Xibalba - Stoneheart

from Sociopathic Mixtape, Vol. 4 by Various Artists

/

about

⋘Coming off their Southern Lord full length "Hasta La Muerte", the track "Stoneheart" is markedly slow, sludgy, and heavy as fuck hardcore which California-based act Xibalba has become known for. Pissed off lyrics, breakdowns galore, downtuned guitars with a surprising amount of variation from song-to-song, and an all around special ability to write this style of hardcore music are just some of the characteristics of these guys.

Now, don't get us wrong here; Xibalba isn't going to convert anyone who dislikes hardcore in general, as they rarely incorporate atypical elements or other genres, but fans of HC who haven't yet had an opportunity to listen to this particular band will no doubt find something they can get into in a big way.⋙

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

Xibalba is a heavy hardcore/metal band from Pomona California. They are influenced by Disembodied, Morbid Angel, Martyr A.D., Santa Sangre, Bloodlet, Obituary, Crowbar, Unbroken, Earth Crisis, Downset, Overcast, and Sepultura.

Southern California hardcore warriors XIBABLA released their second LP Hasta La Muerte via Southern Lord in August. Recorded by Taylor Young (Nails) the relentless album takes the band’s down-tuned breakdown assault to iniquitous new dimensions; their breakdowns hitting with the power of tsunamis and their riffs like mires of quicksand , infusing some of the most doom-ridden tones one will experience within the hardcore genre.

Jason Brunes : Drums
Jensen Hude : Guitar

Brian Ortiz : Guitar

lyrics

Stone hearts are hard to break
Pound away, try to break me down
Stone hearts will never change
Cast away, in the rubble I'll remain

Stone heart

Don't you dare look into these eyes,
should have been blind
Please don't try to hold my cold hands,
'cause I won't feel

Don't mistake my kindness for affection
Don't mistake my affection for love
I'm far too insane, too far to save
I am a man, but not the man for love

Stone hearts are hard to break
Pound away, try to break me down
Stone hearts will never change
Cast away, in the rubble I'll remain

Stone heart(s)
Stone heart 'til the day I die

Sorry but I can't see
Eye to eye with the world
Victim since birth,
The outcome of mistake
Hate and lust have filled these veins
So I cut that bitch called love
I've been fucked since day one

Stone heart
Sorry Ma, stone hearts know no love
