    Numbered Limited edition, vinyl LP, 150 copies only, screen printed covers
    Recorded live in the studio at Chells Bells Cuntry studio retreat. ∑GG√E|N’s ∑√|££ LP is ∑GG√E|N’s first full-length studio release. Containing an index of their subtropical goth songbook. Shanties of Oiban dysfunction, Suss Cunts sit next to ditties of Suboiban oinwee, Drinkin’ Stinkin’ Pinkin’ Bar. Slabs of electric distress, Destroy Your Self are juxtaposed by metallic dirges of introspection, Short Back and Sides. Psychedelic doom grind body snatches artist Heath Franco in Living inside an Atom, whilst Marshalls Portable Music machine tells an all too familiar tale of inter-familiar polyamory “my mummy fucks your daddy, your daddy fuck my mummy....”. Finally the nature of contemporary existence is mapped in, W.O.T.W (way of the world), “they fuck with us.... We fuck with them”. But remember as uncle Leonard Cohen said “There are never any dirty words, not ever.”

lyrics

Destroy Yourself
My Mind is consumed
I smile at nothing
I know it won't be long
'til I am too far gone.

I act without reason
But, there's a lot of that goin' around this season.
I can't think straight
I walk with a gait.
I can't remember the last time I ate.

I felt the night starting to fail.
It's all over now
There's no wind
To make my boat sail.
Now it's time to sink
To a watery grave
I am on the brink
and I feel far from brave.

It's gonna happen
It's gonna happen
It's gonna fail.

It's definitely useless
Still, I wish you wanted to help.
It is certainly fruitless
There's no benefit for yourself.

Don't treat my mind like a toy
You made me feel good
But I've made a vow
To never feel alive again
To NEVER fell ALIVE again!

I make allowances for the things that make me sick
Fear and dread live inside my head
And I can't even lie straight in bed.

I feel nothing but sickness and weariness
It's maddening.
Is it even happening?

I can't get better
I won't get better.
Prevention is better than cure
You can't prevent accidents
And you're the cause and the cure
Of an illness that is pure
It will get a lot worse before it gets any better
I've never looked so far into someone's eyes
I wish I hadn't.

My thoughts cripple my brain.
My thoughts cripple my brain.
I'll never forgive the world
For letting me down.
It promised me so much
but delivered so little.

I want to reward you with my suffering
make you so ill that you will
Destroy yourself.
Destroy yourself.
Go on, don't be afraid now
Destroy yourself!

Destroy your, self
Destroy your, self image
