We originally put this together for a CD on Slap A Ham in 2001
and then we broke up :(
and then a decade later, we got back together :)
and Emetic records re-released this on both CD and vinyl in 2011
and several years later, Throne records asked to re-re-release it on vinyl only
and then we broke up again :(
and now we have a pile of records to sell :)?

about
Recorded January 3, 1997 and originally released on the "Reality Part #2" compilation on Deep Six records in 1997.
lyrics
A hull of skin covered by anything
shall be labeled, grouped and judged
Once adorned, the body becomes a showcase
Built by the need to belong
Filled with Self mistrust, a lonely human
Peel the skin away, become inhuman
Prey on everything, through displaced anger
Lash out to find you only hurt yourself
False sense of Self Importance
Stripped away, naked and cold
Weak and worthless, lack of meaning
to be just like everyone else
a human being - an animal
stuck on earth- stupid and scared
Trapped in your body- no escape
Forced to face what you really are

Al plays bass on this song

Love the vibe of this project as a whole. SUPER depressed angry music which relies heavily on sound clips and audio collage is my jam especially in sludge. Feels like a more deprived and crusty version of Through Silver in Blood. Either way, the balance between the audio collage and more tradition crust/sludge sections is perfect and leaves me satisfied every time I listen (which is a lot) kaiiil
this their most solid release to date, there other records are all insanely brilliant, you should buy them if you enjoy this for sure. keep kicking ass and putting some of the best sludge this decade. Ryan Graham
The stygian duo explore themes of gender dysphoria and oppressive institutions through sludgy doom with a pitch-black underbelly. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2021
A fantastic debut showing from Baltimore metal band Born of Plagues, uniting post-metal's expansive textures with sludge's almighty muck. Bandcamp New & Notable May 19, 2021
