lyrics

Not every display of teeth can be sold as a smile.
The intent to bite, gilded with denial.

Our ears and minds, fed platitudes by design, all the while our eyes are missing the signs.

Step out
Of line
Wake up
It's time

Don't place your trust it's a trap
Lies to your face
Knives in your back.
Don't place your faith it's a trap.
A hold that strangles won't relax.

X marks your fate to the hands of a petulant child.
Two pen strokes bind ignorance 4 years wide

An opiate plyed to the hungry ignorant minds. Bold, bare face lies, push hate, fear and bile.

Break your
Restraints
Stand up
To hate

Don't place your trust it's a trap
Lies to your face
Knives in your back.
Don't place your faith it's a trap.
A hold that strangles won't relax.

The world has gone insane, the ridiculous, hateful and cruel rigged the game. Compassion died before our eyes, to let exclusion, division and prejudice rise.

Not every disease has a cure to administer. These are times of uncertainty and sharp bigotry

Please, let's stop the bleed and heal this aggressive disease by destroying the hate like a weed that's choking all reasoning.

Step up
Walk tall
Reverse
It all

Don't place your trust it's a trap
Lies to your face
Knives in your back.
Don't place your faith it's a trap.
A hold that strangles won't relax.

about

Piss Viper Wales, UK

As hard as nails, as sour as piss, as strong as venom; Piss Viper bring a brutal recipe of groove and hardcore to the masses. Blending thick, dirty, bourbon soaked riffs and an aggressive, rhythmic vocal style, they take no prisoners with this sonic assault.

Formed in mid 2014, Piss Viper hit the ground running; releasing their début EP; Horned Hands and Hardened Necks that same year. ... more

Filthiest Sludge record I've ever been deafened by!! Riffs are disgustingly heavy, the pounding of the drums is ferocious, the bass is gnarly as shit, & the vocals are pure evil!! ALL HAIL DOPETHRONE🤘 TheMetalheadGuy

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
