Have you ever felt the fear of life slipping away
Slowly losing contact, soaking up all the pain
My once bright vision is now getting dimmed
I'm afraid to admit what I have gotten in
Surrounded by foes who claim to be my friends
They always find a way to pull me down in the very end
Anxiety hard to despise
Urging rage that I decline
I try, I fucking try...
To keep that precious peace of mind
Every step that I take is like balancing between
Noose tightening still, thoughts becoming ill
It’s tearing me up, It’s pulling me away
Can I expel these shadows and hold...
Hold myself sane
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
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
