We once lived as the hunted.
Disguised in smiles. A fear of anger.
Those circling thoughts were spiralling right in front of me.
Silencing me.
They beat the lies into you.
Blur the lines of truth.
You found the brink. You’re close to it.
Find a voice and finally..
..be the one to tell your story.
Shame will always call their name.
Hollowed out to a shell. An echo chamber of lies, taking over the mind.
Searching in what was reality. Passing comfortably around the pain.
As I surround the outskirts of a mind that warped reality to survive.
Flaws shine through a screen of widened eyes.
Though I do not fear becoming you, because you’re so far gone.
It’s true that a part of you lives in me.
But that piece will only serve as a warning.
I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
At its core, this reminds me of Dirge (France), but this ventures further in both the guttural register and the realm of clean vocals. Add a few interesting rhythmic patterns to spice things up, and voilà. Alice M.
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
