Mitch Mitcherson Furious metallic crust, basically a thrash album, and definitely a punk hidden gem. Favorite track: Everyday A Darker Shade of Grey.

Rotted Mood Happy to see this up on Bandcamp. This has always been one of my favorite LPs for over two decades. Harsh, fast hardcore(? Punk?) that doesn’t let up. Still have my original Lp of this but I try not to play it much and the discography cd didn’t have all the tracks. I’ll be playing these mp3s on repeat for the remainder of 2020. Favorite track: No Return.

Layed Back 01:19
I lay back. Feel the pain. Feel the hurt run down My spine. Fine no freedom here. Want to get out There’s nowhere to go. I can’t close my eyes When I do. I am scared. So I watch everything Around me go to hell. Lots of shit. You laugh Until you cry. Keep up with it. No! It fucken died! My silence. Moving forward. Smashing thru my wall. Life it dies and everyone watches but no on fucken morns. The blood inside. The life giving vain just ran fucken dry. Revival, it’s impossible. Forgot to say goodbye!

Infierno 01:39
Tu quieres mas dinero. De nosotros la gente, pero No nos quieres par respeto. Gritamos en las calles. Acabarlucha, mientas tu guentos, los minutos Empezar la Guerra! Si si gues con tu mierda en el Mundo. Pronto la genta rebelar! Joder te qual- Quiere, manera possible. Hager te tu vida un infierno Tomo como los quieres. Mi importa verga. Solo te Pigo. Nos sentimos. Es la voz de la gente Y nuestro opinion. Es los que siempre llamas la Libertad!!

I’m not sorry! So shut the fuck up (you cunt) When ever I’m around you I feel like I have to follow rules. And fuk rules. When ever I’m around you I feel like you think I’m a Fool. I feel like screaming shut up! Who the Fuk are you to tell me what to do. Fuk your Stupid rules I want nothing to do with politics! I’m just trying to be happy. Not trying to fuk you over. Why do you got to give a shit. No, I’m not sorry for what I said. Now you got To deal with that bitch! Talk your shit. But You’re never doing it. I’m not perfect. But I’m Willing to admit it. You make me sick. You Fucken piece of P.C. shit!

My mind is all fucked up, my heart sux it up. My hands they can no longer hold. The Book of fear begins to unfold. Darkness Has made me blind. People have destroyed My mind. Drugs can only numb the pain Tomorrow it starts again. Everyday a darker shade Of grey. My angers getting stronger the Pressures thrusting harder.. To destroy My mind. The answers getting further the Blade is looking sweeter. To destroy Myself. Ripped and torn apart. Just so I Can see the blood fill my eyes. And life Cease to be..Society has fucked every- Body. Directly affecting me and you. The Mirrors of life are always be shattered I’ve Tried to pick up the pieces. I’ve just cut Myself. The walls of insecurity have fucken turned to tragedy and the rivers of blood engulf my broken body.

I’m tired of all the shit I fucken see. I see It everyday. It’s us. The punx. We’re pointed at In the street. And their fucken fight just to Be who we are. I’ll try to find a better way and Not to play their fucken games and not to be another fucken puppet. You fucken freaks. Get out of the neighborhood. We’re different because we want to fuk the system. You’d have to rip out my eyes. If you want me to ignore. All the violence I see. Just look outside my front door! Not just corporations, police. State politics but the fucken pig that sits on top. Crush the foundations, The rest will fall! They system has it’s weak spots we must find them. Us the punx believe it or not we’re strong. Together we can be the stiff link that keeps the system turning. They run your life well. Take a look at yourselves. They run your life well. The lies of freedom. This nations fucken crap. Look into a world of shit before it splatters in your face look into this world of shit the Amerikkkan nation of hate. We want the unjustified money hungry pigs together we ca be the stiff link that keeps the system turning!

Crucified 01:21
Darkened doorways and nuclear weather. Soon To be feast in a web of war. Politician now Dominant butcher. Watching silent as he Hunts for kill. Progress? Destruction in Disguise. As far as we get is the wall. We Try to climb but we’re shot down only to Be locked up. Raped and shit upon and told We were free. Emotion put aside I hate society We ran far. Slaughter came fast. Now lie crucified At half mast.

Just questions. Never any answers. All ambitions. And just frustrations. Is it just me? Or does Everything seem so fucken cold and grey. And Just so fucken depressing? Every time I turn Around someone’s getting fuked over. I guess It’s just a lame reminder to why I’m never Sober. It’s been going on forever as far As I can remember. I’m waiting for the day It will all be fucken over

No Return 02:55
Living. Breathing. Fucking. Shitting. Law of life do As thy will. No orders no borders no fucking Commands my body my mind, my choice to conceal Too much time passes to fucking quick. Holding On just to let things go. Breaking things to fit Into place. And pick up the pieces no one would Know. Well it’s not just a passing generation Welcome to it’s a dying world. I will rejoice And do what I will. As I hope for no return! Crutches, no longer stable year after year. Words unspoken good friends die on an annual Bases. The wheel of family has been broken.
