You rise to your power
To bring us down
A slaughter of the soul is what you found
Based on the things that you believe
We're not all as important as it seems to be
You walk away clean after the death of me
I look you straight in the eyes
You are my worst demise
Lead digs deep
Erase my memory
Between my eyes the blood spills red
You go to sleep
Another nights rest
As you’re pleased of the wrongful dreams
That you've achieved
Another enemy free on the street
Soon you will meet your destiny
You rise to your feet to kick us down
A protector of the streets, is an assassin for the weak
My fate is in your hands
As the rope begins to slip
I will see my end
Compelling metallic hardcore with an unusual, but welcomed take on vocals. Matching more of a sound akin to Type O Negative meets Integrity, it shreds through wonderfully varied powerful songs.
Roaring in scope, there are many moments of more traditional furiousity, but most of the album maintains an air of spectacle due to the vocals. Not theatric, but they add a presence to the album. The guitars are properly riff filled, and the drums carry everything along with battering precision. Lorenzo

Ross J. Farrar of Ceremony creates dubby outside punk evoking the minimalism of Young Marble Giants on his second solo record. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2024
Chokehold, a metallic hardcore band from Canada, with Beastie Boys touches. Their 2nd LP Content with Dying is easily their angriest and most passionate. This 1995 LP is impressively simplistic. Keeping a mid-tempo on the LP, they plod and chug along with some headbanging riffs, well shown on the opening track "Underneath". Not the most varied record, it's the same kind of chuggy riffs through the whole LP. Yet this LP remains one of the heaviest in the genre. Essential for any 90s hardcore fan! xhrl_
