About Me

A droning incandescant pulse under a skyline marred by the three towers of the powerstation it's blinking red lights for no one. An exercise in taking the monotone to it's unmusical zenith. A blasting howl perverted by the endless piles of rubble and scarred concrete that were once the heart of the city echoing on and on in septic waves of dissonance. The empty souls of the dying machines still speak though unheard. Destroying music like this city destroys itself. Baptising the broken concrete-wrapped earth with our saliva as we spit on it in disgust and piss on it without respect. The animals crawl and eat our garbage. We provide the filth. This city can die and it's doing a good job so far. The sound of blood behind your ears in total silence. We are there.
