TAKN (ft. Caustic)

from Emotion Blur: Selections by Mechanical Vein

about

'Emotion Blur: Selections' is the long-awaited debut EP from Mechanical Vein. A truly unique take on bass music, this EP's core is Drum & Bass, with a furious blend of midtempo/industrial/hip-hop/metal influences. With visceral lyrical themes ranging from political unrest to deep human connection, this EP is equally suited to the heart, the fist, and the dance floor.

This release is mastered by Zardonic, bringing his unique flair and experience with hybrid genre work. It is a selection of tracks from the upcoming LP, 'Emotion Blur', and a taste of things to come.

....................................

In the early days of Mechanical Vein, Keith promised that the debut EP would aim to raise money for the Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research. As such, any proceeds from this EP's Bandcamp sales (minus mastering costs) will be 100% donated to the foundation, in memory of his late father Douglas.

lyrics

Rollin' through the streets I creep through the city light
A firestorm seeks the vacant inside
Got Caustic at my side and the night feels right
To take out every motherfucker that poisoned this life
Kickin' through the door, Blazin' through the barricade
Tuck you in tight, buried deep in the bed you made
They got away with murder just to leave another stain
Better run for your life 'cause we're takin' ass and kickin' names

Burnin' down the house when the deck is stacked heavy
I'll flood you out when I break down the levee
Black out the sun with your filth
We'll take you out, take it to the hilt
You wanna play with fire
Yeah well baby come on
We'll detonate you like an atom bomb!
(AN ATOM BOMB!)
You wanna stack the pyre
Motherfucker come on
We're takin' ass and kickin' names 'til the break of dawn!

Takin' ass and kickin' names
Takin' ass and kickin' names

Drag 'em outta DC through the streets and the gutters
Through the war-torn soil stained deep with our brothers
Drag 'em outta their lair through the alley of the addict
They shiver, shake, won't let 'em break the habit
Cross into our domain, we won't miss
Send you to whatever bullshit god you wish
Rain down in a hail of fire, Can you feel the flames?
Better duck and cover 'cause we're takin' ass and kickin' names

Swine on the throne, gonna take it down
Perverse halo swings like a crooked crown
Can you feel the panic, Can you taste the fear?
All I know is that you don't belong here
You wanna play with fire
Yeah well baby come on
We'll detonate you like an atom bomb!
(AN ATOM BOMB!)
You wanna stack the pyre
Motherfucker come on
We're takin' ass and kickin' names 'til the break of dawn!

Takin' ass and kickin' names
Takin' ass and kickin' names
