    This is the second press of thebut 7" on Headfirst! Records released 6/1/2016. Comes with a free digital download, stickers, etc.
    In their first release “At Capacity,” Wake of Humanity delivers a punishing sound of heavy hardcore with thought provoking lyrics that inspire you to make the world a better place. The record begins with a sample of a distant rainstorm and a lone wolf howling as it progresses into the bass driven track WA016F, a lamenting homage to the breeding alpha female of the Teanaway wolf pack who was recently murdered by a poacher just a mere 45 miles from Seattle. The EP wanders through an unapologetic call out of opinionated activists contradicting themselves in “Null and Void” and the horrors, pain and suffering brought on by vivisection in “Without Valor.” The EP concludes with the title track “At Capacity” where LaPointe agitatedly proclaims “WE ARE THE BOTTOM LINE” aimed at how as a species Homo sapiens have completely lost touch with non-human animals, the environment on which we rely and ultimately each other. The crushing breakdown and sing along at the end of the song paves the path for their next release which will prove to be as diversely energetic as it is dark and devastating.

    Includes unlimited streaming of At Capacity via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Close to home Total obliteration Systematic extermination Trapped, poisoned and shot Living on the brink of extinction Before the humans, Before the greed, Before the ruins, Before the machines Free to roam, lands unspoiled From the mountains, over ridges, to the sound Close to home Close to Total obliteration Systematic extermination Fear begets murder Dying on behalf of hubris Living on the brink of extinction Dying on behalf of hubris

I always knew you were a fucking fake I saw it coming from a mile away Those who shout the loudest always seem to fall the hardest You're face first in death And I'm bitter like the blood on your breath Your words mean nothing Your actions are null and void A stance once held so fucking strong But you chose a different path The war continues, and we fight harder Until the end and with meaning Until every fucking cage is empty Some commitments are written in sand Only to be washed out by the next tide While others choose to write their commitments in stone I choose stone We choose stone Until the end You choose sand You gave up You gave in Words and actions Null and void

I hang my head Words lost to tongue Mouth parched, dry Wounded, bleeding, pierced Close to the heart, a shortness of breath A narrow escape Staring death in the face You said you were true Yet false you ride You said you were true As your victims die Left behind, discarded In the name of science A pointless, vicious death Experimentation is an abomination I will never come to understand your profession It reeks the stench of rotting flesh, bleeding eyes and shattered bone I think, I care, I live with compassion Without valor, you die a fraud

At Capacity 02:00
We are the bottom line Ideals fall short and fail to align with reality Connections lost to convenience We continue to bargain at any cost To obtain comfort, we destroy the natural world How many more species must go extinct? How many more natural disasters must we endure? How many more ecosystems must collapse until we realize We've reached the threshold Too many humans breeding us into oblivion We are the bottom line
