about

“Rot”, the first single from Taxidermy’s upcoming EP, is an unsettling, labyrinthine noise rock/post-punk track crafting a musical geometry of angular artistry with sharp, incricate and dissonant guitars, tension-filled complex basslines, taut and forceful minimalist drums and idiosyncratic, nervous vocals. Singer Osvald Reinhold describes the voice of “Rot” as ‘marked by an unrest, a journey through doubt’ - reinforced by his emotionally fractured vocals conveying a sense of tactile tension and unease - and as ultimately exploring a narrative of ‘truths that instigate human tragedies’. With an intense and driving energy, shifting between expressive atonal abrasiveness and minimalist precision, “Rot” is a sprawling, slowly evolving and truly dynamic piece heavy on atmosphere. With raw energy, avant-garde curiosity and intricate technique, “Rot” leaves us excited to hear more!

lyrics

You started this without
Any doubt
My chin’s sore
And red are your knuckles
When stars aligned
And our egos entangled
We were safe
But now we turn a page
A monster your reasons make of me

Everything I hear
Is everything I see
To keep stories straight
Was a beautiful drying well
We’ve moved so far, forgot from where
Now we’re here
We keep returning to a cold
It seems it’s all we know
Now that we
Are gonna break peace

Time comes when we are not a pack
Tolerance will run out
Slowly we’re rotting with time
Time comes
Violence is in us

Behind my stretched arm and index
Sleeps catastrophe
The profession of blame,
An alibi of shame
