Back then I still had hope, back then there was still time
We thought we could fight this if we were serious
Thought we could walk away from a culture of decay
Thought these bonds were strong, but I was fucking wrong
Now it feels… almost like a joke
Now it feels… like I’m completely on my own
I still… want something more
I’m still… holding on
With the realization that this civilization
Will let the machines run all life into extinction
Who will be by your side? Are we all alone in this life?
Is this just a scene? What about real community?
When everything comes crumbling, where will we all be?
What we will face in our lifetimes is some next level shit
But everyone’s still pretending like nothing is happening...
but it scares the shit out of me
I finally understand why they throw up their hands
Why they turn their backs and let their minds relax
But can we try again? Bring back the passion?
I want something real. Let’s make something real.

Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
