Terrible Things Will Happen to the Ones You Love Most by Dog Complex
The specter of fascism haunted American media for eight decades, its warnings supposedly heeded up until the moment we received the distraction to buy this or sell that. Finally, the word becomes flesh, a horror which only adequately comes through in the extreme dark aesthetics of art like Terrible Things Will Happen to the Ones You Love Most by Dog Complex, a blackened hardcore record which breathes down our backs with the necrotic stench of totalitarianism. Distorted guitar tones swirl together with such ferocity as to reach a point of total abstraction, the initial power of the iron fist giving way to the paranoid hellscape of the surveillance state. Commanding lyrics boldly proclaim a fierce dedication to absolutely nothing, this fascist state serving as an empty shell housing no meaning, no goal, no future. Whether or not we recognize this ideological parasite, still the atrophy continues. In learning its song we start the process of rebuilding, of relearning our fear of this evil to vanquish this beast from the earth.
