Metallurgical Fire
Not my usual in terms of genre these days, but this EP is very strong. Try not to be moved by Your Quiet. Very powerful.
Favorite track: Your Quiet.
David Fischer
Absolutely in love with how well-rounded this EP turned out. The melodies of For You are melancholic and utterly beautiful. There is this omnipresent core-influence which is released via the superb breakdown right in the middle of the EP before the energy volatilizes and you're being dreamt away by Within. Your Quiet takes you right back, slapping you in the face massively with an enormously satisfying August Burns Red vibe. One of the finest records I've heard 2020 so far.

United on my own front - how will the pages turn?
Stepping off the edge into a warm abyss I feel the timeline fade
Through blood and irrelevant ashes
Gone.
Yet still we wonder
This is not for you
This was never for them
This life will never be for anyone but me
But please know that I meant it when you stood beside me
We stand only so long as the breath of the universe deems fair
In slumber from the womb to the grave I feel the timeline fade
This is not for you
This was never for them
This life will never be for anyone but me
But some days I am scared that I’ll never venerate the fear inside me
Not for them, not for you, not for anyone but...
This is not for you
This was never for them
This life will never be for anyone but me
But please know that I meant it when you stood beside me
You're gonna fucking die
Wasted, wretched, wronged
Fucked, grotesque and defiled
I will never die
A split second from existence clandestine
And your fucking death
One day there will be no more ‘now or never’
It's all so easy when you think you're gonna live forever
You think you're going to live for-fucking-ever?
One slip of the mind and you're gone
Biological malfunction
Every second is one less that you have
What less do you have?
The unfathomable depths of our choices
Conversing with corrupted flesh entwined within our design
Flickering switches cursed and cured with stitches
Cathode rays cutting cold lives unbroken to the core
Fuck
One slip of the mind and you're gone
Biological malfunction
Every second is one less that you have
What less do you have?
Destruction reigns at our core and I want more
In death I will be taking more
Unmalleable
Vindicated
We're all going to fucking die
But not today - no, not today
No
If the program sets itself apart
If the deviation extends beyond the mark
It surely is within itself overextended
I do not believe that this is what you had intended
Oh the irony in becoming a broken machine
That aches to be fixed through organic means
Oh the idiocy in reaching so hard to agree
In a truth that lies not within your lies
Searching for the love of a father behind every soul you devour
Falling for the instincts of a mother, locked in a surrogate state of affection
Infected by a forlorn waste of heart
The blackened bulbs of a transcribed failure blossom into self-destruction
Regurgitate my indiscretions
Linked from under the sheets to beyond the stars neither you or I will ever find peace
We will find no fucking peace
Within, without
Resentfully fasting and burned out by liberation’s passing
Internally building a wall while on the outside I celebrate your fall
There’s only so many times it could be so simple as to release, revolve, and renew
Flooded in the taste of victory, broken through and soaked in the smell of war
Within, without
This is a final punctuation on the end of a stagnation
This is a final boarding call
One ticket to the single greatest flight of all
Who what when where and why
Breathe hold feel know and die
The resonation of our heartbeats
So impossibly small - impossible to fathom
Yet fulfillment feels so simple
Rekindling in the calm of the eye
Who what when where and why
Breathe hold feel know and die
The resonation of our heartbeats
So impossibly small - impossible to fathom
Yet fulfillment feels so simple
Rekindling in the calm of the eye
And in the end everyone is getting high
Searching for a moment where “nothing” means nothing and/or everything means something
And in the end everyone’s getting high
Who what when where and why
Triumph and glory within chaos and/or calm - the volume remains at a steady drip
While meaning broadens its scope and actuality tightens its ever present grip
Soon the noise will be gone so thank the maker for the trip
Left in the end with nothing but your quiet
Now within the warmth - soon cold forevermore
Bathed in celestial silence
about
“Watt's most personal and revealing work; you just have to tune into it. If he believes, then we believe." - Hysteria Mag
“Teeming with raw power and rage.” - Mixdown
“R U N has landed with a ground-shaking thud.” - Depth Mag
"An absolute gift for Aussie metalheads." - Tone Deaf
Australia's freshest heavy act R U N have surprised us with their extraordinary debut release, For You Will Never Find Peace Within Your Quiet, arriving in full today. Now streaming not only via audio, but also a fully-animated visual format, a physical product is also available for pre-order. The project’s future-oriented nature means that this product does not need to contain any vinyl or CDs. In order to streamline the process for all, and lessen the impact on the environment, it will be printed to the appropriate demand.
