Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

FRAIL BODY is a post-hardcore-scream-your-lungs-out turbo from Rockford, Illinois. Recently they announced the follow-up longplayer to their praised debut A Brief Memoriam that put their name on the extreme loud noise-hardcore map in 2019.

The new one is baptized ARTICIAL BOUQUET.
It lands on March 29. Pre-order info here.

They just dropped a second taster, following lead single Refrain. It’s titled DEVOTION.

Lowell Shaffer (frontwoman) says it’s about “my mother’s undying christian faith and what it was like witnessing someone dying coming to terms that their religious beliefs weren’t going to save them from their fate.”

TUTV: Devotion resonates like a bad acid trip to bloody hell. Like a merciless and demonic battle-axe that will chop your soul, your mind and in the end your whole body in pieces. That is exactly what religion does. Slowly but surely. Screamer Shaffer sounds as if his death struggle has started while a horrible wall-of-gruesome havoc tortures him.

I really wonder what kind of stimulants he uses to make him growl and wail in pain, the way he does. This must be what you feel when the electric chair completes its destroying work. Judgement’s Day is just around the corner. MAGA Christians and their God Trump are waiting for you with their Holy crucifix in their hands..

LYRICS

Stride after stride
Just as mine
Further from you
Just as a tomb

Stride after stride
Just as mine
Further from you
Like wise a womb

Empty void in the sky
It comes in waves at night
Where were your arms outstretched
Weren’t you supposed to catch

Voices muted lungs press
Inconsequential empty breath
Hope to find some source of depth
In the darkness nothing coalesced

It comes in waves
Chest pulsate
In a new kind of solitude I lay

Where was god
When you needed him the most
Where was god
Why’d he call you back to your post
