A droning void Harassed by voices From deep within Deeply without Voices from hell Breakthrough this shell As hell below Seeks the next low These voices They’re fear Random lusts Hopes Persistent distractions Deprived pre-occupations Anxious intentions Insane complications Maybe the end Would cleanse Of all sense Break these bonds of existence Infinitely Viciously circular The abrasions at the joints The depression of spirits Acid in the gut The pains from head to toe Could seek another foe Like a lot With a sentence These voices They won’t stop The anxieties Insecurities Pain The fracture Complications Like this monkey They are only mine These voices are mine They are all mine * inspired by the "Treatise of the Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse" and lived experience

about

The crushing sound of industrial heaviness, the inevitable constructions around us, the fractures life brings about (both physical and mental), extreme metal in my youth and coming back to it at this later age, Allan Holdsworth’s Metal Fatigue in 1987 (though nothing musically like that here) and finally, the electric guitar with the joys of fuzz. Hope this helps in experiencing Metal Fracture.
