“Another Year in Hell” is a commentary on the crushing realities of the pandemic as well as a testament to the global, fragile, and deeply personal ties that keep a scene alive. Opening with Overo’s searing feedback and anthemic vocals, the record next threatens to break speakers with Punch On!’s chaotic heaviness. On Side B, Zochor teases bouncy Revolution Summer energy before Coma Regalia closes out with desperate, explosive emoviolence. The result is a cathartic journey that leaves one both nostalgic for the past (after all, nothing says “DIY screamo” quite like a 4-way 12” released by 8 labels) and surprisingly hopeful for the future.
For fans of: Raein, Funeral Diner, the Saddest Landscape, End of a Year, Moss Icon, Yaphet Kotto.

lyrics
You may be shocked to find the words you fired on boundary walls
In sharp and spiteful tongue results in noted, muted scrolling
And you feel let down when your assumed embolden troops
Lay down the arms you shared and turn their rifles onto you
They say the pavements lined with dust
Have you considered going there?
They say the walls are lined with cobwebs
Have you considered going?
I heard the people stop and stare
Have you considered going there?
They say “I’ve never been there…”
You may be shocked to find your endless unrepentant bile
That you collected praise for results in hidden hands compiling
Sheets of candid quotes and words you sent in confidence
Provide the evidence that your precious cause is lost
You may be shocked to find that I’ve been there more than one
You might have noted that there’s 3 to 1 on every map
A dashing light of building on your monthly journey home
Between the calm and calmer, shakes this structures to the bone
The ground was always shaking, we’ve been accustomed to the swell
The signs were posting long before and we knew them well
We lost the syntax young, we left the grammar far behind
And now we’re reading lips discovering our willing blind
