lyrics
If you answer to, what you perceive to be, a higher authority
Whose only concern is preserving the good name of their fading deity
Then all of your actions will become infallible by proxy
Sweeping under the rug leaves no incentive to stop
A fish rots from the head down
Ostensibly caring shepherds of flocks
Are wolves in disguise
They hide disgusting minds
Behind kind lying eyes
This systemic purity is pure fettered fallacy
And if I can continue with an appropriately phallic analogy;
Clergymen’s members maim and dismember
While arch-diocese lie time and time and time again
The irony must be lost on this cess-pit of sin
As they continue to clip their own angels wings
Forgive the fathers’ indiscretion when they let the demons in
And don’t teach the kids to question or they might question what you’re teaching

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential.
Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023
Noisy Siberian post-punk with mathcore's sense of inventive tempo and vocals that nearly howl with urgent insistence. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2023
