12stringgeek With their latest EP, the Freqs create a heavy psychedelic fever dream of doomy sludge punk. The record builds in intensity to reach a staggering apex on the intricately reimagined "Witch." Favorite track: Witch.

No conviction for the curious, clean fingers are not murderous, only killing for the experience Shot a creature in self defense, only killing what it represents, there's no freedom in this forsaken land Don't you ever miss? Last march of the elephant, took away it's last defense, stories told of our heroics Scorched the earth for our betterment, poachers burning to be young again, you're only guilty till you're innocent Don't you ever miss? Tell me how the poacher, get's the tusk from us He never resisted arrest

Set aflame this whole damn nation, protect the ashes from invasion, bottom feeders they keep on walking, these boots were made for stomping on I'll wipe that smirk right off your face, maybe then you'd learn your place, lock away the weak and broken, excuse me sir the man has spoken I'm gonna break the mold I'll bring the kids you bring the matches, set aflame our love of fascists, annihilate our love of violence, thoughts and prayers are met with silence victimize the powerless, personify their cowardice, exhuming all the flowerless, burn the bodies to keep them silent I'm gonna break the mold It's hysteria, hysteria Hey hey hey, they're coming for you They'll be walking up the streets, yeah they're coming for you

Broken promises run down these empty streets, black rivers are gathering underneath The choke of gasoline is swimming in the rain, I"d give anything, let you drift away Been trying to reach you The fifth of this city is gathering far below, this pregnancy is telling you to go Been trying to reach you I'm giving you up, and going on alone But I feel so alone You'll know when you're alone We let it all run down to the river, and pray it never comes back It'll never come back from the river, no you'll never come back you'll never come back Been trying to reach you

Sludge Rats 05:30
Hide the children till the sun has gone, then partake in searching through the sludge, you won't have to wait it won't be long We've only seen the light from far away, asleep beneath the sludge of industry, when it's dark we'll take all that they leave, from far below we'll take just what we need I'm a filthy rat with nothing left, let's kill the devil, now my blood is filled with arsenic and heavy metal Bite the hand that feeds with carelessness, with tooth and claw we'll take their offering, we cannot take what was not theirs to give, we'll brave the sun and kill ourselves to live I'm a filthy rat with nothing left, let's kill the devil, now my blood is filled with arsenic and heavy metal Oh, what I'd give to feel loved
5.
If I close my eyes, would you disappear, like tears in rain subside, I've lost you once again Come find me again, I'll find you again And if I took my time, I'd waste it all on you, this broken-hearted man, is drunk at the bottom of you Come find me again, I'll find you again Too long, too long, too long, too long, to finally meet you I'll wait, yes I'll wait And if you close your eyes, would I disappear, like a shadow in the smoke, was I even here Come find me again, I'll find you again Too long, too long, too long, too long, to finally meet you

Witch 04:59
Burn witch, bleed for me sweet Your eyes betray you, company defies you, deny my request and we'll burn and defile you Nothing to fear, not mine to hold, flames did lick and snap at your soul Burn witch, bleed for me sweet How dare you deny, what is rightfully mine, oh my fair maid what a mistake you have made You'll pay a dear cost, strapped here to this cross, now burn witch burn, take with you your faust Burn witch, bleed for me sweet
