skybornfrazer An absolute blast of an EP, filled to the brim with big dirty riffs and whisky-soaked hooks, that makes the wait for a new full length that much easier. Favorite track: Hold Fast.

Hold Fast 04:03
Give ‘em every edict free ‘cause it’s for their own fucking good Dress yourself in finery Torn from the cold and the shivering Hold fast Defiant Hold fast Undaunted This tyrant’s faith stands firm ‘cause it’s still for your own fucking good But this lying sun shines infertile Just self-indulgent fucking narcissists Stand tall before the storm What we wear will never fade away Hold fast as the rains fall down We will never fade away Hold fast, defiantly I wear every scar, every adversity Undaunted Gather all your sycophants And tell them it's for their own fucking good Spit all your false sound bites Let the rains try to wash it all away Hold fast Defiant Hold fast Undaunted Stand tall before the storm Stand tall before the storm

Hang up your guns No need for them arms to medicate Never found any calm to speak of When last shots ring out, dull thud on wood 'cause I lost myself in staring At the bottom of an ocean crooked Helpless before a soundless mouth As a figure rose up before me And a voice rang clear I've cut my wings Into torrents of blood and feathers Now won't you follow me? This figure with the weeping wings Outstretched its palms Cuts bloomed from a monstrous idol I took its hand And there I found myself At the bottom of an ocean crooked In front of a soundless mouth Staring deep into the gloom And I woke up blind Hands grasping for the shore Surrounded by blood and feathers And I followed you I paid the silver I took your hand But this silence that I sorely hungered Never lingers long Hang up your guns Oh drown your demons I say hang up your guns And drown your demons God I woke up blind Miles from the shore Feathers fall to gore and ichor Still I followed you I paid the silver I took your hand But this silence that I sorely hungered Never lingers long

Lotus Eaters 03:55
Behold the grey men, wicked welcomes painted thick They lay you down to spread your colours out to see Still smiling wide while they wear your toils as their own Then when the bulbs are burnt they'll find another ride Pose for the congregation Raise both your hands These teeth of pearly white Hide a silver tongue Repeat the script before you Show us that righteous fury Cardinals and lotus eaters Fake tears and empty grace Behind the mask there's really not much to be seen Just hollow parasites and manufactured sympathy They lead the blind, always hungering for more Trading your pain for numbers, full of useless promises Pose for the congregation Raise both your hands These teeth of pearly white Hide a silver tongue Repeat the script before you Show us that righteous fury Cardinals and lotus eaters Fake tears and empty grace Fuck the paladins Fuck this crusade Fuck your theatre No one's a true believer Fuck the paladins Fuck this crusade Fuck your theatre No one's a true believer Just cardinals And lotus eaters Fake tears and empty grace Pose for the congregation Raise both your hands These teeth of pearly white Hide a silver tongue Repeat the script before you Show us that righteous fury Cardinals and lotus eaters Fake tears and empty grace Pose, smile, raise your hands Show us your righteous fury Pose, smile, raise your hands Show us your righteous fury

about

Down In One Nottingham, UK

Back in 2014 four metalheads woke up with world-ending hangovers and a brand new band. We had a simple goal: Play loud, party hard, decimate eardrums. In line with this we called ourselves the only thing that made sense: Down In One.

The line-up may have changed over the years but the game is still the same, we want to be a tidal wave of filthy riffs and unrelenting rhythm.
