“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.

lyrics
A syncopated shout seeps through a wall of deafening gunfire and rallies the troops
On into No Man’s Land in harmony their weapons fire
In dotted beats they march forth
Shoulder shuffling through, as soldiers shake their swollen spines lifting horns to Heaven.
In Gabriel’s tongue they speak the language of the homeland in stuttered stanzas
A sacrifice assumed: no second class as earthworms eaten. United in soil
Syncopated
A favour asked of hands; the novelty of dark legs dancing and the sacrifice of limbs
Syncopated
Face down among the flowers, fingers marking out the chords. The music of the victors.
Notes a few tones higher. Two different lines in harmony break up the silence.
Syncopated
A hero’s welcome home, the roads are lined with grey and red, white and blue.
Echoes of the fields stomping blue into the city marking the ground.
