Growlock by The Last Bear Ender

GROWLOCK is the first single of the upcoming Clawcore EP, featuring Roel Peijs, telling the story of a world consumed by digitalization—where humanity is slowly being absorbed into the machine. This track fuses alternative metal, industrial metal, and cyberpunk elements, bringing crushing riffs, thundering beats, and glitch-infused synths into a high-energy sonic assault.

🚨 For fans of: The Browning, Electric Callboy, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Born of Osiris, Fear Factory and Mick Gordon.

💀 Lyrically, GROWLOCK dives into:
‣ The battle between organic and synthetic existence.
‣ The struggle of resisting total digital control.
‣ A world where the lines between human and AI fade.

Lyrics

Lock and load, time to explode
Growlock, show what you hold!
Lock and load, time to explode
Growlock... we go to war!

CHORUS
To war!
Ignite, take flight
MOVE the night with the power of light
Fight back, don’t crack
GO! Pound the ground, make it sound, attack!

VERSE 1
Crash through the gates, into the storm
Digital demons swarm, reborn, light up the dark
Flash of the screens, we fight with the beat
Feel the strength rise, from the primal core

BRIDGE:
Rise! Up! This is it, make it count, break it down, now!
Rise! Up! Here we go, let it out, make it loud, growl!
We go to war!

CHORUS
To war!
Ignite, take flight
MOVE the night with the power of light
Fight back, don’t crack
GO! Pound the ground, make it sound, ATTACK!

INTERMEZZO
Stand tall, never fall

Lock in the rhythm and
Growl with the system
Fight where we’re driven
The light we are given

VERSE 2
Wires and roots are (are) intertwined
Hold the line where (where) shadows are defined
Surge of the old (old), surge of the new
Blaze through the fog (fog), break on through

CHORUS
To war!
Ignite, take flight
MOVE the night with the power of light
Fight back, don’t crack
GO! Pound the ground, make it sound, ATTACK!
