about

A track that we wrote a couple of years back about life under late-stage capitalism. Where people are nothing but commodities to be bought and sold. Where our value depends on how much we produce and consume and structures that remain out of our grasp dictate the reality for most of us.  The lyrics could not be more relevant and important seeing the turmoil and chaos that the world is in at the moment. With a raging war happening as I write this, cultural wars everywhere, and the rise of a gig economy we get the feeling that human life never meant as little as it does today.

This is just a song with words and melodies and its impact on the world might not be as big as we want it to be, but this is our way of expressing our fears and concerns but also our hopes and ambitions and dreams.
It's always darkest before the dawn and hopefully, music can be the beacon of hope in a world that's gone off the rails.  Also, we love the track in itself.
Propulsive and rhythmic and wild. A journey of extremes where the feeling is more important than hooks and where all the collective rage builds to a climactic ending.

lyrics

Down down 
Crawl down on your knees
We’ll cut you control you
 Just as we please

We’ll grind your fingers to the bone 
Just carry on

Now now
Surrender to be safe
We’ll strip you of everything
 Keep you in your place

We’ll grind your fingers to the bone
Just carry on

You are damaged
Damned and despised
Keeping you scared
Cover your eyes
It is violence
That we extoll
It is death
Who wants it all

Grind your fingers to the bone
