about

Swamp Thing, I think I love you but I wanna know for sure.

lyrics

Rising up from the depths
Clawing through the muck and mire
Arise from the sludge of the swamp
Allec Holland
Avatar of the Green

Creature, No longer man
Body replaced by plant
Can you comprehend
Your own humanity?
Hear the animal call
Element of darkness
In your very soul
Are you a plant dreaming it’s a man
Or are you something more

Savior of the forests
Power of nature in your hands
Can you see the point
Of living in this human world

Sadness, loneliness
The isolation of existence
The Parliament of Trees
Your only guide
Defenders from the past
Their humanity long since
Eroded away

Maintain the stability
Of the natural world
Fight for harmony
In a universe of Chaos

Corruption of power
The will to resist
Animal and Rot
The Red and The Black,
Forces for good or ill,
it matters not who you kill

Flora, Fauna fall to the Rot
Fight for balance
On the edge of a knife
The cycle continues
Until entropy consumes us all

A God walking in this realm
More than human
More than plant
An element
A Force of nature

Enemies of the Green beware
A creature not bound by man’s morality
Here to enact retribution
The cruelty of nature
Its only protector

Bending branch and bough
Rustling through the leaves
Roots digging into the earth
Planting the seed of life

Feel the Sun shining down
Upon you verdant face
The rush of water underground
Life flowing from every pore
Power of creation in the air

You can never know love
The Truth of happiness
Abby, your soul mate
The Tragedy of Fate
The Avatar of Death

Swamp Thing no one can
Ponder your mystery
Timeless elemental force
Your power seems limitless
But do you have a human heart?

about

Slobulus Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Two nerds burrowed into an underground sludge metal chamber and built a punk rock obelisk to smash your brain with concussive force. In the aftermath, a globule of sonic truth remained. It was Slobulus.

Pure Disgust
by Pure Disgust

Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
