At the Bottom of the Gravity Well
from Principality of Mechanical Violence by SOULMASS
lyrics
We won't deny the screams of our planet
Nor turn away from the promise of new frontiers
We cast aside the home so few cherished
To live our lives in the hope it will heal with years
None will defy the cycle of violence
The more we change, the more it stays the same
Humanity's generations carry the blame
Cursed blood debts that cannot be ignored
New rifts arise and the sides are thrown to war
We all return to the point where nothing has been learned
Every death sets the wheel in motion
“Eye for an eye,” we cry with blind devotion
To a cause feeding off our suffering
While those in power reap the benefits that it brings
Our souls are weighed down by gravity
Nor turn away from the promise of new frontiers
We cast aside the home so few cherished
To live our lives in the hope it will heal with years
None will defy the cycle of violence
The more we change, the more it stays the same
Humanity's generations carry the blame
Cursed blood debts that cannot be ignored
New rifts arise and the sides are thrown to war
We all return to the point where nothing has been learned
Every death sets the wheel in motion
“Eye for an eye,” we cry with blind devotion
To a cause feeding off our suffering
While those in power reap the benefits that it brings
Our souls are weighed down by gravity

Calling a 2-track release an EP is bold, but bold is a perfect word to describe Justicar, & despite the short track quantity, the release digests like an EP. Robust & substantive enough to not feel like a single, while short enough to leave a listener hungry for a fulllength. Absolutely ripping, catchy, expertly-executed guitar work; present, clanky, meaty bass; airtight drumming; & soaring, broad-ranged vocals. Strikes an excellent balance between feeling fresh, & like classic power metal.
