Austin, Texas based electro-industrial duo Dread Risks are to release their fourth single/ official video, “Extinction Form” from their well-received 2022 full-length, 'Automated Disappointment' on Re:Mission Entertainment.
Says the band, “Extinction Form truly embodies our metal influence, and we’re excited to present this frenetic and claustrophobic video shot and edited by Ian Flux at Monican Audio (Los Angeles). After his great work editing ‘Trace Amounts’, we jumped at the chance to get Ian behind the camera to complete the total experience.”
lyrics
When did you become impervious to reason
These lines evaporate and decay concedes to permanence
Always knew what lay in wait, believe whatever keeps you warm
Still refuse to evacuate, cradling the charred remains
Buried underneath like god
Burning with conviction
Buried underneath like god
Selling absolution
Mutation, just another broken machine to discard
Impoverished soul enamored with control
How have you become impervious to reason
Buried underneath like god, oblivious to extinction
Evaporate, these fading lines, willing to separate and leave you to die
Disappearing into decay, unable to recognize the intended design
When did you become impervious to reason
Revoke the name possessed in conflict
You were never meant to survive
Revoke the name possessed, ungiven
Cling to the wreckage as it were still a monument

Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt... yona

the only thing that hold this album back is the way the vocals are processed. i wish they sounded less robotic, but the music is still amazing cassandra
