Rot As we all fall down Shook into a shiver In a skin that sings to bone Flail in the body of the sister of the son Rot As we all fall down Shook into a shiver In a skin that sings to bone Flail in a body of the sister of the son Men like them will shine like rats in oily water Men like them will bathe in all our shame Men like them will play amongst the fray of rotted rope Men like them will bathe in all our shame Rot Till we all fall down to the riverbank Till we all fall down Rot As we all fall down Men like them will shine like rats in oily water Men like them will bathe in all our shame Men like them will play amongst the fray of rotted rope Men like them will bathe in all our shame Rot As we all fall down Rot As we all fall out

We all howl for glory, Teeth that we file to fit Songs that sell you blues And we all howl for glory Men that got the suit for work and death People fucking for power Then they took the honey before the flower Face down in a bed of piss Built to make you get better Face down in a bed of piss Flood of brick mortar rule the rest

about

Art As Catharsis is proud to announce the release of Tired Minds' new EP The Body is a Burden - a sludge-soaked serve of metallic post-hardcore.

With gritty instrumentals, impassioned lyricism and tense compositions, The Body Is A Burden reveals the band’s appreciation of acts such as Converge, Touché Amore, La Dispute and Cult Leader. In many ways, the EP feels like a love letter to some of the best melodic heavy acts of the past two decades, though delivered with an urgency and intensity that reveals the Newcastle post-hardcore act at the top of their game.

“We started recording this back in 2019 and have been chipping away at it since then with a lot of life events happening during this time including friends and family passing away,” says guitarist Paul Graham. “We really wanted to focus on bringing just a heavier, more crushing vibe to what we have done in the past, in general simplifying down some of the riffs but really laying down lots of guitar tracks to push the sound in the direction we wanted.”

The Body Is A Burden shows that time has not slowed Newcastle’s Tired Minds. The sheer power of their new record cements their place in the Australian hardcore scene, and makes this an essential listen for heavy music lovers the world over.
