after waiting far too long for this to come out, it has finally come together. a good friend jacob, who has done plenty for my own albums, decided to put out this powerviolence record on this bandcamp. i thought it was a cool idea, but unfortunately it took forever since the guest vocalists were slow (i eventually ended up doing them). if you like hardcore of any sort, please listen to this. stalingrad will play live someday, trust me. now play this loud and feel the leaves turn inside you on this fine autumn night.

what others thought
"if there was a powerviolence textbook this would be chapter 1: an eight step guide on how to write your first
powerviolence cassette - step 1: yell FUCK abruptly at the end of a song, step 2: make unhealthy bodily sounds
at the end of another to show that you are sick as fuck and you dont even care step 3: make sure 10/11 songs
are less than 1:50 long, step 4: make sure at least 2 songs are less than 0:20 seconds long step 5: make sure
the last song is the only one thats more than 2:00 long and make it slow and crusty step 6: obligatory samples
and some brief ambience to assure the listener that you are deeper and more musically proficient than you
appear step 7: record it as shittily as possible even if you do have the means to produce better music to make it
very clear that you have social angst and you hate the music industry step 8: bandcamp"
"If we are unable to unify the past, present, and future of the sentence, then we are similarly unable to unify the past, present, and future of our own biographical experience of life. By molding the past into visual mirages or stereotypes, we effectively abolish any practical sense of the future and of the collective project, thereby leaving the thinking of future change to sheer cataclysm."
