It’s a little a violent
I hope that you like it
You wanted to hear my song for you
These words like swords they shine for you
They say the truth can sting a bit
I built a life to exploit it
I see the seed
I see the root
I see the wound
I’m coming to
If it hurts
I know it’s true
If i could
I’d feel for you
The willingness comes from the pain
Must i dive in again
must i dig down deep within
When i say stop: begin again:
I see the seed
I see the root
I see the wound
I’m coming to
If it hurts
I know it’s true
If i could
I’d feel for you
It’s a little a violent
I hope that you like it
You wanted to hear my song for you
These words like swords they shine for you
They say the truth can sting a bit
I built a life to exploit it
I see the seed
I see the root
I see the wound
I’m coming to
If it hurts
I know it’s true
If i could
I’d feel for you
The willingness comes from the pain
Must i dive in again
must i dig down deep within
When i say stop: begin again:
I see the seed
I see the root
I see the wound
I’m coming to
If it hurts
I know it’s true
If i could
I’d feel for you
about
Initially titled ‘REDREDREDRED’ because of the levels of distortion in the original one-take instrumental, The Seed is the second single from Maelstrom and Louisahhh’s forthcoming debut LP, Sustained Resistance.
An origin story dealing with not only creation, but also destruction: a legacy of trauma and survival, The Seed wraps complex themes in pumping, dynamic noise and double-time clacking reminiscent of teeth, fingernails or insects. The gated roars tailing each vocal meet the intensity of the message with harsh grace and gritty joy. ‘When I say stop, begin again!’ the song commands dance floors that no doubt eagerly await this hectic sonic storm from two of the scene’s most delighted upsetters.
Additionally, Slave to Society (ex AnD) has contributed a demonic digital hardcore remix of 'The Seed' that we are delighted to release alongside the single. Exploring the extremities of the hardcore sound, tempo unrelated this is about the amalgamation of industrial and experimental noise music mixed with electronic rhythms from techno to jungle. The sounds and the disruptive ideology of Slave to Society make this a perfect fit for RAAR, and especially for 'The Seed'.

I've always enjoyed Boy Harsher but I don't think they ever really clicked in my brain until I watched The Runner. Now I can't get enough. Gordon Skramzy (Nathan)
Fans of Fire-Toolz, take note! The brutal new LP from STCLVR occupies the same sonic territory, with harsh electronics & pummeling beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2020
Brooklyn techno-punk duo Deli Girls return, ever heavier and noisier, with an intensely emotional album that hits at contemporary anxieties. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 25, 2020
I did a remix on this EP BUT I also really love daddybear. Check them out. A refreshing take on body music that these clubs desperately need. You won’t be disappointed.
daddybear is dirty, danceable, mixable (aka VERY DJ FRIENDLY), and just plain GOOD. embracethevoid_
