I need to break the spell of heredity To cleanse my life the curse I'm blood bound to thee What I will and wont take anymore I'm doin all i can to hold it in and down To use and to abuse upon another excuse Neglect indifference amidst the chaos The shame and the pain and the beatings I don't feel numb to the core Your dull fingers up my spine dissonance and manipulation You remember the hate mistakes? Well i do, the bondage and the bone Thing you want most denied I'll end this prophecy of woe The thing raised dead amidst the frayed ends Of sanity i wont become the same monster I don't want to feel it anymore Close and lock the goddamn door Shut in shielded from your storm Outside in I'm all alone Saw what will be what wont be again Not a chip off your block wont be your descendant A successor stained by the violence Where the madness reigned, pandemonium Saw what could be what wont live again With every tick of the tock i curse the resemblance Dysfunction buried in silence All the never agains owned with vengeance Pain inside I leave behind the lessons of my life I got to break free Break on through the mold you made its everything i gave incessantly I fight the war inside my head its all ill ever bleed I feel it comin on again i count the ways I'm not your progeny A moment to the memory where the failures led to insanity and i mark off the days that I put between I count the ways I will never be you

about

This is a re-release of our 2019 EP.

Our decision to remix/remaster this record just over a year after originally releasing it was a heavy topic of discussion within the band. Ultimately we weren't happy with the sound of the original release. We didn't feel excited to show it off and as the months passed we realized nobody was really listening to it. The few people checking out our music would gravitate towards our first EP "Broken from the Start" which, while still a bit raw, sounds much more polished.

We rushed in the studio, didn't record to a proper click, and overall were just not fully prepared when we booked our studio time. The end result was an EP that sounded very rough and uneven. It had a raw, almost live sound. Which has its charm, but didn't properly capture the energy we bring to our music. This was our fault. Our original engineer did what he could within the constraints we put ourselves under, but ultimately we were the ones who were unprepared.

Earlier this year we offered our friend Rico Ruotolo, an excellent recording engineer, a shot at remixing a song to hear what he could do to make it sound better. He cleaned up the track so well that soon after this little test turned into a full EP remix with additional guitar tracking to beef up the original sound. There was no going back.

So here we are now. Just over a year later with a remix/remaster of The Sacred and the Scarred.
