Split LP

by POINT BLANK / MEXOFF

supported by

activa44 thumbnail
activa44 It's hardcore punk in its purest form: written and played from the guts and as point blank as the name suggests.

Therefore, given the approach, there isn't any obvious influence to spot, even though it reminds me of Victims (SWE) in a few bits.

The riffs are really good and have a certain urgency to them that I really like. The sound also works perfectly for the songs, which have some clever lyrics that reflect the current issues of modern day society.

Nothing new, but neatly written!

History of Pain Blood on the streets Warring factions Constant attacks Desperate actions Land and religion An endless division Put down your flag Put down your weapons History A history of pain How many more lives must we waste? It is insane Another bomb Another child Another family Another atrocity A war of pride Thousands die Put down your flag Put down your rifle End the war End the bloodshed End the fight for territorial control Put down your gun Put down your flag
2.
We See You You parade through the streets And talk of ‘your nation’ But under your pride is hate and division And behind your eyes is fear and derision Your purpose is clear Only you belong here National pride You use to hide The hate inside We see you See through you Your flag and your violence go hand in hand Colonial system A history of bloodshed The systems of power rely on you not to question Be a good serf Have no opinion National Pride You use to hide The hate inside We see you See through you

Break the Chain Powers that be, steal our freedom Divide and rule, no cohesion Inch by inch We edge into the flame Battered down For daring to complain We can’t take this We must break the chain We don’t need more lies But who will hear our cries? It’s hard to see Through a smokescreen You have a voice You can use it Inch by inch They try to take control Day by day Our planet takes the toll We must fight this We must break the chain We don’t need more lies Who will hear our cries? Our land Our air Our sea Our tress One world One choice One life One death….

Progress Our progress Our freedom Our nature Our Wisdom Can all be forgotten Can all be forgotten Our beauty Our wonder Our feelings outnumbered Can all be forgotten Can all be forgotten Our learning keeps turning But always unravels A sort of erasure Nothing is permanent Irrational argument Progress a failure One step forward And 5 steps back
5.
Mind Pollution (The Cycle Maintains) You pay for your life, to work to your death The cycle maintains Locked in prison By our own hand The human condition Supply and demand The eternal treadmill We crawl to the end Normality imposed Stick in the herd Trying to breathe Desperate to break Break from it all Trying to find a new solution Trying to break Break down the walls Rejecting the plan Mind pollution
6.
Eyes Wide Open What will you do when it breaks down? Strapped to chair Forced to watch a horror show Reality, TV screen, mobile phone The human destruction The failure to listen The clock is ticking The watch is broken Everything turns to shit Trapped in hell with eyes wide open Trying to change Against the tide of human sheep Reality, technology, technocracy The lack of wisdom The failure to listen The churning mass The system is broken Everything turns to shit Trapped in hell with eyes wide open Swallow whole Our own control Twisted truth A fallacy What will you do when it fails?
7.
Feel the noose as it tightens tightens round your neck feel the squeeze as they bleed you,feel the bittersweet kiss of death They've got you where they want you hands held tight around your throat as you squirm and beg for scraps in ivory towers, the bastards gloat Powers that be are getting fatter the rest of us get left behind they've got us in a grip of steel crushing souls, destroying lives iron fist in the velvet glove the rules this land , so void of love

about

Point Blank is a Hardcore Punk Studio Project

All the tracks are written by A.Pisu, except "Break the Chain" (Pomo / A.Pisu) and 5 of these were originally performed with different lyrics and titles by my previous band "Il Disagio" about 15 years ago.
In 2021, after we failed to record these unreleased songs with the original band, I've added a newer song "Progress" to the list and asked John if he wanted to write lyrics and provide vocals on the tracks. John agreed and during Summer 2021, I recorded all of the instruments and John recorded vocals in our practise room.

I'd like to thank everyone that will support this project.
