No - Desire Kills Desire

i'm hearing the voice inside my head again
lost i am
lost i am

i'm hearing the voice inside my head again
lost i am
lost i am

i'm hearing the voice
i'm hearing the voice

inside my head
inside my head
inside my head...

Hearing Voices

she's spooky
she's spooky

her dark heart 
rots inside...

She's Spooky

Subliminale

Ruins in the Ember

Lyrics

Aquí hai homes que preparan unha guerra sosegada
Ante mesas aborrecidas de papeis macilentos
De mans cegas a calquera utilidade
De virus estrategas entre tanta rotina

O vento cheira a cadáver
A víctima diaria da harmonía universal
A apocalíptico vertedoiro
Antes de sementar nas nosas almas vencidas
Unha canción sen memoria
Unha guerra soa sempre
Aínda dende moi lonxe
Un estertor terminante
Ven procurar os cristais da Cidade
Que se despide continuamente de si mesma

Ecos desde lugares extremos
Case sen son, ecos secos tan secos
Que dificilmente sentencian a súa propia morte
Xorda como muller nos seus últimos vestidos

O vento cheira a cadáver
A víctima diaria da harmonía universal
A apocalíptico vertedoiro
Antes de sementar nas nosas almas vencidas
Unha canción sen memoria
Unha guerra soa sempre
Aínda desde moi lonxe
Un estertor terminante
Ven procurar os cristais da Cidade
Que se despide continuamente de si mesma

Nos domingos tranquilos
cando a paz aborrece a espera
Nunca vin tanto silencio belixerante
mordendo a destrución de tantos nomes

O vento cheira a cadáver
A vïctima diaria da harmonía universal
A apocalíptico vertedoiro
Antes de sementar nas nosas almas vencidas
Unha canción sen memoria
Unha guerra soa sempre
Aínda desde moi lonxe
Un estertor terminante
Ven procurar os cristais da Cidade
Que se despide continuamente de si mesma

Os nenos, de cóbados na xanela,
Enfrontaban a história inconscientes,
Nun palpebrexo tan veloz como a infancia.
Pero aínda hai un cambio posíbel que se reserva no bolso,
Un remanente da derrota, para mirar arredor.

O vento cheira a cadáver
A víctima diaria da harmonía universal
A apocalíptico vertedoiro
Antes de sementar nas nosas almas vencidas
Unha canción sen memoria
Unha guerra soa sempre
Aínda desde moi lonxe
Un estertor terminante
Ven procurar os cristais da Cidade
Que se despide continuamente de si mesma

Adaptación L.Villalta

Guerra cadaver

Your  ringing words pulls me in
They make me want to dive in
But still something don't stick in
And i can't stand this shape of sin

I hearyour words dressed in gold
But deep inside they feel cold
Your lies are sweet
Your mask bright
But i will tear it down to end this fight

Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But any time i try it feels so sad, it feels so cold 
Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But those times i don't want to see nobody
It's much too bold

To shield your heart and wear the crown
You break beauty, burn it down
Led by fear you tear it all
Destroy the dream to avoid his fall

Your vibrant words are led astray
They don't stick into your shade
I can see them vode to fail 
As soon as your ardour will fade

Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But any time i try it feels so sad, it feels so cold 
Sometimes i would like to feel more love for my sieblings 
But those times i don't want to see nobody
It's much too bold

Sometimes

Aynalasın Jer Tūtqan (Demo)

Isaac Howlett, front person of acclaimed synth-pop outfit Empathy Test, unveils his latest solo single Spiralling - a raw, dance-floor-ready track addressing depression and anxiety from his own lived experience. Collaborating with the enigmatic European music collective A State of Flux, Howlett delivers a compelling blend of accessible hooks and emotional nuance, transcending genre boundaries.

Drawing from diverse electronic influences, Spiralling creates a soundscape that’s both immediate and immersive, pairing dance-floor rhythms with rich, emotionally layered textures. It’s a musical journey into the depths of inner turmoil.

“I’m in the privileged position of being asked to collaborate a lot, but rarely find time. However, when a deliciously dark demo entitled Spiralling landed in my inbox, I was immediately inspired. The lyrics come from something my late grandfather said which stuck with me; “depression runs in the men, on your mother's side”. I felt like a time-bomb waiting to explode.”
– Isaac Howlett

Behind the production, A State of Flux, known for its creative anonymity and fluid collective ethos, crafted a backdrop that marries both clarity and complexity...

“We wanted to create a musical backdrop that, on the surface, seemed immediately accessible, but also delivered on complexity that mirrored Isaac’s personal expression. It was a highly collaborative and fluid process where the track developed over a series of months with everyone contributing musical ideas.”
– Peter 7, A State of Flux

"Phantom Pain" out tomorrow everywhere // check buy link for bandcamp 🖤

William Bleak - Phantom Pain

This EPx15 builds up from Indie LoFi, to Blues, and Burlesque Punk Rock. It quotes the newly rebranded "Department of War" Secretary's official announcement speech. The cover features "Operation Blitz", the shameless Naz! offensive nomenclature used by the government to designate their latest mass-deportations initiative #truestory.

DHS—i.e. the U.S. "Department of Homeland Security"—has launched a military operation called “Operation Midway Blitz” targeting undocumented immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. The news coverage spans AP, Washington Post, Reuters, and The Guardian—all information sources as real as reliable.

Yet, when I shared a screenshot of the real DHS tweet announcing ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ to chatGPT, it called it fake news! WHY? Cuz the truth sounded too fasc!st to be real, sadly, obviously, that is why... because DHS shamelessly chose to name their latest large-scale deportation crackdown after "The Blitz"—i.e. the Nazi Germany’s bombing campaign that terrorized civilians. Yup. Blitz. On U.S. soil. Targeting immigrants. The bot doubted it because it was too extreme to believe, which imho, literally proves just how extreme it actually is!

So here’s the question of the day: If it sounds too fascist to be true—but it’s true—
how far gone are we already?! 🇺🇸

@bananasutra (aka the Better Bananas Bureau of Peace) lyrics "It’s War, My Friend"

[Intro]
“Maximum lethality… 
not tepid legality…” (*)
They changed the name, 
but not the game… 

[Verse 1]
The shield became a sharpened blade,
The dove was shot, the deal betrayed.
They smiled and switched the words they use,
Then blamed the blood on evening news.

[Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true. 

[Verse 2]
They built the tanks on stolen dreams,
Then fed us fear in silent streams.
The court was blind, the laws grew thin,
So violence marched its power in.

[Verse 3]
They stripped the schools to fund the fight,
Then prayed for peace beneath the blight.
They called it strength, I call it fraud,
A wolf that hides behind the law.

[Bridge – Dreamy, echoing tone]
When war gets dressed in Sunday best,
Who dares to ask, “Who cleans the mess?”
When war is peace and law is bent,
The truth is just a false pretense. 

[Repeat Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true. 

☩ ☩ ☩

(*) WTH "Maximum Lethality, Not Tepid Legality" actually means??!
This is the stark, official statement made by Pete Hegseth, i.e. the newly rebranded American "Secretary of War"... By saying "Maximum lethality", he emphasizing his intention to deploy overwhelming force and power. And "Not tepid legality" is clealrly a d!ck-jab at what he sees as legal constraints that are weak or overly cautious-indicating more military actions, with fewer legal handcuffs. He also said "Violent effect, NOT politically correct" (for real), underlining the prioritization of forceful outcomes over worrying about optics, cultural sensitivities, or so-called "woke" norms. Long story short, the fasc!st Quack administration is making things clear (for once, ha): this isn't about defense or diplomacy. It's about offense, authoritarian purpose, and unapologetic strength. 

Blessed be the Peace fools 🕊️
