1.	Relief Theory 01:07	lyrics
Behold This mountain of garbage It will reach The sky Those who chose Suffocation over innovation Repeatedly Relief Theory Incessantly Relief theory It will reach The sky
2.	Shuddered 01:02	lyrics
Shuddered an insincere amen Shuddered with perverse laughter A feast into a forum The forum into a feast Shuddered with envy Shuddered in the sunlight No act too degrading for the pack Year after year after year after year The blood will continue to be shed
3.	The Absence 02:03	lyrics
Answer charges Of blasphemy Testing patience Made to suffer See beyond this carnage Paranoid Squalid Revel in the absence of christ Dismiss the resurrection as a lie Untiring to the point of obsession Unconvinced to the point of neglect In me are souls embalmed All lips that breathe are mine Shine The gleam of the knife Violent life Violent death Odious and occluded Reluctant oblation
4.	Truncate 00:52	lyrics
Years of failed experiments Ripe Ready to harvest Entrusted to the tomb Something like night descended Subdivision of the light Dope forever Forever loaded Truncate
5.	Fraught 01:53	lyrics
Frightened into lockstep solidarity Triggering the final desertion The melody of revolution Fixed to deep foundations Fraught with violence Waste not life In the grave Will be sleeping enough Split up Spread out Reject Repel Rejoice Faith was unnecessary Faith is unnecessary Unnecessary Unnecessary
6.	Marked By Nails 00:57	lyrics
No love No grief Uncaring for life Mimicry of agreeable behavior Years were marked by nails Hammered into walls Ran amok and trampled In the mausoleum I fought back in despair I pushed the wall aside Shed
7.	The Sixth Mass Extinction 01:20	lyrics
Bubbling to the surface Coming unhinged The sixth mass extinction I will not accept These poisonous whispers Resist eviction Rejected defensively I’m Fading A tragic waste Survived the war Only to be killed at home I’ll be brave When it’s time to return Faded Finished
8.	Most Likely To Succeed 01:14	info

about

Anthems of the Underground bio:

It’s easy to forget the role that geography plays in a band’s sound.

Would Napalm Death or Heresy have felt as sincere or relevant if the political climate in England had been more peaceful in the mid to late 80s? Would No Comment, Excruciating Terror, or Dystopia have sounded like they did – or had the same view of the world if it weren’t for the gentrification, displacement, and police violence circling the greater Los Angeles area at the time? In a world where so many bands exist on social media and YouTube more than they do in practice spots or basements, we tend to lose focus on the regional aspects of a band’s sound or attitude.

Degenerate Synapse is Chicago, through and through.

Born in the unflinching cold of the Midwest, and living in the parasitic capitalism that that every working stiff has to endure while managing rising rent, frozen wages, and useless politicians while pundits and talking heads use their home as a ham-fisted example of crime rates or peak neo-liberalism to suit their own narratives and needs. This is a band of veteran misanthropes who have grown more bitter with every passing year; but never too jaded to pack into a storage unit with their likeminded friends to churn out nihilistic and brutal grindcore that pays homage to early '00s Willowtip and Relapse Records, with a heavy dose of 90’s death metal, West Coast powerviolence, and the undeniable imprint of their Chicago hardcore lineage (specifically HeWhoCorrupts and Charles Bronson – whose recent “Youth Attack” box set features extensive writing from Degenerate Synapse vocalist and DIY archivist Dave Hofer.)

No gore. No beatdown. No cosplay. This is Chicago grindcore – cold, brutal, and fast as fuck. You get it, or it was never meant for you.

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic

Our jaded ears needed this. AOTY contender. Authentic underground filth of the highest calibre. An evolved sound from their incredible previous outings. Truly mind-bendingly, gut-wrenchingly brilliant. yojohnny

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
