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?

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
