Drip-fed misinformation from an array of cretins with their hands in their pockets and lies in their throats Sweet-talking the uneducated into filling their bank accounts without even realising it Stand up for your rights and never let the bastards grind you down We need each other more than ever because we can’t let these excuses speak for us again Somehow we allow a public news system to spout toxic dribble every day and we simply shrug off their pitiful apologies

Unregulated 01:27
an un-moderated community is a toxic community these unchecked threads are full of racists and incels left to their own devices they breed hate and bigotry and your focus on numbers and bottoms lines has allowed this to thrive every suicide from cyber-bullying is blood on your hands you turned people's personal lives into a video game score your inability to step in has given birth to a new wave of Nazis we shouldn't have to butt heads with fascists in this day and age progression has halted because someone gave bigots a place to grow is all the abuse and pain really justified in your world? is making money so important that you're ready to shit on a whole generation? don't let this rampant abuse of an online system continue it's hard enough to get by without having to deal with the far right an un-moderated community is a toxic community every suicide from cyber-bullying is blood on your hands
3.
a hopeless situation an early grave no help or support to escape this hell any hands that were extended have been pulled away by a system that exploits its most vulnerable our leaders don't care as long as there's something to gain a corrupt, unfeeling behemoth that will never be swayed your days will end our time is now disgust and hate all that is left despite our numbers most are too downtrodden to get out of our homes where a difference can be made there must be more to life than whats inside these four walls its time to make a stand and speak for what we believe in your days will end our time is now

who does it hurt to be yourself? a sea of eyes killing you inside an existence defined by an image when you have so much more to offer it does not matter what image you project a system in a choke-hold that can no longer support how can anyone be happy without basic needs living shouldn't come with a cost the emotional weight of just being yourself your achievements are what define you gender, race and sexuality are not for you to judge and the conversation around them is for me alone a society manufactured to single out difference who has the selflessness to support the young? who will save this generation from an early grave?

another depressing addition to a mass shooting tally a sea of lives boiled down to a voiceless statistic they will never be honored past a few days after the event an unfitting end for a pointless tragedy that could've been avoided all this death simply because automatic weaponry is so lucrative so much private ownership of so much unnecessary violence another depressing addition to a mass shooting tally a sea of lives boiled down to a voiceless statistic we have to remember their names because the government will not this massacre of livelihoods is a stain on your nation you simply can't justify your nation's problems with comparison this is your problem that you refuse to address is living in the land of the free really worth all this killing? so much pain yet it's free healthcare that's the villain another depressing addition to a mass shooting tally a sea of lives boiled down to a voiceless statistic el paso, virginia beach, dayton and aurora el paso, virginia beach, dayton and aurora is living in the land of the free really worth all this killing? so much pain yet it's free healthcare that's the villain
6.
a faulty system that no one supports summon the masses and fleece them all never reimburse the source of your income this industry will never birth anything meaningful if we keep treating it as something disposable all the wasted talent and personality is lost because a failed business couldn't maintain itself don't weep for a system that is completely broken you fucked us all art will be lost nothing is nurtured passion will die

about

"If you have a mental breakdown and go on a rampage - this is the soundtrack you should listen to while doing it - it will not let you change your mind. It's disgusting, crunchy and loud and you can feel that Cranstøn (the mystery person behind the band) is using this as a vehicle for him to express his rage and political standings. The programmed music behind the vocals are clear, well constructed and push the songs along" - Ugly Love

"Filthy, fuzzy and frantic frolics a plenty and there’s even a bizarre almost melodic riff thrown in to the cement mixer production job on “Don’t Forget Their Names”. Total DIY noize for those who run a mile at the sound of an actual melody." - Gadgie Fanzine

"The first thing that needs to be said about this EP is that is powered by pure, righteous anger. Over six tracks Cranstøn blasts through any target that comes in his way from media bias to the right wing government’s attack on working class and minority communities. All of this is delivered over a wall of sound that touches on black metal and industrial soundscapes but with a pure punk vocal delivery." - Astral Noize
