    Dead In Paradise (released by New York-based VHS label, Videopunks & Capital Waste Pictures) captures the raw dirge of The Death Of Utopia live at the Northcote Social Club accompanied by a cacophony of grotesque, hyper-obscure visuals excruciatingly dispatched by Liam of Capital Waste Pictures.

From within the darkness roams Terror being suffering In search of a place to grow Misery Curse and cure Friend and foe This thing that isn't me Grotesque obscene A ghost without shape or form Molest in vain The bleeding can't stop Docile lamb flocks We're all dead A scene of slaughter Les gehts fuck Graveyard of misplaced hope Humanised Dreams of Utopia die Grotesque obscene Broken/ I see myself as scum/ Worthy once Now embroiled in futility/ Allies of enemies merge as one vague memory Rebel, feel the cause and effect A death wish to share/ Eat up little ones Regurgitate the uprising shit/ Rhetoric without the gloss I am you/ I hate you/ We are at war Live by the sword/ Die by your word/ Whispers amplified to screams When the numbers count/ No moral man will hear/ Deaf do us part Crawl into a hole of meaningless disgrace/ Whose words? I don't know/ When the voice you hear is the voice of a stranger The black flag has been bleached/ Surrender Blood-stained our colour turns to red As one you drop into the abyss One step ahead or behind I leave you to stand in line We're all dead Les gehts fuck When the light begins to fade As the harsh coldness of life Is revealed Hope that once carried the soul Annihilated The days are numb The nights aren't there And I don't care anymore Problem-Solution-Destruction-Freedom Pull the trigger Oppress this mind The Lie eradicated And I don't care anymore We're dead

Piss up against the Wall This world's about to fall Care not for the living Don't give a damn for the dead What we call life is in our heads A curiosity of consciousness that leads for fucking nowhere Sweating out disease of will No drug seems to fulfil I've tried screaming black I've tried smashing through the cracks But everyday I try won't take me back The long road lost when I forgot where I was Another dark night in the mould Now it's coming down One thought One drink One cell to release a million fears In the realm of the meek of it all means nothing One word One fuck One friend pushed too far Take another swing Beneath the crazed gun on the fake skin, you're the trend Can't hope for happiness Don't ant your forgiveness Take what's mine Leave it all behind Get on with life Gonna fuck up till I die Till I die I'm on my knees begging to be sexually relieved Society in collapse, the final party is now to be had Drink away all regrets while the life-blood still flows Pass out in the street of blackened maybes The junction splits into infinite possibilities But our journey has come to an abrupt end Welcome, welcome one and all to the death kneel Death Kneel Take me away with the flood of the end days Sweep into chaos as a child raised today To scared to breath to scared to even be The exit blocked by corpses drenched in piss A ditch of shit too good for us to rest Weeds grow over what was once so beautiful Sympathy lost till I find where I put my drink One for none and none for fuck you all

Disgust settles in the pit of my soul As mud settles in the bottom of an abandoned swamp The water is clear Yet the dirt remains Thicker than ever Waiting for another gagged and bound Corpse to shatter the piece of mind Baring unique marks of its torturer The body sufferers even in death Necrophiliacs resurrect Our world/Your world Sick world Rape In/Out While the silent lay awake Pathetic ego Of the Other/ Self While the blind lead the way Master- Take my will I want to no more- enslave the human race Words- Persuade my other half to deny- disguise dystopia Hope- With the end in sight one hide- is no more Soul-my faithful companion in deceit- rotten to the core Hope- Bury myself in the void of lies- is no more

about

A vision of human cruelty, obsession and mystery are delivered through circuit bent vintage video hardware. A hallucinatory state of drone and distorted technicolour mayhem is forced upon the senses using homemade vision mixers to create a video synthesis. Green out as the viewer disappears into the space-time abyss.

Sonic doom synthesized with DIY, retrograde VHS circuits, hardware and mixers, in a continuous 70-minute display of harsh, psychic torment. The Dead In Paradise launch tour will see the elaboration of this collab. It will also be Space Bong’s first show in Tasmania and the first interstate shows officially as an eight-member doom crew.

This surreal transcendence is enacted as if Carl Sagan and Terrence Mckenna venture deep into the Amazon’s heart of darkness, connected by autonetics. An astrophysicist and a psybernaut of esoteric ancient civilizations delivered a dose of ayahausca through the third eye to explore the inner psyche and outer dimensions of humanity and the universe.

The hour-long journey also includes a rare recording and live performance of Darkthrone’s Rust in one of Australia’s notoriously brutal insane asylums, Z-Ward, located in Adelaide, South Australia. Set amongst the silent screams of torture victims still present within the facility, this location will go down in history as a disturbing example of what humanity is capable of at it’s most ignorant and vile.
