orders open October 15th @9am PST for cassettes via ZBR
Thank fucking lord the drummer shakeup didn't break this band up and now their back with a new six-song EP appropriately titled 'Breakup songs' minus two members plus one new one. There's tapes from ZBR going up on October 15th @9am PST but we only had time to pump out 35 before the release, so once those are gone we'll make another 100 easy. Seriously, you are not ready for this EP! The band gave some insight, read below:
"This is the last song we wrote with our last drummer before disbanding with him, a song we were really proud of, thinking it was gone forever! Till we fortunately invited our good friend Tanner to be the new drummer and finished the song with everyone collaborating on it. The song is named after Tanner's dog, Axel Peart. Trying to find a title when we finished mixing, we looked around Tanner's living room and decided that Axel was way too cool of a dog to not name it after him. This song goes out to Tanner for helping us keep this band alive <3"
(2024) GXLLIUM! "Axel Peart" (from 'Breakup songs')
Right from the get-go GXLLIUM! goes immediately for the jugular with chaotic instrumentals that harness a lot of panic chords, blast beats, and wonky, almost Psyopus-esque guitar originality. After the initial minute of headfuckery, the song shifts into a lot slides and breakdowns before cutting out faraway, haunted screams and minimal instrumentals until 1:43 when the song combines the dreamy soft with the devastatingly heavy and it's fucking beautiful. The final minute is more epic in nature and focuses more on tying up the song instead of constant jaw-drops. Lyrics below!
you had me, you had me
You're left behind and you wonder why
Live
Laugh
As I live in your house
As we paint our picture
Death
Cry
As I live in my car
Outside of your house
A comically places static television
Alone
In the room I got for us
I hear your feet over thresholds
As you binge hotel rooms
Your moans ring like greeting cards in my ribcage
Your pictures are Christmas ornaments
Taken down on a February afternoon
Being so young love dies so soon
Blow up the sun like I’ve never fucking seen it before
Crash the car like I’ve never even loved you before
If god seen what you done he would take you out himself
If god loved me he would kill you at my fucking request
