Urgency

You wake from dreaming
Your conscience screaming
Now, you see: it’s not a drill or a dream.
It’s here and it’s now and it’s real
Feel the urgency
You look me in the eye and tell me it’s fine, well, I guess you never really knew what it felt like
As they came for us one by one
Now there’s no one left to stand for you
You must fight alone!
Now… You Rise!
Now… You Rise!

President God
04:25
|

|
All hail the resurrection ready for the new election
All praise the congregation that’s paying for a God like me
Fuck your souls - I want your votes
To restore this ideological deity
I’ll make your God great again while the faith trickles down to you
And the power to Me
President God
For the resurrection
President God
Preaching destruction, preaching hate
Preaching fear so you can relate
Convince you all that you’re not the same
Divide you up so I can shift the blame
And while you’re distracted, fighting each other
Raping your sisters, killing your brothers
I cut my own deals and then I grab anything I want
So it’s in God’s hands
President God
For the resurrection
President God
For reelection
No more truth - no more lies - just non-stop chaos to blur the lines
No more left - no more right - no term limits - no end in sight
You got what you want - You get what need - You reap what you sow
I’m President God for Life
For the resurrection
President God
For reelection
President God
For the resurrection
President God
For reelection

Primetime Annihilation
04:12
|

|
Welcome to my show
Where no one looks away
Where sex, excess and violence are always on display
Where truth is spun and lies are told
Loyalties bought and dreams are sold
And the more you watch and the more you hate – the more that I get paid
Primetime annihilation, Primetime annihilation for all to see
Primetime annihilation, Primetime – a show that’s all about me
I know you like to watch me
Violate your screen each day
You can love me, hate me, kill me or fuck me
My ratings are all the same
You want it rough - harder, deeper, faster…
Like a front row seat to the next disaster
As you watch your own destruction – you can’t help but be entertained
Primetime annihilation, Primetime annihilation for all to see
Primetime annihilation, Primetime – a show that’s all about me
Primetime annihilation, Primetime annihilation for all to see
Primetime annihilation, Primetime – a show that’s all about me
Primetime, Primetime, Primetime
Annihilation
Decimation
Manipulation
It’s all about Me

One Party System
04:23
|
|||
|
My people don’t have to like me – they just have to love me
My people don’t have to like me – they just have to love me
As they fall to their knees in loyalty and worship no other above me
I make sure they know I’m the only choice they’ve got
It never fails
My people don’t want to be free – they just wanna feel free
My people don’t want to be free – they just wanna feel free
I give them so many choices, they reach for a fake dream
Something to chase to the end of their days and keep them working
It’s a one party system - stay at home
It’s a one party system - It’s mine alone
It’s a one party system - so stay at home
It’s a one party system - and it’s mine alone
Multiple choices are fascinating
Makes you feel like you’re participating
I hold you down and right before you drown, I lift you up so you can breathe
Give you just enough to make you doubt so I can make you all believe
It’s a One Party System
I’ll give pigs their angel wings in heaven
I’ll give your hogs a god of their own
I’ll give you a pig in every office
I’ll give you a hog in every home
It’s a One Party System
It’s a one party system - stay at home
It’s a one party system - It’s mine alone
It’s a one party system - so stay at home
It’s a one party system - and it’s mine alone
Pigs get fed - Hogs get slaughtered

Love, Sex & Revolution
04:56
|
|||
|
Pushed too far, we spiral toward disaster
This utopian dream is unraveling faster than an axis of evil spinning out of control
Eroding this world and my tortured soul
So I’m taking back the life that once was me
Echoes and shadows of who I used to be
Existential, raw emotion
Lust, blind faith and pure devotion
The tyranny and hypocrisy in society
Doesn’t faze you
I want you to know who they really are
You want it all for free
Well, destroy your illusion
In this society we sell Love and Sex and Revolution
You want a piece of me?
So there’s no confusion:
You have to buy all three - you get Love and Sex and Revolution
I guess we tell ourselves the lies we need to hear to survive
I guess we sell ourselves the dreams we need to believe to feel alive
You want it all for free
Well, destroy your illusion
In this society we sell Love and Sex and Revolution
You want a piece of me?
So there’s no confusion:
You have to buy all three - you get Love and Sex and Revolution
The tyranny, the hypocrisy, the fantasy doesn’t save you
I want you to know who you really are
You want it all for free
Well, destroy your illusion
In this society we sell Love and Sex and Revolution
You want a piece of me?
So there’s no confusion:
You have to buy all three - you get Love and Sex and Revolution
You know you can’t own me
And there’s no solution in a society without
Love, Sex and Revolution

