Seven tracks of grinding metallic punk analyzing want, desperation, and blight in the face of hoarded and exploited abundance. “Music for the pillars and workers of the gears.”
Mere Phantoms play hardcore with politically and socially conscious lyrics, and on "Famine For a Slow Death" are conceptually in line with the best elements of 90's hardcore, but through a sonic filter more akin to Orchid, Catharsis, or Thou. Featuring electronics by Nyodene D and other secret commies from the Rustbelt.
Single sided LP with screened b-side, including a zine featuring essays and lyrics on recycled paper. DJ-styled sleeves with hand-glued covers featuring original art by Dylan Garrett Smith.
