Life is a bull and you don't have it by the horns
Life is a bull and you don't have it by the horns
You said to me once
Your picture
You said to me
Dirty face
Car dealership asphalt
radiating heat
the glint of teeth - the passing of cash
Why'd you go that way?
Pistol on your nightstand
It's a dead end
Camera on your porch
It's a dead end
It's a dead end
It's a dead end
It's a dead end

Obsession

The foundation of civilization is obsession
rationalize - divide and conquer
rationalize - unite and conquer
Human bodies, squeeze them dry
This process must be perfected
Time spent, is money spent
Spend more time
Feed me what I want to see, make me feel
The obsessions are forming spirals all the time
The small spirals
Are a metaphor
for the spirals
that will destroy all
sucked into a pit
endless faces of grief
all reaching toward the light
the realization of what we had

Erase the past
Let them rot in the gutter
Erase the past
Let them rot in the gutter
Let their injuries fester
For empty rooms
Who will hear me scream in these hallways?
Who will find my skull gushing?
my insides leaked out all over these shrines
Shrines to gluttony
leaked out all over these shrines
Shrines to gluttony
Be my diving board to me way out
Of this slow death
Wander the streets
Soaked in your own bile
Each empty luxury suite
Stares at you
Windows of eyes
My corpse will be covered
In new concrete
My corpse will be covered
In new plaster
Things will go on
Things will go on
This never happened

Slag Hive Bellingham, Washington
Formed in 2023 when Kyle and Wendelin connected via separate craigslist ads. Kyle had listened to Wendelin's math rock band,
Rooftops, in high school! The two began swapping sound files and quickly wrote music together.
Wendelin recruited his friend Jeff, who'd played bass in B'ham prog metal band, Dog Shredder. Kyle saw Matt do vocals in his band Ritual Killing and the rest is history.

FOH in general is a big influence to our riff and songwriting. This ep is super heavy and sludgy sounding!

This album is really interesting melodically. A big influence!

This rhythms and timing in this album are so sick! All three members do vocals and they're all heavy, emotional, and cut through in different ways.

Theres an almost meditative lull to these passages, pulling you deeper and deeper into a trance. Atmosphere for days. 10/10

So back when "Static Church" came out a few years ago, I may have spent the bulk of my review enthusiastically discussing the drumming of Noah Burns. I think I'm going to do it again haha. In terms of the sound this dude fills across these tracks - it's mind boggling. In conjunction w Gage Lindsay's Jackson Pollock-like splatter riff guitar attack, Melancholia is pretty unstoppable. But seriously... put on some good headphones, play Track 2 & listen to those goddamn drums. Holy shit, right?! 🫠
