As Apocalypse Unfolds
Early 1980s hardcore punk with extremely raw, chaotic DIY production and relentless speed. Very short song structure, furious tempo, primitive distorted guitar riffs played with nonstop downstrokes, overdriven bass buried under the mix, and frantic drums that sound barely controlled. Timing is sloppy and unstable, like a basement rehearsal from a band that only learned the songs yesterday. Vocals are harsh, desperate, and screamed through a blown-out microphone, cracking under strain and constantly peaking into distortion. Gang shouts erupt in the chorus with unhinged energy. Recording quality is brutally lo-fi: cassette hiss, clipping, muddy mix, room echo, feedback squeals, accidental noise, and uneven volume levels all left untouched. No polish, no studio precision, only raw aggression and urgency. Mood: alienation, frustration, urban decay, youthful anger, and total DIY chaos. Feels like a forgotten underground hardcore tape from 1982 copied a hundred times between friends.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Madmen built this tower
We all know that it will fall
But drunk and blind from power
You still stand proud and tall
Chorus
No need to look at our mistakes
No need to scrutinize
Once the camel's back is gonna break
We have lost this fight
Verse 2
Madmen built these walls
We all know they cannot hold
With fear we hear your calls
As apocalypse unfolds
Chorus
No need to look at our mistakes
No need to scrutinize
Once the camel's back is gonna break
we have lost this fight
Verse 3
From madmen we descended
With them we'll share our grave
I still hope for better endings
To save what there's to save
Chorus
We need to look at our mistakes
We need to scrutinize
Can't allow the camel's back to break
We shan't lose this fight
Chorus
We need to look at our mistakes
We need to scrutinize
Can't allow the camel's back to break
We shan't lose this fight
Outro
We shan't lose this fight
We shan't lose this fight
