    Originally released in 1994 by Photographer Murray Bowles and Filth Bassist Lenny Johnson’s collaborative East Bay Menace label, this split combined two of New Mexico’s fiercest hardcore bands on one split LP. East Bay transplants from Santa Fe, New Mexico GRIMPLE’s sound had become more harsh, caustic and acidic, retaining strong songwriting of their debut LP but shedding some of their pop sensibilities for quick metallic riffing. Their brother band, Santa Fe’s Logical Nonsense had also begun to leans heavier, creatively arranged songs which front harsh guttural vocals and brutal crushing riffs pointing to the sound of their raging follow up LP’s on Alternative Tentacles, and their influences of EXTREME NOISE TERROR, NAPALM DEATH and NEUROSIS.

    This album has not been repressed since it’s original pressing in 1994. It was been remixed by Noah Landis from Neurosis / Christ On Parade and re-mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service. The packaging is true to the original but has been painstakingly recreated with slight upgrades, including a new 11x22” insert with band photos and lyrics. Available in Silver and Black Vinyl.


    Mailorder copies come with a button and a small sticker.

I lay back. Feel the pain. Feel the hurt run down My spine. Fine no freedom here. Want to get out There’s nowhere to go. I can’t close my eyes When I do. I am scared. So I watch everything Around me go to hell. Lots of shit. You laugh Until you cry. Keep up with it. No! It fucken died! My silence. Moving forward. Smashing thru my wall. Life it dies and everyone watches but no on fucken morns. The blood inside. The life giving vain just ran fucken dry. Revival, it’s impossible. Forgot to say goodbye!
2.
Tu quieres mas dinero. De nosotros la gente, pero No nos quieres par respeto. Gritamos en las calles. Acabarlucha, mientas tu guentos, los minutos Empezar la Guerra! Si si gues con tu mierda en el Mundo. Pronto la genta rebelar! Joder te qual- Quiere, manera possible. Hager te tu vida un infierno Tomo como los quieres. Mi importa verga. Solo te Pigo. Nos sentimos. Es la voz de la gente Y nuestro opinion. Es los que siempre llamas la Libertad!!

I’m not sorry! So shut the fuck up (you cunt) When ever I’m around you I feel like I have to follow rules. And fuk rules. When ever I’m around you I feel like you think I’m a Fool. I feel like screaming shut up! Who the Fuk are you to tell me what to do. Fuk your Stupid rules I want nothing to do with politics! I’m just trying to be happy. Not trying to fuk you over. Why do you got to give a shit. No, I’m not sorry for what I said. Now you got To deal with that bitch! Talk your shit. But You’re never doing it. I’m not perfect. But I’m Willing to admit it. You make me sick. You Fucken piece of P.C. shit!
4.
My mind is all fucked up, my heart sux it up. My hands they can no longer hold. The Book of fear begins to unfold. Darkness Has made me blind. People have destroyed My mind. Drugs can only numb the pain Tomorrow it starts again. Everyday a darker shade Of grey. My angers getting stronger the Pressures thrusting harder.. To destroy My mind. The answers getting further the Blade is looking sweeter. To destroy Myself. Ripped and torn apart. Just so I Can see the blood fill my eyes. And life Cease to be..Society has fucked every- Body. Directly affecting me and you. The Mirrors of life are always be shattered I’ve Tried to pick up the pieces. I’ve just cut Myself. The walls of insecurity have fucken turned to tragedy and the rivers of blood engulf my broken body.
5.
Darkened doorways and nuclear weather. Soon To be feast in a web of war. Politician now Dominant butcher. Watching silent as he Hunts for kill. Progress? Destruction in Disguise. As far as we get is the wall. We Try to climb but we’re shot down only to Be locked up. Raped and shit upon and told We were free. Emotion put aside I hate society We ran far. Slaughter came fast. Now lie crucified At half mast.
6.
I’m tired of all the shit I fucken see. I see It everyday. It’s us. The punx. We’re pointed at In the street. And their fucken fight just to Be who we are. I’ll try to find a better way and Not to play their fucken games and not to be another fucken puppet. You fucken freaks. Get out of the neighborhood. We’re different because we want to fuk the system. You’d have to rip out my eyes. If you want me to ignore. All the violence I see. Just look outside my front door! Not just corporations, police. State politics but the fucken pig that sits on top. Crush the foundations, The rest will fall! They system has it’s weak spots we must find them. Us the punx believe it or not we’re strong. Together we can be the stiff link that keeps the system turning. They run your life well. Take a look at yourselves. They run your life well. The lies of freedom. This nations fucken crap. Look into a world of shit before it splatters in your face look into this world of shit the Amerikkkan nation of hate. We want the unjustified money hungry pigs together we ca be the stiff link that keeps the system turning!
7.
Just questions. Never any answers. All ambitions. And just frustrations. Is it just me? Or does Everything seem so fucken cold and grey. And Just so fucken depressing? Every time I turn Around someone’s getting fuked over. I guess It’s just a lame reminder to why I’m never Sober. It’s been going on forever as far As I can remember. I’m waiting for the day It will all be fucken over

