about
Not content to rest on their laurels, Brisbane Hardcore/Groove Metal outlaws MASSIC are preparing to usher in a new era musically for the band, starting with latest single ASSIMILATE.
Currently holed up in the studio completing recording of their sophomore album, Massic make no promises except this: expect the unexpected.
Assimilate is a heavy hitter, slower than previous works, but bigger sounding and chunkier than ever. Taking off where Redshift left off, the song is about how sensationalism and propaganda have become the new normal in today's society. It is a plea to those with their hands on the wheel to stop and think about where we are headed and what effect we as a species are having on Mother Earth. The like-minded amongst us are growing impatient; Earth needs us to rattle the cage. To revolt is all we have left, and Massic are here to lead the charge.
Stripping back the layers and opting for a rawer version of themselves, the new music is already chaotic featuring real drums with no sample-replacement, big distorted guitars and thundering bass all present in one difficult to genre-classify, but easy to digest package.
Assimilate was recorded and produced by renowned producer Clint Vincent (Dead Letter Circus), who is also taking the helm for the as-yet-untitled new album.
lyrics
Uncontrolled whitewash,
Kill to see the view, informant,
Bore a hole, fill it with control,
No choice but to listen,
Satire.... a useless weapon,
Face value has become just that,
Face value has become just that!
Set Us free,
From your evil clutches,
Those jagged talons,
Are digging in, digging in!
Standard become a shambles,
The consumer suffers,
Beg us to listen,
Beg us to follow,
Dreams were so hollow,
We’ve woken up,
We’ve cottoned on,
While you’re swooping,
We’re working on our aim!
Set Us free!
From your evil clutches
Those jagged talons
Are digging in!
Set Us free!
From your evil clutches,
Those jagged talons,
Are digging in,
Digging In, digging In, digging In,
Earth is spinning,
We’ll choke on the fucking dirt,
Fuck your totalitarianism!
Keep drawing blood,
Scope in on us,
Show us what is,
Draw your weapons,
You’d be saving us,
Compound your lust,
Starve innocent,
Draw your Weapons
