“We Deserve to Die“ is a gothic industrial darkwave record acutely focused on man-made apocalypse. Featuring guest vocals by Dylan Travis (Some Ember, Kælan Mikla), artwork by Johnny Decker Miller, and mastered by Martin Bowes (Trepaneringsritualen, NiN, Coil), this is an oppressive work that evokes both sorrow and righteous anger through its unique combination of heavy synthesizers, throbbing beats, and lyrical themes that parallel psychic self-destruction of the individual with the ecological self-destruction wrought by humanity, delivered with deep, death metal-styled harsh vocals. For all its aggression, the record remains surprisingly accessible through emotive composition, driving rhythms, and an ever-present atmosphere of dark ambiance. Released on pro-CDR in digifile case with color lyrics insert by Pacific Threnodies. Shipping 11/19/21.
