I’m striving for something that is not even worth fighting for. When I look at you everything I am means nothing anymore. What I want is out of reach for the living. What I want is unappreciated by the dead. Perfection will be my defeat. What must a person do to become immortal? What must a person do to not be forgotten? I’m striving for something that is not even worth fighting for. When I look at you everything I am means nothing anymore. What I want is out of reach for the living. What I want is unappreciated by the dead. Perfection will be my defeat. I wish I could resist this strife. A fight I can never win. A fear I just can’t lose. It’s my true enemy. Perfection will be my defeat.

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
