this was written about a few of my old friends from years ago. seeing people who had their whole lives ahead of them completely ruin it due to a lack of self-worth. time changes everyone. whether it be a substance or an outlook on life, the inability for a person to think for themselves can be on of the most deadly things.
lyrics
energy wasted.
dependent on a crutch
hand stretched out far too much.
reliance now a characteristic.
never once altruistic.
a life once full of virtue
damaged from a cultured idea
crippled by what you expected
a new life now spent disconnected
the excuse of innocency has no last
anticipation of a constant downcast

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
