Un urlo straziante ed angosciato dice "Is this all the world has to offer?", un urlo che ti emoziona, ti entra dentro, ti trafigge lasciandoti fermo, steso lì, sul pavimento. La stessa voce canta "Please fight for me". . .
Brock Lindow è il cantante dei 36 Crazyfists, nonchè autore di tutti i testi e pezzo forte della formazione che proviene dall'Alaska. La RoadRunner mette sotto contratto questa band dal nome alquanto bizzarro e i 36 PugniPazzi, in barba a tutti i trend modaioli, incidono "Bitterness the Star". "Slit Wrist Theory" è il primo singolo. Melodico, malato, triste e incazzato. Dall'Alaska portano in dote la freddezza e la solitudine in brani che spaziano tra metal, post-hardcore e qualche venatura di nu-metal.
Non una piega, non un "rappato" che tanto và di moda, non un'apertura troppo melodica. No compromessi. Prendere o lasciare.
Lindow scrive "Two Months From A Year" qualche traccia dopo una chitarra distorta e malinconica attaca un suono, un urlo e poi la disperazione "Still i'm falling, still i'm falling". La canzone in questione è "Ceramic", una delle più belle.
Un growl dice "Circle the Drain". Bastano pochi secondi e la sezione ritmica ripete fino all'inverosimile lo stesso motivo, Brock continua a disperarsi "It shows me nothing at all". Una piccola pausa e attacca il chorus che ripete "Circle the Drain" tra il melodico e il growl.
La voce del frontman è versatile, malata distorta al naturale capace di passare bene attraverso chitarre precise ed incalzanti.
Tutto si spegne. Tutto si chiude. La musica non ti aggredisce più. Lindow non morde più.
La chitarra acustica suona e ha il sapore amaro delle lacrime. Una canzone triste. Brock Lindow ti emoziona ancora, fino alla fine. "I want to look you in your eye".
Tutto si spegne. Tutto si chiude. Questa volta per davvero. Destabillizante questo disco. Ti lascia esterefatto. Incredibilmente bello. Sentito. Emozionante.
Non hanno un nome famoso. Ma questo disco è uno dei più belli degli ultimi anni.

01 Turns to Ashes (03:17)
I'm not sick, I'm just a boy
Sifting through the newfound lie
And I'll be crawling through these ashes and dissecting
All these flies
Since the sun has died and it is still somewhat July
Is this all the world has to offer?
And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me
One more piece inside these lines
Deeper harms my disguise
And everyone is different so everyone is sly
And everything's still horrible since everyone still dies
Is this all the world has to offer?
And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me
No one is safe
02 One More Word (03:39)
Spill it all over, just like you used to
Reason to be strong
But you don't like me, but you don't even know me
I will save me, I will save me
Please fight for me
Shut down in another light, in a hole not yet sewn
Words that madeyou sickened inside
But you sucked down in a steady strife
and you bleed without halo
I can tell you now, I can tell you now
Please fight for me
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down
It's all inside, so far
It's all inside
One more word, I'm asking you to come and get it
You don't want to wake up and kiss it goodbye
Please fight for me
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down you don't know us all
Shut down
It's all inside, so far
It's all inside, so far
04 Eightminutesupsidedown (03:17)
Nothing new for you now, how can you bury?
Filling up all your eyes and never swearing
With your embrace I receive, receive the enemy
Is this the Christ that you need or not the Christ that you need?
Where do you gain your strength?
One look and you will know
Who chokes on boxes of fucking pills?
Choking on your thoughts of what used to be
She's clothed with the silk
Waiting to be drained dry
And the echoes will come
They'll come all around
And drain us all...dry
They'll drain us all dry
As we gag on the dust of the everyday
I choke on one more reminder you know I'm alone
Where do you gain your strength? I wish I knew...
Where do you gain your strength? I wish I knew...
She's clothed with the silk
Waiting to be drained dry
And the echoes will come
They'll come all around
And drain us all...dry
They'll drain us all dry
Faith has led the way...dismantle
05 Slit Wrist Theory (04:01)
With the absence of eye i can start to bleed again
and the colour of hearts, it seems that you wear right thin
and as it falls from your mouth it seems like you needed it more
well i can still ask for more, i could still ask for more
[chorus]
get the fuck out, stay the fuck out
it makes me sick (im alright)
slit wrist theory, stains us all
lace me up
lace me up
Im still looking for these angels in the snow (2x)
It seems like a runaround
words that wont matter
and as it falls from your mouth it seem like you needed it more
and i will colour you all red, i will colour you all....red
get the fuck out, stay the fuck out
it makes me sick (im alright)
slit wrist theory, stains us all
lace me up
lace me up
Im still looking for these angels in the snow (2x)
(braided conversation)
get the fuck out, stay the fuck out
it makes me sick (im alright)
slit wrist theory, stains us all
And caved the fuck in, and bashed the fuck in, its so old
Slit wrist theory, stains us all
SLIT WRIST!
lace me up
lace me up
im still looking for these angels in the snow
Lace me up....
