Total Massacre Return With New Single & Video ‘Pick Yer Poison’

LA hardcore outfit Total Massacre have returned with new song ‘Pick Yer Poison‘ that is accompanied by a lyric video. ‘Pick Yer Poison‘ is a dissection of a core pillar of capitalist propaganda, the track details the myriad false choices provided to us by the cruel system we inhabit, culminating in the grim realisation that many of us have likely had this past year that “they don’t care if you die”. ‘Pick Yer Poison‘ is the latest of several singles to be released in the first half of 2021.

‘Pick Yer Poison‘ is available via Bandcamp, Spotify & Apple Music

True story: one of many weird jobs I’ve had in my life was working the night-shift at a vitamin factory. So the pills arrive in these massive burlap sacks, get hoisted up by a little crane, and then a worker splits the bag open over a big conveyor belt. That conveyor belt then sends half the pills down one line to be packaged into the name brand bottles, and the other half into the store brand bottles that cost about half as much. Now I know it’s only an anecdote, but that always stuck with me, and I’m pretty sure that’s how like 90% of our economy works. If the choices we made meant anything, they wouldn’t give them to us.
