[Mariana Trench] I remember when I was telling you about my favorite vices Don't you give me that look of pity I know just what's in your head Oh yes I know That mind of yours I think I understand Perhaps I'm not supposed to tell you Go search for yourself The deepest parts of you The Mariana Trench holds the keys Holes inside yourself, and the corridors between The Mariana Trench holds the keys I've been told before Many times by people who don't really get it Still I've told myself The things I want will soon be mine if I work hard Twisted by the rage I think that I should keep my mouth shut Go search for yourself The deepest parts of you The Mariana Trench holds the keys Holes inside yourself, and the corridors between The Mariana Trench holds the keys The Mariana Trench holds the keys I am an open book you can't read I am an open book you can't read [Faceplant] Shadows that walk on two legs, and trees that bloom inside cocoons Rusted towers I can’t climb The feeling of some warmth In simpler times we’d hold close Their eyes have scarred my tired mind Slip and fall I am sick of all the time gone down the drain Plus now I’m bleeding Baptized in mixed reception Laughing at me Just you wait, dick Rusted towers I can’t touch Their smiles still sting, and I feel cursed Slip and fall I am sick of all the time gone down the drain Plus now I’m bleeding I’ve decided to say fuck it Guess I’ll find out Here goes nothing

"Giving a shoutout to young Damian Wolf. Creating his own unique, great music." - Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)

"Sounds really authentic, nicely discordant where it needs it and great riffs throughout. Voice sounds killer and some of the changes are nicely unexpected and make for a well rounded, interesting and enjoyable listen. I'm a fan!" - Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines, The Cult)

"What a great album! All the tunes are well-composed, recorded, mixed and delivered with sustained and compressed guitar drive; flowing soft to hard, intense vocals; fueled with non-stop melodic and rhythmic emotional determination." - Jeff Jeffrey (Cue Recording)
