Maranatha - Heartless

from Sociopathic Mixtape, Vol. 5 by Various Artists

/

about

⋘"Heartless" comes fresh off of Maranatha's brand new EP, "Spiritless", which has not yet received any type of formal or official promotion, marketing, or otherwise. Considering how much of an appreciation we here at the Sociopathic Team share for this amazing, hard-as-fuck band, we offered the sole member, Collin Simula, a last-minute spot on Volume 5 of the mixtape series as a means to help promote the new release and project in general.

Collin is extremely proud of the accomplishment that is "Spiritless", and feels as though it is the culmination of everything leading up to its release; or, to put it another way, the best work the "band" has ever put out. I don't think any fan of the band - new or older - would disagree with this notion. All six songs on the EP are crushing in a way that's almost indescribable; just check out "HEARTLESS" and you'll immediately want to support this amazing project - which you can do by visiting the bandcamp link at the bottom section of the band profile page.

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

"Maranatha. Heavy, dark and vicious hardcore. Created only from the hands of Collin Simula, a virtuous musician from Columbus. He just released his first EP entitled "Incarnate". And i must say i was really blown away by the quality of this. This EP features seven tracks and in the end it just leaves me begging for more. It has that fury and speed of Hardcore outfits like All Pigs Must Die and the total down-tuned devastation sound of bands like Trap Them or even... fuck, Entombed! Maranatha's sound has that really thin layer of that swedish sound, that enhances even more the heaviness that "Incarnate" EP is. Besides all of those metal influences this has a more hardcore facet. The track "Ascend/Descend" is so good, so good that i almost start breaking everything around me. I could name all of the bands that comes to my mind in order for you guys imagine what it sounds like, but it's easier for you to jump to the artist Bandcamp to check it out. And i fuckin' love it. Someone sign this guy... fast! Southern Lord or something! Highly Recommended."

-Older review, written in February 2012, yet pertinent to the biography of the project since nothing much is offered in the way of a bio on the official social media sites; source:
forevercursed.blogspot.com/2012/02/maranatha-incarnate-ep.html


ABOUT: Sludgy-stoner-core, like a super pissed swamp thing.

BIO (FB): Heavy metallic hardcore with sludge riffs. Or old school death metal with hardcore mixed in. Or doom with mosh parts. Something like that.

DESCRIPTION: Just trying to be honest with myself and everyone else. And heavy. Really, really heavy.

Collin Simula: Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums


BAND CONTACT INFORMATION: you can reach Collin by sending a private message through Maranatha's Facebook page, or by checking him out on his personal page (which is connected to Maranatha's FB profile, all you need to do is go there to figure it out).

lyrics

Watch us tear you apart
Watch us tear out your still-beating heart
Watch us tear you limb from limb
Piece by piece until you are left with nothing

Wickedness surges through your veins
Your black blood violating anything it touches
Desensitized to dehumanization
Don't worry, it's just part of the process

We’ve been living for the death of a culture
We’ve believed it’s our duty to destroy
We’ve been living to watch them suffer
We’ve believed that we’ve always heard a voice

But it’s always been my own heart
Now it’s slowly beating it’s last
Pumping wicked blood all over my hands
And I’m nothing but a heartless bastard

My blood runs black
