    Emotive hardcore bands Overo (USA) and Asthenia (JPN) pair up to deliver four visceral, cathartic songs. Originally planned in conjunction with an Overo/Asthenia Japan tour set for November 2020, the split 7” showcases both bands’ ability to balance vulnerability and aggression, light and dark, whispers and gut-wrenching screams. As the pandemic raged across the world, eight record labels across six countries stepped up to support the release despite the cancellation of bands’ tour in support of it. The end result is a response to COVID-19 that’s sonic and substantial rather than literal.

lyrics

I couldn’t remember if
it was snowfall or ashes
that fell in the darkness
because that winter so many fires
gorged on my old town--
each one, gathering a crowd.
I’d never before been afraid of flames
or had my lungs choked by smoke
or heard third degree screams.

All I can see are the flames.
Where am I from?
I’m afraid. I’m afraid.
I can’t breathe, but I scream, and I scream.

I didn’t stay long, but now
I’m still haunted by heat.

‘Cause I can’t help but think
what has this done to me?
The embers from the trees
fall around my feet.
And when they hear me scream
they fall to their knees.
‘Cause I can’t help but think
what has this done to me?