9.
Living. Breathing. Fucking. Shitting. Law of life do As thy will. No orders no borders no fucking Commands my body my mind, my choice to conceal Too much time passes to fucking quick. Holding On just to let things go. Breaking things to fit Into place. And pick up the pieces no one would Know. Well it’s not just a passing generation Welcome to it’s a dying world. I will rejoice And do what I will. As I hope for no return! Crutches, no longer stable year after year. Words unspoken good friends die on an annual Bases. The wheel of family has been broken.
10.
The lust of the fallen flame To reap and kill again I didn’t see the rising sun It turned and ran away from me Sometimes you got to question Was it all pain… Pain of being. We cross the broken bridge And we struggle against the winds We’re running from the sun Arise nocturnal one! Blood runs (X4) Can you see these smiles Can you remember The struggle against the crying The trend plain to see Suffering for their crimes It was a gaze It was this concrete haze That makes the blood run cold Suffering for these wars Forced to kill, die for their will My soul has been sold Kill my kind young and old Forced to kill Die for their will Your soul has been sold Kill Your kind young and old… Fuck You! Can You remember The blades that cut so deep Forced to watch some crawl On their fuckin’ knees It was this daze It was this concrete haze That makes the blood run cold Suffering for their wars Kill the son And watch him fall Would you fuckin care at all?!
11.
RAZED Look Beyond Your Hopes Beyond your shattered city Beyond a thousand worthless smiles And a million fractured dreams No, it’s not to be there Not hard once you accept the fact And remember that extinction Is coming your way It’s WAR this time… You Can believe what’You want to believe That does;t mean that it’s true Won’t be driven blind your Fuckin’ religion Telling me what to do, And you can run to Jesus Christ When you need a savior It’s not hard to see Hiding from reality… And You can believe, And You can believe, Choke, Crawl, Kneel, Obey, Believe, Believe in the hidden falling, True to be, decide….Congratulations It’s to be, decide…congratulations It’s just a lie calling to your head It’s hope that Assimilation….Crucifixiation Look beyond your death, Beyond your failed promises Beyond all you seem to be, And all you’ve left behind, Can’t you see that’s your fear Why God has left you here
12.
Can You hear time, calling out your name Will you hear the promise of a new life Or will you turn from me again Of course you know what is, was Always shall be And when we reign We will not forget none of our pain Nor our dead loved ones misery What is was always shall be Have we become so depraved Witness this atrocity You mean nothing to no one You meant everything to me Was it just the falling Just more broken promises We’re running under a full moon Left to die And We couldn’t care less We couldn’t care less And now I just don’t know Which way to go or what to do And when we reign We will not forget none of our pain Nor our dead loved one’s misery What is always shall be
13.
Some people turn a blind eye While others stop and stare Some people refuse to believe In something that isn’t fair You know solid, touchy-feely Fucking reality… If everything could be explained… We would know everything. This tragic human story Goes on day by day We fail to foresee The consequences that give us pain eh. We sit so bloody arrogant thinking We understand the question of This unquenchable fire, Our Conscience movement Predicted by Sub-conscience Sub-conscience, Sub-conscience desire
14.
You Fucking Pig ! I'll ignore his screaming, rip him into paradise Cut this pig into fucking bits slice by slice by slice I've got new vision, devised new means This fuckin' pig doesn't matter to me Rip up this mother fuckin' swine Rip it's identity Just kill that fuckin' swine! We'll ignore his screaming anguishing from his restraints Wrenching teeth spasms have reached bloody violent extremes and we'll all gut this fucking pig chop off his head and balls We'll all smile watching this fucking pig Watching him die on the floor Heart rate quickens, pulse quickens and blood flows And my anger grows and fuckin grows and grows I'll ignore the screaming rip him into paradise We'll cut this pig up into bits slice by slice by slice I've got new visions, got new means to make dreams reality Oh how I like to watch this fuckin pig screaming
15.
Mental insurbordination Overthrow of belief Concrete expectations Drown fast in this chaotic sea Limits, suddenly forgotten A million Screams the constant hum Mankind's hysteria evident His future fades into oblivion.. The stares continue.. Mouths wide, gaping Flux of, flux of , flux of paranoia The screams continue Man grows numb… To the bitter reality Caused by his own, His bloody fucking actions Chaos swarms Children smother The rape of the mother Fucked by the father Chaos swarms, children smother Head swells with anxiety Breach the walls, crush the pleas Fucked the….fuck the enemy Ignore, ignore the waves, Waves of disbelief His future clear as fog, Mankind a rancid piece of meat, Extinction a starving, starving dog
