Once mighty forests fall. The last old trees cut down.
Countless creatures become homeless.
Plants uprooted. Vanishing beauty.
A balanced system. Forcefully disrupted.
Our brothers and sisters cry out for help, but we will never – ever listen.
Our Mother is being killed but you're too blind to see the blood on your hands.
A swath of destruction is left when the machines depart.
The shelter was turned into a slaughterhouse.
Paradise became lifeless hell. Rainforest was turned into barren land.
The bodies of a thousand mighty trees lie scattered across the ravished soil.
Who gave you the right to destroy within a few weeks, what grew for thousands of years?
Who gave you the fucking right!
Who told you that you are superior to all the other living beings within the multitude of species?
Who?
On this earth, a shadow falls across the ravaged land:
The all-consuming megamachine created by human hand.
This artificial creature will cast its shadow over you.
When the forests fall, humanity falls too.
This all-consuming construct will cast its shadow over you.
When the forests fall, humanity falls too.
Who gave you the right to destroy within a few weeks, what grew for thousands of years?
Who told you that you are superior to all the other living beings in this dying world?

If you ever liked nineties hardcore, or the seemingly endless amount of bands that jock that style without paying homage or respect to the forerunners, you need this album in your life.
Morning Again does it right. Heavy breakdowns, thrash laden hooks and layered dissonant guitars that make us old guys want to flip over our office desks and “open this pit up” right on James from Accounting’s face.
Skip coffee and get this instead. This is the soundtrack to you taking your life back. Fuck... this is good.
Also... one of the MOST underrated bands from the nineties. Glad these guys are back!!! C. Andon Guenther
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
