Now Fear This (Live at Webster Hall, May 23, 2014)

Status update on the latest Hellshot recording.

What's the Status?

Sickening society, total insanity
The procreation, the abortion of mankind 
The forward button is set, no chance to rewind 
As the days regress real fast 
The guilty parties have damaged the past
No chance for life, more chance for death
Murders and mayhem are all been set
Lives will be over, you’ll have no regrets
 
Chorus 
First to go third to know 
I’ll be the last one laughing out loud 
The end is nigh and we will fry 
No retribution all will die

Kill for God or Allah 
Extermination for an invisible cause
Brew your toxins, poison the wishing well
No promising future no hope to sell
Consumption of life conclusion is death
Deleting our numbers extracting our last breath
You cowardly fuckers you cower and hide 
I’m counting the hours I’m counting the days when humanity dies  

Chorus
First to go third to know 
I’ll be the last one laughing out loud 
The end is nigh and we will fry 
No retribution all will die

Gang back up vox
DEAD SOULS BURN SLOW (4x)

All your praying tear displaying 
Won’t stop the end to come 
Beg forgiveness and repentance, waiting for the fall
It’s too late you sealed your fate 
Damage has been done 
Black the sky burn out your eyes the ending now begun

Can’t wait for the end, ‘cause Satan is coming around the bend
Dragging us all shot to hell nothing more to say nothing more to tell
 
Chorus
First to go now you know 
I was the last one laughing out loud 
The end is nigh and we will die
No retribution…

Gang back up vox
DEAD SOULS BURN SLOW (4x)


Can't Wait For The End

Living your life in hell
Haunting your soul to sell
Introduce you to reality, which is misery
‘Cause ever day’s a struggle, just to get out of bed
Living life so medicated
I’ve been out of life instead

Daily grind has lost your mind
Suffocating you in time
Inject yourself it goes away
Distorted heaven is where you’ll stay

So this is how you live
Live with clouded eyes
Knowing that the way you live is to deny
Junkman occupation, giving it all away 
Knowing that tomorrow’s gone 
‘Cause you killed it all today

Tap the vein now, Syringe in place now
Pump the fluid, Life in ruins

Early to death and ready to die
Makes you all bitter, withered and dry (4x)

So this is how it goes
Drowning in your pool of piss
Waking up alone and realize it’s all been missed
Rusted fragments
Dead memories in your head
A lesson for the pain of life
Now you die alone in bed

Tap the vein now - Daily grind has lost your mind 
Syringe in place now - Suffocating you in time 
Pump the fluid - Inject yourself it goes away 
Life in ruins

Early to death, ready to die
Makes you all bitter, withered and dry (4x)

No. No hope. You’re on coke, alone. (2x)
Die. Die. Die. 


Withered

I don’t think I deserve this 
My head is bowed and my neck is on the line 
Peel my skin, dissect me 
Push the limits of my mind 

Bound restrained, acid on my tongue, sanity has come undone 

Clouded mind
Infected soul of pain
Eternal cries
Relentless hell I’m living in

No escape no egress 
I lay down here waiting for the blade 
Pierce my flesh, infect me 
Fill me with diseases you have made

Born of pain, left restrained, don’t know life beyond insane

Clouded mind
Infected soul of pain
Eternal cries
Relentless hell I’m living in

NO MORE MIND FUCK

Agony, release me, let me rot alone in peace

Clouded mind
Infected soul of pain
Eternal cries
Relentless hell I’m living in

Fuck


Relentless

I deny the charge of treason
Open wide for your daily dose
Justice doesn’t go with truth
It goes with those who pay the most

Live through the lies you see
To be all that you can be
I think you’ll agree it’s time we end this legacy now

Say your last good-bye, it’s the end of the line
You claim you want peace, that your motives are pure
But you bury the truth and deny them the cure
Then kill the messenger just to be sure

War machines and tragic scenes
Are just Big Brother’s broken toys
Demagogues and pundits all
Conceal with their self‐righteous noise

Bring me the messengers head!

Make your choice
Raise your voice

Face it, embrace it, and fucking erase it

Years of cloak and dagger rule
Eliciting my battle cry
Better to die demanding peace
Than live your life never asking why


Kill The Messenger

I can’t respond with decency 
Left alone with insecurity 
A stagnation and uninvolved 
You dropped me, a problem unsolved 

Every day the same old shit 
I’m falling deeper in to this bottomless pit 
Abandoned, a walking tragedy 
The only witness to this misery

Mourn from above, scorn my love
Witch will fester inside of me
Burn the past, deface me at last
The pain that I cast I will do to you (2x)
 
I feel this hate, you can’t escape
Admit you’re wrong, and be defiled 

It’s all on you now, what can you possibly do now? 
You were once my savior, but now you’re my betrayer 

Forsake my mind, take this time
Pull these spikes from my limbs
Waste the years, mock the tears
Alone that I fear, it comes right back to you (2x)

I feel this pain that bears your name 
Admit you’re wrong and be defiled 

Counting backwards destroying my time 
Not to which, pain I pine 
Put my anger in display, leaving all in dismay 
Frustration, desolation 
My life’s in desperation 
Frustration, desolation 
My life’s in desperation 

Counting forward, no healing pain 
Dead emotions down drain 
Still my anger in display 
Left you all in dismay 




Take it all, take it all, take it all, take it all
Life, faith in disgrace (My life…?)
Beat it all, beat it all, beat it all, beat it all 
Life, faith in disgrace (My life…?)
Take it all, take it all, take it all, take it all
Life, faith in disgrace (All I have…?)
Beat it all, beat it all, beat it all, beat it all 
Life, faith in disgrace (All…?)

