You’ve let yourself be chained to a set of lies they market.
You’ve become just another product of this world's mass design.
Scratch till your fingers bleed on the door of amnesty.
Tied to a “ball and chain” begging for a life that you can't have.
And how can you say that your goal in life is freedom when you’re just...
Cloned puppets that focus with blind consumers’ eyes.
You fuel your depression with desires unsatisfied.
They’re always empty handed (and) with idle minds you fill them.
You claim that you’re a master but you’ve turned yourself into a slave.
It’s an illusion of possession but still they own our soul.
We’re on the edge of our free will and we’re about to fall.
Enslaved: leave your identity.
Engraved: bury your dignity.

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
Fusing ’90s metalcore, ’00s vaporwave, and ’20s cybergrind, the Texans' debut showcases an unprecedented unholy trinity. Bandcamp New & Notable May 17, 2023
The West Coast's best Vegan Straight Edge band in the game. This is a monster of an EP and California proves time and time again that it makes some of the best Hardcore in the world. armedpsyche