A duo composed of vocalist Lochlan Watt (host of triple j’s The Racket) and guitarist Mike Deslandes (YLVA/High Tension), R U N debuted their first single on 4/20 last month, to what can be safely described as a huge response. Then, they slyly unveiled one song at a time over the course of the past week, hinting of what was to come. The sequence of release saw each track title build upon the previous one to slowly reveal the name of the record and complete the journey. You can now watch the fascinating, moving artwork of the record from start to finish right here - thanks to the efforts of Patrick Galvin at Hollow Bones Studio.
A unique blend of extreme metal fury, hardcore accessibility and the heady contemplation of post-rock, the music ruminates on themes of suicide, heartache, fear, mental health, struggles with queerness and identity and, on top of it all, coming to terms with the life-threatening illness that is cancer. For You Will Never Find Peace Within Your Quiet was produced and engineered by Mike Deslandes, mixed and mastered by Will Putney (Northlane/The Amity Affliction), with session drums provided by Joel Taylor (The Abandonment/Galaxy). Artwork and animations are by Patrick Galvin (Architects/AB Original). A physical version is available now for pre-order, but just not how you’ve come to expect it...
STATEMENT FROM LOCHLAN WATT:
With where R U N has landed, we feel as though we have been handed a once in a lifetime opportunity to try out new things above the unstable ground we all find ourselves now navigating. I cherish my old CD collection, and I love supporting my friends and bands I like by buying their records, but I also almost never listen to any music this way anymore. My means of consuming music on a day to day basis are purely digital, and being an independent, self-financed band that so far only exists on the internet, we don’t have to cling to dated technology or tradition for the sake of what is now a quite visibly broken system of capitalism. I’ve seen far too many CDs and LPs end up in bins during my time in the music industry - and I know the production of them is not exactly good for the planet. We want this music to leave behind a massive impact on your mind, not the environment.
As such the physical product for 'For You Will Never Find Peace Within Your Quiet’ will slot perfectly into your existing 12” collection, yet you won’t be able to listen to it. You will, however, be able to open the folding cover to pore over Patrick Galvin’s incredible artwork, with high quality full sized prints of all five songs and their lyrics on the inside, while you listen to the record via your preferred digital service. It being a purely cardboard creation gives us a lot of flexibility, and the size of this first ‘pressing’ will be determined by the demand. We’re also cutting Patrick in on the financial side of things here, because we think he deserves it. So, the more of these we sell, the more money all three key artists involved will make.
In these times especially, is consuming more plastic products really essential, or do we just want to be able to hold onto something special, and support the music that connects with us? This is an experiment and we welcome you to take part in it.
R U N is a new Australian project built on several collective decades spent toiling through success and failure within the Australian heavy music underground.
Lochlan Watt is one of the most recognisable names in Australian heavy music. As the long running host of triple j’s metal program The Racket, Watt was the frontman of his own heavy bands Nuclear Summer and Colossvs, before stepping up as the live vocalist for Australian extreme elites Thy Art Is Murder and Psycroptic.
Watt’s new project R U N came to existence out of necessity. After a year of repeatedly intense personal upheavals, Watt formed R U N as a vessel for catharsis. He found solace in long-time collaborator Mike Deslandes when they were both surrounded by death, anguish and suicide. For them, R U N was more than just a band - it was a vital lifeline set to become so much more than that. Following a seizure and subsequent discovery of brain cancer, an even more urgent sense of desperation was distilled into the recording as the literal grappling of life-and-death enforced a deadline before the scalpel blade came down.

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