Let me fade away
Let me fall apart 
And I’ll always be
It’s all over now


Defiled

Chained to a wall of your own construction
Your flesh is picked at each and every day
Promethean nightmare, you can never wake up
Die a little more to show us the way

A knife point so sharp, a prick in your hands 
Will do the job so well
Blood starts to drip, stains your palms a deep red
It makes you pain much easier to sell

You can’t scream with your mouth sewn shut (2x)
Martyr (2x)

Hammer the wood, grab the rope and the nails 
Climb up don’t ask anyone for help
It would defeat all of your work
Your purpose and thinly veiled plan 

You can’t scream with your mouth sewn shut

Lower your coffin hands gripping the rope 
Having the time of your life 
Sycophantic
(Something) fanatic
With a front row to your six-foot swan dive 

You can’t scream with your mouth sewn shut (2x)
Martyr (2x)

There but for the grace of god do you go (4x)

Martyr (2x)
There but for the grace of god do you go (4x)


Martyr

Safety does not exist
Comfort is a mirage
A ticking clock ‘til death
Remind you of your loss

No holy sanctuary
No peace of fucking mind
No smiling face to greet you
No dodging your demise

More than a pound of flesh
More than the devil’s due
Inevitability
In the end will find you too

You will never escape it
Time will never abate it
You can never sate it
Time can never contain it

Death sentence
Your penance
Avoidance
Coils the rope

You’re living in your panic room
Re-enforce your security
Forever in a gilded cage
With bars composed of transparency

It’s just, It’s just a, It’s just a
Noose for the naïve

Even the best will fade
Darkness will come at last
Erasing every facet clean
Deleting all your past

It’s just, It’s just a, It’s just a
Noose for the naïve


Noose For The Naive

Say goodbye to the world as you know it
For it’s the last thing you’ll ever see
A doctrine written down but no one opposes
False statement ideology
Contradicting beliefs
Chipping away your civil rights
Hammer weighing down and pounding down 
There’s nothing left in sight

It’s all gone, it’s all dead
Lost control, lose your soul
Now fear this
Lose your soul, lose it all
Now fear this
The end has now begun and all will be done
The end will soon become and you will be done

Time is ticking for a total shut down
A declaration that’s coming fast 
A four year plan of annihilation
Four more years, we’ll all be shit-canned
Left in dormancy 
A stagnation we strive to be last
No use for currency 
For our freedom will be our price tag

It’s all gone, it’s all dead
Lost control, lose your soul
Now fear this
Lose your soul, lose it all
Now fear this
The end has now begun and all will be done
The end will soon become and you will be done

It’s all dead
Lost control, lose your soul
Now fear this
Lose your soul, lose it all
Now fear this
The end has now begun and all will be done
The end will soon become and you will be done

Done, gone, we’re all dead


Now Fear This

Hellshot, a four piece metal band has been a force in the NYC metal scene with its ferocious brand of thrash and hardcore. Soon after forming, the band played a slew of local gigs at noted venues including NYC's Fontana's and Local 269, Brooklyn's Trash Bar and the Upper East Side Metal Festival and developed a reputation for high intensity, balls-out live shows. 

Founded in 2009 by Daryl Kral (drums), Otto Hoering (bass), Gary Miller (vocals) and Jonathan Root (guitar/vocals) the band created crushing yet hook-driven songs played with reckless abandon. In the summer of 2010, Hellshot released their debut album The Path Of Least Existence. Recorded in one day and mixed on a laptop, this raw slab of modern metal made its way around the local scene and even on to iTunes.

A year later in the summer of 2011, founding member Jonathan took off to Los Angeles. At the suggestion of IKILLYA's Jason Lekberg, the band auditioned guitarist Adam Ames who had previously played with local industrial-metal act Neurochord. It was a perfect fit, and the band forged ahead playing shows at Trash Bar, Local 269, St. Vitus and Knitting Factory.

By the beginning of 2012 Gary was feeling the strain of his schedule and decided to leave the band. During an exhaustive search, Daryl, Otto and Adam sharpened their playing into a savage but tight thrashing unit. When they auditioned Saul Colon, formerly of veteran NYC hardcore band Social Disorder, they knew they had their frontman. Having honed his talents at legendary clubs CBGB and L'Amour, Saul brought further aggression and force to the live performances. 

Hellshot has played gigs with local bands IKILLYA, Hung, Resolutions 15, Nevereven, Wrench, Slam One Down, God's Green Earth, Deadzone, Threatpoint and Martyrd at its usual venues as well as Sullivan Hall,  Blackthorn 51, Gussy's, No Partners and Don Pedro’s.

In early 2014, Hellshot began recording its eponymous sophomore album at Nova Studio with renowned producer Jerry Farley who has worked with bands such as Sick Of It All, Ill Niño, Candiria and Anaka. The album will be mostly new songs written by the band in its present incarnation with all members contributing as well as a few oldies but goodies.
