Born prey Fall behind I see the devil in his eyes Your prayer makes you prey and keeps you blind I can't help you are you're bleeding fucking dry It seems I can't help you to see through all the lies Wool Eyes Burned Ache Earn Sin Pray Die Die The invasion of solace on Sundays Preying on all the horrid ways you've ached The camel meets the needle while your hands peel from the blisters When was the last time the help you asked for was delivered Never You never from God You never felt relief I only watched you cry This pain will follow me until I die

The Appalachian Mountains are best known for its deep and rich folklore surrounding mythical creatures and ominous happenings throughout its magical rolling hills. But the true story of the region is much less fantastical and much more despairing. The region has a long and painful history of exploitation of natural resources, abuse of labor rights, genocide of indigenous peoples, addiction, and a plague of predatory evangelism. This 5-track demo seeks to address some of the pains of the place I call home.

This demo was recorded late 2022 through early 2023.
