1996 Four months of recuperation were marked complete on April 12 when Earth Crisis flew to Los Angeles to be a part of one of the most historic shows in hardcore, selling out the Whisky in Hollywood with labelmates Snapcase and Strife. From there, more touring took place to make up for lost time. In July, the recording of Gomorrah's Season Ends was completed. Late August will find them touring Japan for the first time, and a statewide assault begins in October. Look for an interview on an upcoming MTV News special "Smashed," focusing on alcohol abuse and its effects on young people. This release proves to the MOST HARD-HITTING of all of EC's past albums.

This release must be one of EC's most extraordinary kind of music. Never has anyone expected them to play like this. With more metallic, guitar riffings and in ur ass drums, and a vocalist that shows the care for his throat as how u people care for the Earth, this album is worth checking out.

BROKEN FOUNDATION…..

Pain. Bashed to the floor. Ugly, inferior, helpless and worthless. A low self-image
has been made. It's continously reinforced. Barbed words that never leave the mind echo and cripple from the
inside. Wounds of selfdoubt bleed fear and tension. Built to fall from a broken foundation. Begging for
forgiveness when no real wrong has been committed. Just to try to calm the rage before it degenerates into
violence. There's no refuge. In what should be the refuge when the wrong words ignite anger. There's no
refuge. In what should be the refuge when the wrong words ignite anger into frustration that can't be
controlled. Stumbled, fractured through years of confusion. Now the direction's set. Your potential is finally
realized. Rising as the embedded harm is slowly overcome. Bashed to the floor. Ugly, inferior, helpless and
worthless. A low selfimage has been made. It's continously reinforced. Barbed words that never leave the mind,
echo and cripple from the inside. Arise and build anew. Express release. Seize control. Express release.
Reinvent. Arise and build anew. 

CEASE TO EXIST…..

Doomsday befalls. Awakened by sirens, the fifteen minute warning. ICBMs scream from
their silos into the sky. Warheads detonate over their targets. Nuclear blasts incinirate city after city. Swept
away by the shock of the explosions humankind dies in agony. Ash blocks the sun from penetrating the choked
atmosphere. The global temperature drops into nuclear winter. Below, radiation poisoned air, soil and water is
all that's to be found. By what is left of who is left fires burn from the haze of a darkened world. Charred skins
hangs from the bones of survivors as they struggle trhough leveled rubble. Past-gutted buildings and unburied
bodies. Hell rages on the face of the earth. All creation lays at the mercy of madmen whose commands will cast
us into world war three. If the keys turn from the press of a switch all life as we know it shall cease to exist.
Cease to exist. Cease to exist. Cease to exist. Cease to exist. 

GOMORRAH'S SEASON ENDS…..

From the core of my being comes this promise to myself that I won't break
my honor before all. A one-way mission through life, I won't change my course. There's far too much to
experience and accomplish to waste a precious second drunk or hazed. An effective revolutionairy through the
clarity of mind that I've attained. I see it all for what it is as Gommorah's Season Ends in the grave. So many
have become demoralized that now a change must be forced or all will perish in the lunacy once it befalls.
Parasites gnaw att the basis, their vulgar ways bring pointless ends. Perpetuating the degeneration. In this self
is all I need with this oath that keeps me free. To this I am forever true. I am straight edge. I am straight edge. I
am straight edge. I am straight edge.

CONSTRICT…..

Rage has ruled me for so long that I don't want to think anymore. I've tried to claw my way out,
but I am sealed in. It seems the game is designed to make me lose. It's weigh slowly drags me down. I draw a
breath as I slip under. The dim light fades as descent begins. I have to fight my way through. Stark flesh sinks
through the freezing liquid darkness. Pale hands bound before me, rushing deeper with every heartbeat. I will
not relent to despair. As depression contricts it's coils close in around me. Depression contricts. My will is the
blade that cuts the coils from around me.

NAMES CARVED INTO GRANITE…..

Civilians used as pawns in a demons power games. Buildings crumble,
planes fall, blown out of the sky. Shrapnel from a car bomb takes the lives of all who were near. Terror tactics
designed to spread disorder and fear. Potential military targets are left untouched by the cowards who instead
kill unconnected innocents. To the level of the antagonists. An inane futility that only compound the wrong.
Hatred that erases sense fuels rivalry into an escape of atrocity after atrocity. Without an end. Potential
military targets are left untouched by the cowards who instead kill unconnected innocents. Civilians used as
pawns in a demons power games. Buildings crumble, planes fall, blown out of the sky. Shrapnel from a car
bomb takes the lives of all who were near. Terror tactics designed to spread disorder and fear. The names
carved into granite are revealed as the snow is brushed away. Fingertips trace across them. Memories are all
that remain.

SITUATION DEGENERATES…..

The situation degenerates. Again alcohol hits the bloodstream. Overwhelmed
by the desire to feed the desire. Inebriation numbs the brain. Nothing changes, nothing imporves. Empty bottles
and empty days. The captive is pulled deeper into an aimless maze. Wasted time passes as the walls of the vice
close in. Dying internal organs no longer fuction. Judgement impaired, direction lost. Trapped in a repeating
process. Wasted time passes as the walls of the vice close in. Dying internal organs no longer fuction.
Judgement impaired, direction lost. Trapped in a repeating process. The painkiller takes a life. The painkiller
takes a life. The painkiller takes a life. The painkiller takes a life.

MORALITY DICTATES…..

Crowded against one another, or penned into an artifical environment. Unbearable
lonliness, separated from their fellow creatures contact. Individual innocent beings, each cow, sheep, pig, goat
or chicken. Viewed as a product to processed. Raised only to be slaughtered and consumed. Murdered victims
enshrouded with false names that deny their suffering. Beef, mutton, pork and poultry. Creatures torn and
butchered only for the petiness of the flavour of their decaying flesh. The carnage of the slaughterhouse is all
completely unnecessary for sustenance of techonologically advanced mankind. Constantly brainwashed from
the beginning to believe the opposite of this truth. The brutality is anacceptable. I strive to end the exploitation.
Morality dictates. Morality dictates. Morality dictates. Morality dictates that I live vegan.

CLING TO THE EDGE…..

Pleasure at the price of madness. With delusion their minds are full. Damned to
misery are those who succumb to temptations pull. Their lapse of control bleeds over onto all of us. At risk to
harm as they indulge themselves. The floor beneath crumbles into dust. Screams of the wretched cut silent. As
they submerge into the cesspools depths. I cling to the edge battered by the torrent of disease that rages past.
Of disease that rages past. Of disease that rages past. Of disease that rages past. I cling, I cling to the edge.

FORGIVENESS DENIED…..

Forgiveness denied for the unforgiveable. Blood for blood the guilty must be slain.
Violated, dehumanized for a sadist freakish thrill. Demonic evil incarnate an emisasary of suffering. Reveled
in their helpless anguish again and again. A string of shattered victims left in the wake of his sickness.
Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end. Justice for the victim, justice for the victim. The hammer hits,
powder ignites, forgiveness denied. Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end. Emerge from the horror to
bring it to its end. Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end. Emerge from the horror to bring it to its end.
