False Readings from Groundsworn by Benchset

The very ground shifts underfoot, not from natural erosion but from a deliberate falsification, chronicling a Ledgerclad’s terrible choice and the generational claim it extinguishes. This track lays bare the gut-wrenching spiral when small compromises unravel everything, revealing how quickly a familiar landscape can become alien territory. What begins with clean, almost inviting melodies—a deceptive calm—slowly distorts, the sound itself transforming into an aural landscape of escalating chaos. Precision drumwork gives way to erratic patterns, punctuated by the mechanical clicking of instruments gone rogue, each sound amplifying the creeping dread. It's the central themes of institutional corruption and the moral rot from a single lie that drive the track's tension. The piece pushes listeners through the cold progression from complicity to a devastating, undeniable recognition of ruin. It’s a hard listen, an unflinching look at the weight of ethical choices when profit always seems to call the final shot.

Raw angles and bleeding feedback—we throw measuring chains against the system. Our riffs mark boundaries between rage and repair while vocals stake claims in the dirt of what's true. Every show's a rusted benchmark, a raised fist for the ground-level grinders.
