true fear

to conquer the distance
scar the land
miles & miles
lonely & sad

get what you give
reap what you sow
so far from heaven
contrapasso

slash & burn
motives are clear
when all is ashes
where's the frontier?

the last stage
mine us all
then castle walls
into the fall

we pay our debts sometime

take this pain
time we're given
the way out of hell
is to fight for the living

intake & then decide
all real in this world 
got nowhere to hide

it comes
with market force
bearing gifts
like a trojan horse

with words
you want to hear
mine burn
every frontier

co-opt won't stop
same game same end
don't speak friend

changing face
at neural speed
whatever works
to get what we need

demonstrated now
but still play the fool
change that style
but we see you

clearer than ever

we the creatures of earth
charge you with crimes against everything
every living thing versus the burn
how do you plead?

orders
for the shareholders
just orders
heard that one before

we the creatures of earth
reject your view
that we're all as psycho as you
the rate's about 1%
coincidence?

we the creatures of earth
give you brand new orders
8 billion years in the hague
you deserve worse
but we deserve better

known my whole life
two ways fight or owned
walking dead or alive

cult divides
real from fake
speak no lies

call me heretic
throw stones
or kick them down the road
manifest their destiny
or cut & grow

time's up
been drinking from a poison cup
we're gonna see
the real end of history

hold hands
out here the road ends
rediscover
we'll need each other

can't run
can't hide
futurcide
can slow
can grow
can scrape a life

my friends
we fight in every dimension
seed sword & pen
for whoever's left

can't run
can't hide
futurcide
can slow
still grow
gotta try

no time
for those ways

no and never

stabbed in the heart
from first moment
deceived til shroud
falls to ground

"when you're old..."
what are the odds?
the story you been sold
when you say it

i just stare
see me
but i'm not there
i'm in the place
with the trees
 
i will not acclimatize
to a way of lies
if quo is poison
count me out

always and forever

solidarity, the only mask you wear
bout that praxis?
you don't care?!

it's in the air tonight like genesis
how did you become eugenicists?
we take care of everyone 
no exceptions to this

"poor you" they say
they drop dead the next day
unforeseen circumstances
take my chances?
  
i've seen the world, it's cool
how bout we clean the air in school?
someone's cleaning theirs, guess who?
there's your class war! tf is wrong w/you??!
 
ngnm no fake world bastards
get the data, make the choice
all the rest?

Aaron Spectre - Decrypt the Signals

Support: https://drumcorps.bandcamp.com/album/better-days

In this year of things falling apart, Drumcorps goes leaner & meaner, keeping a certain tenderness & melodic sparkle. There's only one way, and so we hear Aaron picking up scream duties for the first time, as well as the rest of the instruments. The transition from the old days of hyper-sampling is complete, and now the mashup forces are focused on deconstructing original work as soon as it's made. Build to destroy, to remake anew.

There's an ocean of harsh noise, electronic textures, sub-bass & jungle breaks, but all elements are concise & to the point, serving the song first. It's all woven carefully into the flow, built into the tunes as integral elements of a whole.

Thematically it's a willingness to engage with the darkest reality, but an outright refusal to yield to cynicism - essentially hardcore punk filtered through a diversity of experience and influence. A soundtrack for our remaining time in late-stage capitalism. For fans of hardcore, metal, d-beat, noise, and electronic soundsystem culture alike, there's common ground, and a way forward. Isn't what it's all about?
