Can't take much more of this pressure
The world's coming down on my shoulders
Draining the life from me
And taking away everything that is in front me
All that I've worked for
All that I've earned
Has been taken away
When am I gonna learn?
This weight's dragging me down
I must free myself from this hell
Nothing will stand in my way
Venom flowing through my veins
It's building up inside
This rage I cannot hide
I won't let myself fall apart
I must find the will to survive
The world is crushing me
I am down on my knees
Will I crumble underneath?
Or find a way back to my feet?
It's coming down on you
All the power I've held inside is showing through
What are you gonna do?
When the weight that you put on me makes its way back to you?
What are you gonna do?
When the weight comes down on you?
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
I didn't know about this band for a very long time. That is a tragedy. This record absolutely crushes, combining technicality, melody and pure knuckle dragging belligerence. It's executed flawlessly.
The lyrics are great. The riffs are great. The leads are great. The vocals are great. Lots of hooks everywhere.
Ten years too late this was my album of the year.
A Metal Archives dig led me to Enemy Mind, who also rule. Psyched about these outstanding Pittsburgh bands. Matt Medeiros
