Almost a year since their special feature of top metallic hardcore bands that helped them lift the pandemic blues, Sofia, Bulgaria based self proclaimed “mentalcore” hardcore band RUGGED are back to our pages with their brand new single called “Crematory Fumes”.
The new gritty track comes from the band’s new EP and it explores the rough reality of living past the verge of war.
Driven by their instincts , Rugged are back with a new release which is exactly what you can expect from a Bulgarian heavy hardcore quintet – jagged sound, drenched in misanthropy and rage.
After an active year behind them, playing many local shows and a few on the road, and several improvements in the lineup, the release is a natural step of improvement in their progression that should satisfy hardcore lifers and die hard metal heads alike.
Lyrics:
Our fierce power hunger devours all in sight
Innocent hope trampled by boots and tank tracks
Dystopain nightmares unravel before our eyes
Civilization’s paralysed and everyday we let it slide
Behold the flaming furnace
Emitting the smog of futures lost
Gaze into the days ahead
A legacy of land and flesh up in smoke
Futures lost, our legacy up in smoke
Recon by fire, twisted game of chance
Pawns get a bullet to the head
Technocracy’s many faces of death
Flood the streets with dread
Our fierce power hunger devours all in sight
Innocent hope trampled by boots and tank tracks
Wanton malice has always reigned supreme
World peace appears to be a silly fucking dream
The weak and poor suffer inexplicably
In a cycle of perpetual agony
Suffocate on the crematory fumes
Generation after generation all but doomed
