progdolphin This isn’t just a revisiting of the screamo of yesteryear. This is torn throat hardcore cutting through wistful math rock jangles around themes of self hate and dissociation tied together by a hypnotic motif—a melody that leads us through existential musings, percussive guitar shuffles, EDM hosted psychosis... all to land at the end of a cycle of negative rumination that falls back into itself. Yeah, it hurts, but you'll keep coming back for more all the same. Favorite track: Eyeless Faces.

    What in the world were they thinking? We set out to find the answers..

    Inspired by one of the best deleted scenes from the infamous Metallica Biopic, “Some Kind of Monster”, we explore the duality of man and take a deep dive into the minds behind one of the most influential metal bands of the 21st century. Through this extensive analysis, we may be the first group of musical scientists to fully map the connection between the mind of Lars Ulrich and his controversial snare tone.

The distance between where I am and where I want to be is always the same Escapism prolonging escape Circumstantial complacency Self-destruction becomes a means of survival An endless cycle The futility of trying to find the difference between beginning and ending... ...from the burial plot in the garden underneath the ashen oak I offer one final plea mouth filling up with dirt “I was more than the weight of my work The shadow of a dream deferred The one who feeds you controls you Did I ever have a choice?" Close my eyes None of this is real Disposable/replaceable <-> Walls closing in Look within myself <-> Face of wax Another 40 hours gone <-> This isn't living Bloodshot eyes I'm alright <-> I'm on fire Second job <-> Spread too thin Still in debt <-> No Way Out Didn’t eat <-> It's not safe Fading fast <-> to be alone Ghosts haunting ghosts

Hipócrita 03:56
Cómo puedes hablar del racismo pero mirar a los pobres como no seres humanos Maldito hipócrita Tu no eres mejor ...de una serpiente muerta Cómo tú puedes hablar como sabes lo que es ser una persona de color en un mundo blanco Eres un veneno...
3.
Lost Faces 04:27
Un derrame de sangre Blood for blood Stripped of a name A dead language Cacophonous silence We die like partisans in pale moonlight Skin crumbling in the terrible breeze We dare to invent the future
4.
Adrift 03:56 video
Burnt out and dreamless Alone and unkempt Entombed in bloodless flesh Contorted in masculine pose Talking in circles Worked to the bone Sleepless in the aisles Drifting through a sea of false memories (staring / haunting / wanting / drowning) until I clock out and realize I’m 30 years older With no forward motion decay marks the passage of time And so it seems that this is all there is Lost faces, stolen moments But maybe I deserve this Maybe I deserve this Maybe I’m nothing but the weight of my work If I dig a little deeper I might just be able to turn this around Why do I believe compliance will save me? None of this is real See me through my own eyes
5.
Shed the skin Remove the toxicity ingrained by standards & expectations | enforced by artificial environments Censor myself (Hidden) A sense of my self (Dormant) Outward expression I will not be erased See me through my own eyes
6.
Productivity pushing us forward fast-forwarding years of our lives We’ll look back with regrets and say “time goes by too fast when you’re this age” No somos nada más que el trabajo que producimos Prescindible y borrable cuando nos quedamos sin uso Maybe our lives would have more meaning (if we slow down! can we slow down?) Re-evaluating (our ties to each other) another 40 hours gone over and over and over another 40 hours gone over and over (it never ends) another 40 hours gone over and over and over How could they know (how could they know) what it’s like to be considered nothing? What’s the point? This isn’t living another 40 hours gone over and over, replaceable We dare to invent the future
7.
I never thought I’d see myself on the opposite end of this rope. The only thing keeping my feet off the ground is the chair that I stand on. My past is my future Locked doors, averted glances, silence Too scared to kick the chair Gravity, do your worst Show me how to become a ghost
8.
Keep my demons close to me Better than a heart worn on a sleeve Self-erasure Trying to point my head towards brighter days But it stays the same It stays the same Habits never change I’ll always feel this way Helpless, still caught up in my old ways Eyes shut, running in the wrong direction It’ll stay the same It’ll stay the same Until the bitter end Por siempre Nunca descanso Sufriendo en silencio Tristeza me consume
9.
To live To live your life To live our life To live a life To live our life out on the street The toll is deeper than we realize It could happen to anyone We see them but we look away It’s a failed system Invisible people Picking meat from their bones Those who fail lose everything
10.
I found myself slipping away. Cloaked in red with waxen face. A howling void of flesh. Withered and eternal, left to rot beneath my home. From within the obsidian dark I glimpsed faces from my youth, disfigured beyond recognition, speaking in dead tongues. I couldn’t remember who they were. They meant everything to me. You were there too, fading with the rest of them. Suspended above the trees, casting light through sheets of fog as a stellar remnant. I was blind with pity and anger for time moves too quickly. (To think I once believed I could delay the setting sun What I wouldn't give to reclaim those days) From behind my mask I called, but you were fading with the rest of them.
11.
Waking up at early noon wondering where the mornings went Staring at beams of light that filter through the cracks in my space Time is in a fever dream Everyday a part of me is forgotten, thinking... “What has become of me?” I’m just another slab of stone in a structure meant to crumble; I'm meant to crumble. A life etched into concrete A life so less deserved A life etched into concrete Existence is so absurd // Existence of the absurd
12.
Anchored 05:38
This feeling is lingering Everyday I wake up feeling defeated Why must I crave death? Where is my happiness? I’ve spent years focusing on self-reflection Just for everything to crumble Am I real? / I don’t know / Will I ever? / Where can I disappear? In my dream I was drowning in the sea Sinking while my lungs collapsed Why can’t I feel at ease? Why is my answer death? When I woke up it felt like I still couldn’t breathe I ask myself why The feeling lingers It clings to me, like paint on a wall, like skin onto flesh At night I close my eyes and hope my dream becomes reality and I’m swallowed by the sea My broken spirit suffers If I could just feel weightless I want it, but I gave up I wanted it so badly
