The misery, futility, and madness of modern urban life combining abrasive and gritty black metal with hallucinatory ambience. The new album centers around modern urban living (and looks to a near future of megacities) where the city itself is a personified, malevolent being where human empathy and culture have been replaced by artificial intelligence. https://www.hypnoticdirgerecords.com/kassad.php https://www.facebook.com/kassadband/ Lyrics: The city on the hill Calls me for herself Wants to own me Like all her empty souls That live inside her walls A digital slave hoard Eternal fires in code The city breathes you in The city is their skin Human minds punished by a god AI, forged to hate in human flaws It will find you The city on the hill Wants me for herself The city breathes me in The city is my skin
