Kenny McGalem 2X4, the definition of a groovy, face-punching, hard-slamming, hardcore chugfest! MCMLII is a scorching inferno forged by the crushing amalgam of aggressive metal and beatdown deathcore. "Volition" opens with prominently punchy, almost bouncy instrumentation, while "Destroy (a Mother's Beauty)" features oscillating rapid-fire drum patterns and "Adversary" brutalizes with intense fretwork. 2X4 are an unquenchable vacuum feasting on negativity, creating murderously heavy misanthropic anthems. Favorite track: Volition.

Erik Thorkildsen Best heavy mix of 2015 IMO. Drums and Bass tones are so punchy.

The only gripe I have with this record is that it's over so fast. I don't mind having it on repeat, though. Really happy I found these guys. Favorite track: Volition.

Volition 03:56
My whole life I would watch as you burn That last drag, a storm fills your lungs Rotting your core As the ashes fall off your tounge Too tough to feel the heat This genocide stick you feed Corrupting the minds Of our Brothers Our Mothers and our Fathers It's times like these That keep us alive Building us up While our world dies It's days like these We need to survive Building up the world With our own cries Breathing in the bullet Bleeding out the agony Letting go is cold When you're rotting away Release these shackles Binding your lips to the thought That you can't live without Your life never felt so selfless It's times like these That keep us alive Building us up While our world dies It's days like these We need to survive Building up the world With our own cries Keep us alive While our world dies We can't blame you We can see you We know your intentions We can see through the tension We can see you fighting We can see you trying We all die Maybe from our own volition

Rot 02:59
I need my soul To part from my body I want my teeth to disintegrate Let my skin wither away My heart must be ripped from my chest Through all the ribs and bones And split into the nothing it is Pour my guts out for all to see This body is now obselete Crack my skull Pick apart my brain That's the only way I'll feel again Maybe I'll be with him There is no more pain No sickeness can reach this high No heartbreak No mind will go to The darkest corners to sit and rot In death there is happiness Push my thoughts To the back of my mind Only to feel rest again Searching for something But always hiding Drowning my pain In a pool of grief Lay to rest this boyancy and sink Be submerged In the thought of complacency Life is about the moments Bathe in it There's no second chance I'm already half way down the road And there's no turns I still can't see the end

Living behind a pew I went searching for sin When it's right in the room My vision was foggy Never seeing The people that needed me How could I not see I lay a waste for mother Who is too strong to scream And I am too strong to believe I fix my eyes Toward this window to my soul I was so cold I lived a shameful life Spreading hate with judgement I never lived until it was over But then it was too late It's never enough for me My cup filled with tears From my mothers pain That's not what I wanted to believe She's beautiful and free I drink this cup on Sunday Searching for peace Without understanding Searching for religion As a form of release God's hands were clean I stuck the needle in my eye We live in a world of hate A broken bone for every home It's not enough we want more Let's take this crown Put it on and make it our own Trying to forget the things I've seen And destroying the hope of beauty The love for my mother Was everything I couldn't be

Adversary 02:38
You're keeping secrets How convenient Well my hearts gone numb There's no starting this up again Looking outside has never brought Such a heavy burden It weighs me down like the black soul That's rotten inside of me This dead weight's suffocating me This burning hate inside my brain Has never Been let out It's fierce and dark With nothing to control it The devil sings To me while I lay silent Hoping for this hell to end at any moment It's like time is moving in slow motion It's fierce and dark But I'm learning to control it The devil sings But I refuse to hear it Knowing that this hell will end at any moment Frame by frame I have my eyes wide open My grave and all it's entirety Is everything I'll ever be A walking theif I wouldn't trust me I'm everything you shouldn't be I blame myself I was selfish and lost After everything you given me I was still too busy Blinding myself to the reality Living in the fantasy I couldn't stand to see you like that I'd hide it in the back of my mind Hoping I wouldn't find it I never buried it deep enough It would always surface It chews up my heart And spits it out Like it wasn't worth the flavor I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Like you were there for me I'm sorry I didn't care for you Like you would've cared for me

I was there that night Waiting for the dark cloud to come Trying to ignore the doubt He was resting After begging for more relief In a coma of symphonies I'd like to think He went to meet God To make sure we were taken care of This can't keep me From being the man you were to me Never feeling anthing short of a miracle In this dark pit of the world Passing on your legacy Now I'm stripped bare Sick of my skin And I'm done with my head This cancer eats at him As it sneeks Through the halls of our home A Father's pain is priced too high Those months would never be enough His side of the bed is still indented From the love That's bearing a hole to the floor I can feel him amongst these rooms Of grief and disbelief Making his way To the hearts of his family Some were born to be fathers You outshined it This can't keep me From being the man you were to me Never feeling anthing short of a miracle In this dark pit of the world Passing on your legacy Rest your eyes You deserve it We're never going to end this fight But it's time And I don't know if I'm ready How could I be There's nothing about this that is easy Those seven pounds are still beating Paralyze the hands on that clock Before that last gasp is shot Out of his lungs But how selfish can I be Live in suffering Or die in peace Let that breath be filled with love Hold it in, hold it in
