Load the gun – you only get one chance at surprise Make em run – make the piggy run for his life Don't need help – I can kill myself Consciousness, I've got this – Morality is bad for your health Billionaire – yes he speaks but what does he say? Hospital air – klebsiella spreading decay Feed the spin – shit eating grin Everybody looking at me is dead when I begin I spread lies – murder someone tonight

New York bands, they ain't your friends They just want your cocaine Chew the fat and choke to death On the piece of meat that you became New York fans set the trends Well who asked them what to say From New York to Pitchfork One, Two, Three, Four: Fame No New York Bands No More New York Trends
3.
I always took you for a man of choice prescriptions You want to buy them, I go to get them We'll go for a ride, with friends of mine Become the animal beat within an inch of its life Just one thing, you'll still owe me Come around the coroner, slip faster than you die You'll want a little lesson like you did last time We go for rides, with friends of mine Become the animal beat within an inch of its life Can't squeeze the blood from a stoner But I still try every time Good enough, right?

Born without the umbilical cord You belong to that kind From the womb, untimely hued Son of man, are you of mine? No See you later, alligator Channel the master mind No more faker, doppelganger No more false child of mine. No What can be saved, nothing What can be done Die in silence, fade to darkness Caution, err on the side From the womb, untimely hued Son of man, are you of mine? No
5.
I shed skin, I hallucinate, split man from mind I make to make, make no mistake -- alive, I live a life But when I want more, more is more Snake among vines You breathe in, dig your own grave – you judgment pass You drink up the wine, taste of the lie – you judgment pass But when you want more, is more more? Snake in the vines No one left to deny Snake in the vines No one left Make no mistake, I break to break I lie I cheat I mob So when I want more, more is more
6.
Captives of war, buried from the light Desolate imprisonment, the misery of the life No escape or freedom, or hope of peace again Merciless beatings, executions, endless suffering There are no innocent in the throes of war Only insanity, insanity and nothing more Sustained by hatred, battle lingers on Another cemetery expanding one by one Logical fallacy, cultural enemy Merciless beatings, execution, endless suffering There are no innocent in the throes of war Only humility There are no innocent in the throes of war Only insanity, insanity and nothing more
7.
In the flesh belly of the beast Make another wish Juggernaut cast the men beneath Sacrificial stitch See the blind, hear the silent deaf Feel unconscious mind You watch the heads, then you wash the hands Then you let the mind... Beneath the wheel cast another stone Cleanse the sacrifice Feed the gods, grow the tree of thrones Praise the men of lies See the blind, hear the silent deaf Feel unconscious mind You watch the heads, then you wash the hands Then you let the mind... Only faith of mine reveal message divined Only faith of mine – blood dead blind Only faith of mine Always on my mind the god who worships me

about

Oozing Wound is Zack Weil (guitar, vocals), Kevin Cribbin (bass), and Kyle Reynolds (drums), young men that have established themselves in the volatile Chicago underground in a short time, playing in Cacaw, Unmanned Ship, ZATH, Bad Drugs, and countless other groups that have populated packed, sweaty basements and lofts throughout the city. Simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, their debut album, Retrash, is made for people who have no faith in melody and happiness, and no resistance to heavy riffage. This is music by and for people with a desire to slay.

The band channels their inner 15 year old, offering little distinction between comedy and antagonism. As Weil puts it, Oozing Wound is defined by, “loud fucking guitars and screaming and shit. We don’t sing, and we don’t write big choruses. Anything like that gets checked by the wayside because, fuck it, it’s not us.”

The songs on Retrash use humor to defend against and explore the anger, paranoia, and destruction that characterize life in the modern era. The line between hysterical and histrionic is tread with little regard for anything at all. “See you later, alligator” Weil howls in “Welcome to the Spaceship, Motherfucker,” as he channels a fever dream of the Biblical Joseph after discovering Mary’s pregnancy. “No more faker, doppelganger/No more false child of mine.” At the core of every song is a riff, or collection of riffs: from the ur-thrash of the gut-punching opener “Everyone I Hate Should Be Killed” to the sludgy noise of “New York Bands,” Retrash is a blast of pure energy put forth with simplicity and fury.

Retrash was recorded at Electrical Audio and Studio Chicago in two 12-hour sessions by their friend Matt Russell, and follows the Vape and Pillage cassette on Reynolds’ own Rotted Tooth Recordings. These recordings were not made for laptop speakers or ear buds, and are meant to be played as loud as possible.
