lyrics

Disguised fear, cowardly shell
Power consumed weakened minds
Given control no one should hold
Racist hounds itching to bite
Shaped to portray a fleeting grasp
Of white control over black lives
Badge of the killer, badge of death
Protects a system that bounds a race

Black lives covered in blood
Watch their strike of extermination
Break their chains
Fight the horde

Constant pain pushing through
Horrors cast upon a source
Attempts to rid the world
Of your guilt
Fire first, no questions asked
Bullets shot without remorse
You have taken meaningful life
Walking free, spreading lies

Murderers
Walk the streets
On the hunt
For black bodies
Filled with rage
Their ignorant pride
Fearing the moment
We take whats ours

Another day
Another life
Endless tears
As one by one we fall
I cannot watch
This endless slaughter
Fight or die
Stand or fall

A Diabolic Thirst
by SPECTRAL WOUND

supported by 11 fans who also own “Fight or Die”

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

Mortal Coil

Dödsrit is what happens when you drag Post-Hardcore, kicking and screaming, back into a Black Metal setting. And it's clearly working. tgoz
