This is the end. Sarah’s sleeping quietly next to me, smiling as a sick child would do.
She has two red holes on the right side.
We won’t have had the world we were looking for…
But they never succeeded in submitting those they needed to hate.
The Australian military junta holds us at gunpoint now.
The terms of their contract are clear :
- Either we accept to end up quarantined in Nauru
- Or we'll be kicking the holy bucket, filled with sea waters, under the Indian Ocean.
Resting now on my lap, Sarah’s face reminds me how so clear the terms of our own deal are now, clearer than they have ever been before… They’ll never succeed in submitting those they needed to hate.
LET’S CROSS THE ACHERON
Tout est fini. Sarah dort paisiblement à coté de moi,
souriant comme sourirait un enfant malade.
Elle a deux trous rouges au côté droit.
On n’aura pas eu le monde que nous voulions…
Mais jamais ils n’auront réussi à soumettre ceux qu’ils avaient eu besoin de haïr.
La junte militaire australienne nous tient maintenant en joue.
Les termes de son contrat sont clairs :
_ Soit nous acceptons de finir en quarantaine sur Nauru
_ Soit nous mangerons l’Ostie par la racine dans les eaux indiennes
Reposant maintenant sur mes genoux, le visage de Sarah me rappelle à quel point les termes du nôtre ne l’ont jamais autant été… et que jamais ils ne réussiront à soumettre ceux qu’ils avaient eu besoin de haïr.

Rosetta never fails to hit on every level. The Red in Tooth and Claw SP808 remix is ethereal, haunting and deeply beautiful in its re-imagining of one of Rosetta's classic tracks. deathtoallpoets

All of this apologetic wrist wringing of the vocals is extremely lame. They are awesome. That said, I am a fan of Unsane, Drive Like Jehu, Barkmarket, and Big Black. Strong release. Brien Hindman

The record that introduced me to the great and sweet little discography of Totem Skin. And I didn't came here for the boobs! There is something harsh and depressing about their style of playing Blackened Crust, that I can't describe. A shame they disappeared but they left us something to appreciate! Mosees
Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2016

The instrumentation alone is so viscerally emotive and still outstanding on a technical level… Add to that the masterfully raw vocals and profoundly beautiful lyrical imagery, and you’re left with one of the most soul-stirring pieces of music in all of rock’s history. Simply the greatest screamo band of all time. There is nothing quite like it. Audrey
