about

This song is about getting really intoxicated but trying to do something right. Spoiler alert this usually ends up with every one crying.

lyrics

We paved the road to the very bottom
Waiting here like prey to picked off
Black abyss and a trail of empties
Grab your closet gun and prepare for the blaze

These fires are the product of pride driven haze

For this I plead, I plead
For your forsaken sympathy
This horse is going down in a god damn blaze
Accept the challenge, take the reigns

These fires are the product of pride driven haze

It ain't over till the fat lady sings
We left her at the side of the road
And she has eaten for days and days and days

There are several ways to stay an anonymous face with everyone around
With the red handed blueprints

You don't sulk
Like you normally do
But the show
Kept rolling down death row
Who can tell the difference between a corpse and a ghost?

So go and live your perfect life, and live it like you said
How you'd always have your open doors
Welcoming every form of a formal threat

Your dumb kids and their dumber kids.

about

Jesus Horse Montreal, Québec

4 dudes from Montreal making loud music about stuff. Not sure how they met, but thankfully they did cause this music is rad. They are also super good looking and incredibly dangerous.

The Molten Larva is one of, if not THE MOST, pissed off track(s) I've ever heard thus far.. tooljirashugg

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

One of my new favorite groups. /Hope and its lyrics (particularly near the end) made me misty eyed. tooljirashugg

This album is packed to the brim with content. Every track is a unique journey, and seems to correspondingly reflect different influences. Fans of seminal mathcore bands like Converge, Botch, and Every Time I Die won't wanna miss this. To quote one of our users: "Best $1 ever spent." Christian Segerstrom
