District of Dystopia

by OFFICIAL JUCIFER

supported by
Levrikon
Levrikon thumbnail
Levrikon Jucifer's take on DC hardcore, mixed with '90s Scandinavian black metal. Intentionally underproduced, it sounds like it was recorded in a cardboard box, just a blur of mangled riffs, sore-throat yelps, and stuttering drums. Killer if you just want a blast of pure ugliness. Favorite track: It Cant Be Helped.

nidefatt Jucifer is a band full of opinions. They think America's government sucks, for instance, but perhaps not for the same reasons you do. To explore that hatred, the duo coopted the sound of the DC punks, and brutalized it. This album is what you want to listen to when you feel like society is so sick you're ready to see it bomb itself to death. Cheers.

Jay Lane Harsh vocals, hazy riffage and deliberately shitty production make this album Jucifer's ugliest and most brutal output to date. Given the subject matter of this "themed" album, the irony is not lost on me. It's a slight, but welcome departure from their art metal days of yore and more significantly, it is effective. Cheers to Amber and Ed for yet another great album that I'm sure will sound even better in a "live" setting. Favorite track: Non Gratum Anus Rodentum.

war starts at home war starts at home die from the hand up die with the aid you sent to your enemy arm the allies until they turn your own weapons against you kill write the treaties kill impose sanctions against your own tactics arm the allies fire hypocrisy from all chambers war starts at home war starts at home you create your people's death war starts at home war starts at home line your pockets well gorge on little nations' hell with a righteous appetite brandish noble purpose "we're dispensing justice; this is just the process" lie, for the masses have short memories sigh, when your public face requires it always pick a side and never reason why you're not a terrorist if you're sure you're right and if you change your mind it's simple to change sides it's only money spent

Justice 01:56
hide jaws of law cut to the mountains, to the forest, to the swampland, to the cavern to the mountains, to the forest, to the northland, to the underground dying with no rights to justice to life call dying for justice hide with the lights out ride after nightfall hide with the lights out ride after nightfall freedom arbitrary accusation sufficient proof hoods rise up the specter of death set hellhounds to your trail ghastly hordes pursue you brandishing this law like scythes cut away your rights reapers reave your very soul justice double crosses itself to economy hoods rise up the specter of death hollow skulls chatter gibbons of greed they steal your life justice denied they steal your life justice denied they steal your life justice denied

The following lyrics are comprised entirely of quotes from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four: the object of persecution, is persecution the object of torture, is torture the object of power, is power the object of power is power war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance, strength war is peace he who controls the past controls the future who controls the present, controls the past war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance, strength war is peace power is not a means, it is an end the object of power is power power is not a means, it is an end the object of power is power if you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself
