I gave my all, and to no avail
A withered soul of so few years
A youth becoming stale
The weight of failure and disenchantment
The albatross around the neck
As I gaze into the abyss, it stares right back
Pacing, seething
Like a beast in captivity
Scowling out from within the cage of this society
Clawing, gnawing
Until claw and tooth grind thin
Trapped inside this culture fighting wars that I can't win
I confess:
I dream of eternal rest
When all of this madness ceases to be
At last, I will be at peace
But for now, in the interim
The question remains of how to exist while knowing
All efforts made for change
Will likely be in vain
I fear it's all in vain
Violence swells within my veins
As patience wanes
There's nothing left to lose except
The thunder in my heart
Let it roar!

This could be the most important record to come out in the last 20 years. So good musically it's scary. So poignant in its message, it's scary. Millwall D.
As scalding as hot lava, the latest from French group Non Serviam collides black metal brutality with industrial grind. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
