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

For the Living

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?

Dead to Me

We have come together as an extended family of artists to show support for people with an imperialist's foot on their throat. The Anti-Imperialism Schism was compiled at pace, upon the invasion of Ukraine. All proceeds from this collection will go to supporting humanitarian efforts in both Ukraine and Yemen.

We accept there are many other places facing repression but these people are, at the time of release, facing the most intense onslaught. You’ll know about Ukraine from the Zeitgeist. But, did you know, thanks to 8 years of war in Yemen there are an estimated 24,000,00 people in need of assistance, 100,000 people killed since 2015 and 4,000,0000 displaced people?

War is despicable. We see what the war machine of imperialism does and we throw the deepest scorn at Putin and his government for their ongoing assault on the people in Ukraine and the Saudi Monarchy for their continued bombardment of Yemen. But we equally despise the provocative and uncompromising actions of the US government for their steering of NATO which was catalytic in the Ukraine war and for their kowtowing to the Saudi Monarchy on the war in Yemen. And yes, we see the complicity of the UK, French and Iranian governments, and the rest of the industrial-military complex. And don't worry Israeli government, you get a notable mention, but we are trying to stay on topic.

The more we read, the less we know, but the duplicitous power-grabbing fuckery by all the imperialists is clear. It isn't simple, nor black and white, but the deathly oppression via aerial bombardment of non-combatants is simply unacceptable. To the imperialists and oppressors, their puppets, their funders and their shareholders: Get bent.

We won't fight in the wars of governments. We see strength in anti-war thinking and action. Observing live invasion and war profoundly challenges this philosophical position though, especially as we want to send strength and respect to those forced to fight oppressive invaders to defend their lives and homes. If you think we are a bunch of peace-loving hippies and you wish to donate to support the Ukrainian military defence, because people need to stand up to bullies, you can here… savelife.in.ua/en/donate/ . You are not wrong. It is complicated.

We hope our music can help a little. The best people to decide how to spend the money we raise are on the ground in the Ukraine and Yemen. As such, all funds from this release will go to www.redcross.org.ua/en/ and www.monareliefye.org, 50/50 split.

Thank you for supporting The Anti-imperialism Schism. Solidarity through kick drums. x

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 tried to warn you
you cried preposterous
it's fine and other stories
checks, balances, sasquatch

surely someone will do something
surely someone
someone?

oh those days
when we quit before we started
riding fiction
straight into the abyss

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

fungus among us!

like mushrooms we rise
from rotten ideals
see with our eyes
feel with our feels

do what you will
inside the stack
just know
everything you give 
comes back

we're all gonna die in fire
worship smith watt
hijacked desire
it's getting hot

call me negative 
but i'm not stoned
known my whole life
two ways fight or owned
walking dead or alive

cult divides
real from fake
speak no lies
& they'll burn you at the stake

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

no time
there's no time