06 Bury Me Where I Fall (03:35)
Come brush away these fists and I will tell you
everything
I hope you know how long I'm lacking
So carve my name and take me to the strength under it all
Then bury me where I fall
Push and pull like sex machines, like sex machines
Push and pull like sex machines, like sex machines
Questioning if I should even be here
I won't make that same mistake
And taking to bed all these things that I hate
I will complain, I will complain
A bleeding light has made us all just want to wash away
And best believe I want it blinding
Under it all I black out holes and glorify disguise
Still draining me from all this strife
Push and pull like sex machines, like sex machines
Push and pull like sex machines, like sex machines
Questioning if I should even be here
I won't make that same mistake
And taking to bed all these things that I hate
I will complain, I will complain
Stare at the sun
Staring at the sun...
Questioning if I should even be here
I won't make that same mistake
And taking to bed all these things that I hate
I will complain, I will complain
...Bury me where I fall
07 Dislocate (03:45)
I taste words you divide, want to cover up
Temporary lies
And I see how you pressed your skin on limb
How much thicker it is, how much thicker
Mark my words
Voice comes through the mesh, a sign of safety
Temporary smile
Cross my heart, I'll protect my own
How much thicker it is, how much thicker
Mark my words
Dislocate yourself
And this is enough poison for me
Spilling the guilt
09 Chalk White (03:41)
Pieces of you, spread all over, torn in two
Forwardbackward
Save yourself, from nothing, from no one
Forwardbackward
You better get yourself out of it
You better get yourself out of it
You think you're right but it ain't right
You think it's right but it ain't right
Cease the slide, use the talent God gave you
Forwardbackward
You better get yourself out of it
You better get yourself out of it
You think you're right, but it ain't right
You think it's right, but it ain't right
Forwardbackward
Forwardbackward
10 All I Am (04:30)
JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT
NEVER SEE IT IN YOUR TORN WORLD
AND SEEMS LIKE A PLASTIC WORLD
ONE JUST LIKE YOU, ONE JUST LIKE...
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
CAN'T BE MUCH MORE THAN ME
A DEEP-END FAILING TRAGEDY
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
BROKE, BELIEVE IT, DECEIVING
IN YOUR WORLD
AND I KNEW HIM, SOMEONE FALLING
ONE JUST LIKE YOU, ONE JUST LIKE...
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
CAN'T BE MUCH MORE THAN ME
A DEEP-END FAILING TRAGEDY
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
TAKE INSIDE AND BE MORE CAREFUL
DEFEAT LOSS AND GLARE AT FALL
TO GET YOU OFF WHERE I'M GOING
FOLLOWING ALL DOWN
SO I'VE GOT YOU WRAPPED UP... INSIDE
SO I'VE GOT YOU... INSIDE
AND PLASTIC WORLD, CRUMBLES DOWN...
ONE JUST LIKE YOU... JUST LIKE
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
CAN'T BE MUCH MORE THAN ME
A DEEP-END FAILING TRAGEDY
ALL I AM IS ALL I'LL BE
TAKE INSIDE AND BE MORE CAREFUL
DEFEAT LOSS AND GLARE AT FALL
TO GET YOU OFF WHERE I'M GOING
FOLLOWING ALL DOWN
11 Ceramic (03:03)
Soon I will be falling down
The way I always
And I remember falling
And I remember crawling...
Still I'm falling
Have you come down
From all the peeling?
'Cause I remember holy
And only God can save me
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
Take this from me and take it before it dies
'Cause this is the last time I'll speak of...holding you
Still I'm falling...
This is the last time I'll speak of holding you
And you get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall away
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you fall down
You get up and you...you get up and you...fail
12 Circle the Drain (03:41)
I've got myself deep this time
Tons of frustration builds in mine
And it shows me nothing
It shows me nothing at all
Circle the drain
Backward solace right from your side
And you sit and criticize
Shows me nothing
It shows me nothing at all
Circle the drain
I don't need it...I don't
It shows me nothing
It shows me nothing at all
Circle the drain
I don't need it... I don't
13 Left Hand Charity (02:15)
A classroom circle slowly drifts on...
I knew right then I'd carve your name, so I...
Save your charity it's gone too far now as it seems
I drive by your scenery...
All the while I died that night...
Please come back, tell me it's alright
And save your charity it's gone too far now as it seems...
Little boys that misbehave
And I want to look you in your eye...
I want to look you in your eye...
Want to look you in your eye
I want to look you in your eye
