It took us an age to realize
that ‘living’ is just another word for ‘compromise’
Punching in and bleeding out
to keep our sorry souls in line.
This city still fucking stinks
an open sewer of lives left to sink
Shake the hands of those that sit
in all the places that they don’t fit.
and say goodbye to anything good
I’m still waiting for it to come with age
I’m still waiting for anything at all.
And there’s a heaven for the whole nine circles
and there’s a heaven for all of those that hurt you
But waiting there at the end of the rope
is only hell for the ones that hoped
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
I'm sorry I missed out on this band 'til now. Landscapes sound excellent, a must for any fan of UKHC in the first decade of the century. I'd put them on a playlist with early Gallows, Alexisonfire, Comeback Kid, Dead Swans, Lay It On The Line, Mercury League and HHH. Burning Flag Designs
