lyrics

Is this your intellectual version of comparing dick sizes? Sorry, man, I'm not impressed by your act. Your games of cynicism don't get us anywhere.

--Machismo comes in many different forms. One of them is an inconsiderate self-righteousness in (political) discussions that can be witnessed in supposedly progressive sub-cultures – putting aside the fact that it's usually only men discussing (or shouting the loudest). I can only believe in someone's progressive ambitions when they are not displayed by finding the mistakes in others' opinions but by questioning one's own perspectives, habits and judgements every single day.

Great band! Had the chance to see them in 2010 and the energy was intense and incredible. After a hard weeks work, I throw this vinyl on the turntable, crank it to 11, and let it all out. Will miss them much! jestra9

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
