about
The individual goes into battle knowing in his heart that the actions he carries out on behalf of the state are fundamentally flawed and malevolent.
lyrics
How do we live? And how do we fail?
Sharpshooter’s gotten some doubts on his mind.
His village is closer and closer to law.
Foot soldiers dragging their feet to the crime.
Their houses are built on foundations of straw.
How do we live? And how do we fail?
One little thing — you’re not alone.
One fucking thing — you’re not alone.
The sand flows black.
Crisis of faith to come until the desert blooms.
Repress the greatest war — crisis of faith to come.
Guard well the sin within — crisis of faith to come.
Sharpshooter’s gotten some doubts on his mind.
His village is closer and closer to law.
Foot soldiers dragging their feet to the crime.
Their houses are built on foundations of straw.
How do we live? And how do we fail?
One little thing — you’re not alone.
One fucking thing — you’re not alone.
The sand flows black.
Crisis of faith to come until the desert blooms.
Repress the greatest war — crisis of faith to come.
Guard well the sin within — crisis of faith to come.

Let It Come From Whom It May
by Tyranny Is TyrannyJason and Russell's new band is twin-guitar post-noiserock focusing on dynamics, repetition, and the dismantling of capitalism.

The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism
by Tyranny Is TyrannySecond record: more sparse post-punk as well as more open-ended, harmonically daring territory. Still heavy, but with an increasing emphasis on subtlety and dynamics.
