The new release from DARKO evokes the type of thrash metal crossover familiar to fans of skate punk bands like Rise Against, Propagandhi, or A Wilhelm Scream, and marks the nihilistic final chapter of a trilogy of releases from the veteran South East England quintet.

https://darko.lnk.to/greyscale "We need Herculean political courage to limit the devastation of climate change" said West, who joined as vocalist and lyricist during the pandemic. "Terrifyingly, a spineless cabal of vulture capitalists have been elected as our saviours. It's our duty to signal-boost principled activists, not to condescend or despise them for holding a mirror up to us." The fourth single from EP "Greyscale" (Lockjaw/Thousand Islands Records) is Darko's most genre-defying to date, splicing groovy 'Lamb of God' breakdowns with their signature pulsating melodic hardcore beats.

LYRICS -

Her smug aura mocks me Let the markets do their thing I despise being patronised Thinks she knows everything But I've listened my whole life Ignoring the damage done ‘cause they won’t be the banished ones Try to fight but our hands are tied So we live tweet our own demise Scorched the earth but nevermind At least shareholders thrived You’re failing us We won’t forgive you [“People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” - Greta Thunberg] A death cult of eternal growth They have their faith - all we have is hope Still we strive to fight but our hands are tied As the water levels rise As if there’s time for compromise Corporations’ fossil fuels foul the air, the land, the seas Cease relentless consequenceless greed They know the damage done But know they’re not the punished ones Still not mature enough to tell it like it is We won’t let them get away with this Sacrificed the earth to politicians with a price With an ‘X’ it’s co-signed - auxiliary genocide So no, we won’t give them an easy ride If capital is a finite resource they horde We’re left no other option - we must resort to force A death cult of eternal growth Fatal in faith They have their faith - all we have is hope We strive to fight but our hands are tied As the water levels rise As if there’s time for fucking compromise Auxiliary genocide Shameless out in broad daylight A death cult of eternal growth Fatal in faith They have their faith - all we have is hope #lockjawrecords #lockjawcrew #darko #darkoband #gresycale #punkrock #melodichardcore #thrash
