Hold Fast EP

An absolute blast of an EP, filled to the brim with big dirty riffs and whisky-soaked hooks, that makes the wait for a new full length that much easier.
Favorite track: Hold Fast.

Give ‘em every edict free
‘cause it’s for their own fucking good
Dress yourself in finery
Torn from the cold and the shivering
Hold fast
Defiant
Hold fast
Undaunted
This tyrant’s faith stands firm
‘cause it’s still for your own fucking good
But this lying sun shines infertile
Just self-indulgent fucking narcissists
Stand tall before the storm
What we wear will never fade away
Hold fast as the rains fall down
We will never fade away
Hold fast, defiantly
I wear every scar, every adversity
Undaunted
Gather all your sycophants
And tell them it's for their own fucking good
Spit all your false sound bites
Let the rains try to wash it all away
Hold fast
Defiant
Hold fast
Undaunted
Stand tall before the storm
Stand tall before the storm

This Ocean Crooked

Hang up your guns
No need for them arms to medicate
Never found any calm to speak of
When last shots ring out, dull thud on wood
'cause I lost myself in staring
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
Helpless before a soundless mouth
As a figure rose up before me
And a voice rang clear
I've cut my wings
Into torrents of blood and feathers
Now won't you follow me?
This figure with the weeping wings
Outstretched its palms
Cuts bloomed from a monstrous idol
I took its hand
And there I found myself
At the bottom of an ocean crooked
In front of a soundless mouth
Staring deep into the gloom
And I woke up blind
Hands grasping for the shore
Surrounded by blood and feathers
And I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long
Hang up your guns
Oh drown your demons
I say hang up your guns
And drown your demons
God I woke up blind
Miles from the shore
Feathers fall to gore and ichor
Still I followed you
I paid the silver
I took your hand
But this silence that I sorely hungered
Never lingers long

Lotus Eaters

Behold the grey men, wicked welcomes painted thick
They lay you down to spread your colours out to see
Still smiling wide while they wear your toils as their own
Then when the bulbs are burnt they'll find another ride
Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue
Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace
Behind the mask there's really not much to be seen
Just hollow parasites and manufactured sympathy
They lead the blind, always hungering for more
Trading your pain for numbers, full of useless promises
Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue
Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace
Fuck the paladins
Fuck this crusade
Fuck your theatre
No one's a true believer
Fuck the paladins
Fuck this crusade
Fuck your theatre
No one's a true believer
Just cardinals
And lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace
Pose for the congregation
Raise both your hands
These teeth of pearly white
Hide a silver tongue
Repeat the script before you
Show us that righteous fury
Cardinals and lotus eaters
Fake tears and empty grace
Pose, smile, raise your hands
Show us your righteous fury
Pose, smile, raise your hands
Show us your righteous fury

about
Down In One Nottingham, UK
Back in 2014 four metalheads woke up with world-ending hangovers and a brand new band. We had a simple goal: Play loud,
party hard, decimate eardrums. In line with this we called ourselves the only thing that made sense: Down In One.
The line-up may have changed over the years but the game is still the same, we want to be a tidal wave of filthy riffs and unrelenting rhythm.
