about

RETIREMENT have returned with a new release that seethes with this horrible world's ugliness, anxiety, and hate.

Harsh guitars, manic crashing drums, grinding bass, and unhinged vocals deliver a blurred vision of paranoia, mental illness, addiction, death, despair, poverty, etc. No feel-good anthems here, just the downward spiral of a dark and bleak trip.

Side A presents six violent smashers recorded by the band. The results are raw, deranged, and mean: Bleed City.

Side B unveils a broader palate through three bonus tracks:
a re-visioned cover, an ambient drainer, and a dome-splitter remix by Andrew Nolan (The Endless Blockade, Column of Heaven, Intensive Care, etc.) with source material from the upcoming LP "Buyer's Remorse" on Iron Lung Records.

Ex-members of Criminal Damage, Walls, Repercussions, Ossuarium, and more.

Lonely Water
by Andrew Nolan

"... this is industrial dub slowed to an agonising trudge, beats impacting like sandbags dropped from a skyscraper, the bass a molasses-thick goo that clogs the interstice between brain and skull, sending rational thought into a perilous tailspin..." https://gonzokaraoke.wordpress.com/2021/10/24/andrew-nolan-lonely-water/ Blastbeat Junkie

That We Be Made Worthy
by Intensive Care

supported by 15 fans who also own “BLEED CITY”

Devastating powerviolence laced with equal parts industrial noise. Scathing sonic textures clash with angry vocals in an aggressive manner, altogether resulting in a confrontational and raw album that hits hard The emphasis on the electronic elements ensures that every track is warped in a sinister way, but can still have their own unique vision. It also creates a specific identity for this band (who were causing destruction previously) to explore a territory of hardcore that remains untouched Lorenzo
