In the sky
Untouchable
No promises will come true
All hope is gone through and through
Like a knife in your back twisted by the ones who love you
Swallowing sadness and drinking from the vines of greed
I beg of you to please just kill me
End my misery
Take my pain
Go up in the sky
In the heavens we will all die
No resurrection
Just black eyes
Shadows of our being
Souls of the ones clinging
to grasp what's left to save
I watch your world cave
No hope for the strong
No pity for the weak
Dreams bleed like a busted artery
My god, you can't save me from my endless misery
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_
