Abandonware

SinThya Mikau are back with an intense in-your-face cybernetic return on this EP, clashing an almost Nu-Metal approach to their ever-growing soundscape. The gutterals are gritty and macabre, with blaring guitars and a slick production behind it all. Mikau strike again with this fantastic addition to my collection. Favorite track: Terrorizer.

Unicorn Hole Abandonware is a wonderful mess that feels like the band just let loose and wrote whatever the hell they wanted. Some moments bring OG Slipknot to mind, then you have frantic breakcore sections, and then they'll casually throw in some boppy electronic sections. The EP is fun, raw, catchy, and unique. It's badass, yo. Favorite track: Nechryael.

Nechryael 03:42
You're nothing to no one Consume - it’s all you’ll ever know And then you lecture me like I’m missing out Materialistic obsession, constant degradation Grease the wheel and let it spin I need something more than this Complacent, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t Draw my own path without a map But there’s still blood on my canvas Killing me with your sensibilities Preach about the bottom line, assign a price to human life Useless ideas, a waste of space Performative gestures, your fall from grace 5 minutes in the elevator, 30 seconds until I hit the ground Would you have a single thought? Do you know where your loved ones are now? Disappear for 2 weeks and everyone forgets your name Just another open spot for someone else with a debt to pay Consume - it’s all you’ll ever know And then you lecture me like I’m missing out Materialistic obsession, constant degradation Grease the wheel and let it spin I need something more than this Complacent, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t Draw my own path without a map But there’s still blood on my canvas Tell me one more time that you’re “making a difference” I hope you choke - choke on your self-righteous lies and excuses

Don’t tell me how to feel It’s okay if we don’t cry Don’t tell me what I know It’s hard to say goodbye

Terrorizer 01:57
With a soul so hollow, it becomes hard to swallow Your insecurities are choking me Looking down from an ivory tower A life reduced to existential horror Before you come for me Take a look in the mirror and tell me what you see A selfish existence Anything you want, you take it Grind my mind down to the bone We all rot in the same tomb

Undernet 03:12
I retreat into myself again Destructive thoughts in the back of my head Racing through everything I should have said I retreat into myself again Dissociating, but I hope you’re listening I won’t pray but I know you’ll hear me Tragedy always seems to follow me No matter what I do or say, there’s never a bright day I’m so restless But you’re so helpless I refuse to “be the bigger person” But I'll take what is left in my hands It's hard to accept it But we'll have to endure it Give up your sorrow, give up your grief Why can’t I help make anyone feel complete When everything is gone, we’ll rebuild and start over But if you’re gone, that’s something I can’t get over