The Sidelines
05:00
|
|||
|
You’ve got to get yourself free – so you don’t die
Make yourself immortal so you’ll understand
Pick yourself up from the sidelines
So you can get in game and survive as long as you can
Make yourself clean
You gotta wash away the sins inside you
Make room for more so you can do it all over again
Burn away what’s inside you to the ground
The fire is going to set you free
One by one they begin to falter
Nature has a way of extinguishing evil
The side of you that’s left alive will change the world and the enemy’s mind
You can pray to the God who will love you the most
Your paranormal Holy Ghost
A truth or a lie? It’s yours to decide
But you’ll never really know unless you’re brave enough to burn it all down
What’s inside you to the ground
The fire will warm your soul
Break away from the sidelines
Now the light in your eye… will it shine this time… enough to save you, keep you and get you back home?
Break away this time, cross the sidelines
Breaking away this time
Cross the sidelines – carry the fire
Breaking away this time
Cross the sidelines – carry the fire
Breaking away this time
Cross the sidelines learning to carry the fire
Breaking away this time
Cross the sidelines – carry the fire
Breaking away this time
Cross the sidelines learning to carry the fire

Uprising
06:53

It’s safe to say you’ve got me where you want me
Gun at my head, bound and on my knees
The power in your hands is an illusion
And I’ve got a little surprise
You’re gonna see...
A solider always does what his leaders tell him
A solider always serves his master well
A solider never falters, never questions if he’s the one inside the prison cell
Shoot now and find out
Shoot now and find out
Shoot now and find out, we’ll see
Shoot now and find out
Shoot now and find out
Shoot now and find out who’s free
You or me?
In the end you are a prisoner just like me
A hollowed shell of who you used to be
And since I can’t find a way to get you back your dignity
I’ll take the bullet for us both so you can act like you are free
Shoot now
And find out who’s free
You or Me?
You know it’s me
So pull your trigger and start my uprising

Hydra
04:54
|
|||
|
I don’t have to live for me to survive
I’m more powerful dead than you are alive
Two makes four and doubles the hive
I spread like wildfire to grow and thrive
It’s an idea, not a man, who will take you down
A belief, not a war, that will remove your crown
Death smiles at you as you’re consumed with the sounds
Of millions of voices all screaming aloud:
“I am the Hydra to end your reign
Cut me down - two remain
Kill those too and there’ll be more of the same
A legion of hydras destroys your name”
For tyrants like you, it always ends like this
You die in your bunker in cyanide bliss
Or alone, pathetic in your own pool of piss
You’re all cartoon characters that no one will miss
I am the Hydra to end your reign
Cut me down - two remain
Kill those too and there’ll be more of the same
A legion of hydras destroys your name

Epilogue
08:02
|

|
I know I stumble and I fall
Never meant to hurt anyone at all
In the end you know I’d trade my life away
For a chance just to see you once again
So now that it’s over and we’re at the end
I hope I will see you once again
All my life I fought the enemy
Come to find all along it was only me
Demons multiplied as I pissed my life away
I should have loved you more instead
So now that it’s over and we’re at the end
I hope I will see you once again
So now it’s all over and it all ends
I hope you can love me once again
Lying on the edge of eternity
Cells collapse and create the dark unknown
I embark on life’s last great adventure
Slip away into the place that we all go
So now that it’s over and it all ends
I hope I can meet you once again
So now it’s all over and it all ends
I hope you can love me once again

CHANT recommends:
RELIC continues to be one of my favorite bands to come across during my travels touring with CHANT. Dark, hard hitting, sensually electronic and 100% genuine. Live: Insanely powerful!
go to album
Sometimes you come across something you just love and cannot stop listening to. KLACK is that band. If Coup De Grâce doesn't take you back to a classic Front 242 vibe, then you are dead inside.

Instant Exorcism
by Curse Mackey
Curse Mackey channels dark, sexy moods and subversive chaos into everything he does [Evil Mothers, Grim Fairies, Pigface] so it makes sense that his solo effort would exceed all expectations!

Kickin Ass is one of the coolest fckn songs I ever heard. I wish there was an extended version. The remixes are not nearly as cool as the original. PIG nailed that old school 80s industrial throwback vibe. Makes me think of like Pailhead or Ministry or Paula Abdul xD Totally Awesome Album full of sick songs. Seed of Evil.. Oh mann so good

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

Punk, soul, jungle, jazz and more collide in this stunning debut LP.
