I find myself followed by the unassailable specter of depression:
a mournful black dog that sits beside me always, staring.
And like having a scarf wrapped too tight about my throat, my wrists bound behind my back I lay in thralldom.
To be tossed into a river, gripped by the current and choking for want of air (and movement, and mirth…).
I lay thus entombed
in sheets
of fabric
and coral, ever
wondering when
my bonds shall
be cut loose.
Be a bridge
unto my weeping
so I can cross
over this valley
without being snared
by the machinations
of my mind
and weary heart. For a maiden sits upon my chest and I know not how to move her.

Aggressive, intense, extreme music (punk, hardcore, metal) should be raw and bullshit free, stripped of self-indulgent "mood setting" riffs and arrangements to produce its effect. PUNCH and "They Don't Have to Believe" is a paradigm of this ethos 'par excellence' as they say. _teeth

French Screamoの中でも2000年代を代表する存在、Daitroの2009年アルバム『Y』が2020年に再発! どうやら2000年代再評価の流れは止まりそうにない。だが当時の激情バンド達の扱いを思うとようやくその評価軸が定まったようにも思う。むしろDaitroの表現、Funeral Dinerの表現、そしてkillieの表現の根底に共鳴していたものが2010年代のポリコレ時代を経て価値を取り戻しているようにすら感じる。白か黒か、正義か悪か、その先にお互いが理解しあえる世界は訪れるのか?それは我々ひとりひとりの行動次第、それぞれの日々の蓄積。その一歩を歩み出すことだ。表現の根底にある思想、主張を音に落とし込む過程において彼らの進化は必然だったと思う。当たり前のメッセージを伝えるために、遠回りをしながら激情を振るいにかけていく。最後まで個人を信じる彼らの表現は美しく儚い。 MZTN
