lyrics
Hometown catastrophe
Where excuses turn abuses and the end result is jealousy
And then you’ll turn to me
Naively pondering the reason for your latest major tragedy
You’ll never get it, you’ll never get it, you’ll never get it even though you know we’ve said it
You’ll never get it, you’ll never get it the reason for your pain is just inherent
Go now, cradle your failures let it bring you comfort
This time it’s meant to be what a tragic mentality
Somehow, you’ll find your saviour and it won’t be me
The game is up and you’re out of luck, your claim to fame is suffering
Emancipation was never your forte
No follow through and no persistence
So quick with the tongue, that’s how it was done
The result is your lonely existence
You’ll never get it, you’ll never get it, you’ll never get it even though you know we’ve said it
You’ll never get it, you’ll never get it the reason for your pain is just inherent
Go now, cradle your failures let it bring you comfort
This time it’s meant to be what a tragic mentality
Somehow, you’ll find your saviour and it won’t be me
The game is up and you’re out of luck, your claim to fame is suffering
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind whore
If I could only make you see, you are your own worst enemy
Go now, cradle your failures let it bring you comfort
This time it will never be
Hometown catastrophe
Around the bend lies another defence to waste away
But in the end despite the warnings, intent on misery
And then you’ll turn and see, no longer fair game on the open seas
Naively pondering, my friend fairly weathered by the longest reckoning
Go now, cradle your failures let it bring you comfort
This time it’s meant to be what a tragic mentality
Somehow, you’ll find your saviour and it won’t be me
The game is up and you’re out of luck, your claim to fame is suffering
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind whore
If I could only make you see, you are your own worst enemy
Go now, cradle your failures let it bring you comfort
This time it will never be
Hometown catastrophe

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
This wild 35-track all-metal benefit album features Mare Cognitum, Panopticon, and more reinventing songs by Tori Amos & others. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 3, 2020
I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
