Pederasty 02:38
Trying to understand What happened back then What was I supposed to do? You ask me, “was I abused?” “No,” I say, “Not at all.” Boldface lie, the bruises dissolve Disgusting hands against my skin That six year old boy exposed to Sin Don’t know where to go Don’t know what to do My whole life What the fuck is true? I want this out of my head I want the memory fucking dead I want this out of my head I need this memory dead But every time I close my eyes, I see his eyes staring me down. I see his lips quivering. I see his hands reaching. I thirst for it Hold me down Bind my hands and feet This is how I find meaning Hit me. Hit me motherfucker. Fucking touch me. Don't fucking touch me.

Repent 01:15
Flags draped around the Crucifix like the Jesus of Nazareth is some American Patriot Sanctified by the Pledge of allegiance: “God let our troops be victorious!” Fools, Thieves No difference to me Girls, Boys Dead in the street Stomach is bloated Boney and Sick Starving, dying Covered in piss Fiery judgement on those who send men to die Wrath and destruction on any rifle holding life

Dismal array of corpses Bodies twisted as one Trenches and foxholes know this Story of Dead Loved Ones (it's our) Funeral Grief Song I can't take the bullets I can't take the death I can't take the gunshots The sound is making me deaf I can't take anymore _______.

Unauthorized 01:49
Call me what you want It won't change a thing Every single word adds to your self made identity Negotiate, slavery, or tyranny is your only choice You want to be my slave master and restrict my voice And I feel your hand close the cage You fucking bitch You sell yourself out to all your peers You fucking whore What is left in my heart and my mind; it sickens me I feel your hand across my throat The more I think the less I breathe Thought control in my mind Thought control in my life.

Taste the sweet fruit/skin Is that a dove? No, it’s a hawk Embarrassed of your skin You hide among the mice and thieves And the saloon down past the interstate is full of people just like me We crossed the line It was there now it’s here We crossed the line again We’re embarrassed of our skin Run away now Sickness wrapped in guilt We studied the plan we know it well Grace wrapped in selfishness Selflessness, a curse among us I see the birds fly I see them sweep down low Like a flood (No lines to cross, it all flows)

about

Porcupine’s relentless effort to create comes to a head on “The Sibyl”.

Since the band’s inception in 2017 they have shown that there is no lack of willingness to grow as an artist, even if that means simultaneously defining who they are as a band and then smashing it to bits. This seems to be the nature of the band as they continue to navigate their brand of noisy and abrasive hardcore all while not squarely fitting into the genre itself. Over the years the band has continued to hone in on their craft through a series of demos, split releases and EPs (mostly self recorded) and create a name for themselves with their chaotic and cathartic live shows. “The Sibyl”, a 6 song EP even featuring some re-worked past songs, acts as the new high of the band’s efforts.

“The Sibyl” offers up Porcupine’s brand of abrasive, fast and dark sound while also seeing the band lean into their slower and more dramatic side (ala recent covers of Swans and Suicide). “The Sibyl” is a sign of growth for the band. Notable in everything from the unguarded lyrics, eerie sound clips, signature screams and disorderly guitar.
