melancholy entraps my being, i long for serenity through absolution, absolve feelings of uncertainty, if you only knew the pain that lies beneath each tear, the turmoil that stirs inside
consciousness lights a solution and as these tears fall, apathy lays it's hands on my world
i weep for an awakening, i weep in constant longing
hands of suffering grip tight as i plea to be let free...
no longer content with self deprivation
i light the way to action
absolve this violence
this fire inside that burns
strike the match of retribution, strike the match...
a spark that illuminates
constitute to burn blood red
light fire in these veins to feel
revenge burns so bright....
revenge for every second i am forced to live this way, for every tear shed, a new awakening rises with these flames....
lay your torch to burn what burns you
strike the match, lay the torch
lay your torch to burn what burns you
ablaze, i burn this apathy
revenge
burns so bright
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
supported by 15 fans who also own “To Burn Apathy”
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
