I’m not scared of my deathbed Tuck it tight, with satin sheets I’m not afraid Please come swiftly There’s nothing to fear There’s nothing to fear Bring by my favorite flower Let’s party for that life lived Let’s pour one for after Letting go is a gift I count myself lucky Just floating along with the drift While saying goodbye to my body Angel of mercy come visit me in my sleep Angel of mercy sweet death come kiss me Please don’t mourn by my graveside I do not want your sympathy Do not want to hear cries Death is the friend you will need To be finally set free Of all your pain and suffering Angel of mercy come visit me in my sleep Angel of mercy sweet death come kiss me If this is how it’s meant to be Then sign me up and save my seat I will gladly take front row Lights out now, let’s start the show So this is how, this is how it ends It’s okay with me, I have made amends Death is not, it is not taboo It’s as much a part of me as it is with you So this is how, this is how it ends It’s okay with me, I have made amends Death is not, it is not taboo It’s as much a part of me as it is with you Angel of mercy come visit me in my sleep Angel of mercy sweet death come kiss me

Cornered 02:45
Think of times You wish you would have said this n that We’ll it isn’t too late Think of times you wished you didn’t stand in the back Well it’s time to show your face - Go So when you’re cornered with your back against the wall You’ve got to, you have to give it all you got And when your knees so that you can barely crawl You’ve got to, you have to give it all you got Right now there’s nothing left to lose Right now there’s everything to prove So tell me what your gonna do You’ve got to, you have to give it all you got What could be more rewarding Than manifesting what they’re all foreboding  Be your own hero And don’t wait a minute more What could be more rewarding Than manifesting what they’re all foreboding  Just be your own hero And don’t wait a minute, no no Don’t wait a minute, don’t wait a minute more Go, get it off your chest , Put this shit to rest There might not be a next time, Put that shit to rest Go, get it off your chest, Put that shit to rest There might not be a next time, Put that shit to rest

Reap 02:34
Reap what you sow You will reap what you sow You will reap what you sow You will reap What have you put out today In this dark world of all uncertainty  Wouldn’t you want to be better Or would you rather Enter the dark Where everything is growing stark Think no one can see you sin Not all who are watching Are visible, visible like you I hope that you will get yours All that you put out Will blow right back in your face Look at your face You’re a fucking disgrace What you give what you get Well have you ever wondered why What you give what you get Things go and turn out like they do What you give what you get When you delve into the rot What you give what you get The rot will delve right back into you

Who Told You, Who told you that it would be easy , Quit trying to please me I’ll be clapping back Quit crutching on others And watch your back Get a grip On your flaws Contort them into Something that you’ll love  Who told you that, you should be kneeling Get off of your feet This isn’t the time To feel the defeat Don’t cross that line Don’t know how to act When under attack, when under attack There’s snakes in the grass Where’s the shovel at, where’s the shovel at Just hold your head high Forget all the rest, forget all the rest Now how do you act, when under attack Who told you that, it would be easy Quit trying to please me, I’ll be clapping back Quit crutching on others And watch your own Watch your back When you’re scared There is too much to bare Life seems unfair, Have some pride There’ll be days when you get beaten down Nights where nothin seems to turn around Hold strong n stand your ground And have some pride Don’t let it die

Ringing 01:49
Tell me who do you Think you are To meddle in a game That clearly isn’t yours Tell me what’s so great, What did you gain By blindly stabbing backs Inflicting pointless pain I’m trying to pinpoint What makes this your business Talk talk talk talk Makes me suspicious, suspicious  Tried to help you but You spat right back Offered you my hand You turned your back Didn’t have to go End up like this You went and dug your grave I filled the ditch Keep my name out your mouth If you knew what was good for you You’d turn around Keep my name out your mouth If you knew what was good for you You’d leave this town You don’t know me So don’t be so controlling Just keep my name out your mouth If you knew what was good for you  You’d settle down Why won’t you leave this town I’d hate to have to make you kiss the ground Tell me tell me tell me Who do you think you are Tell me tell me tell me Who are you

Pigwig 01:13
Such a disgusting And filthy pig Misogynist Oh, so self obsessed, Epitome of a sick racist Could not be more selfish Rules with an iron fist There’s so much more to a man Than just being rich with money The underdogs are going to tear down the wall Guess what boy, you cannot have it all Let’s take his crown and melt it down Bring in the clown, It’s time to make him drown In his own gold Not even hell has a place for his dark soul  Drive the greedy piggy To the slaughter Just die
7.
Heard 02:08
Don’t you dare act like you already know Where I’m coming from  Or how all this will go I’m not out here in the streets  At night just for fun I’m out here making sure  The whole damn system comes undone Watch how the truth pours  From the backs of them On blood red sidewalks Where they are left laying dead Listen to the truth  Straight from the mouths of those Who’ve gone before us They know how the story goes I’m trying trying so hard Just to be a voice And it’s my time now to speak to speak  I’m trying trying so hard Just to be a voice And it’s your time now to hear me So take a seat Guess what, it’s not about you Surprise, it’s about the skin that we didn’t choose Guess what, it’s not about pain It’s about being a target for them every day Guess what, it’s not about you It’s about the extra bullshit that they put us through To keep us on the bottom Enough is enough - Now we’re their problem This is not a game - It is life or death This is not for fame- Come on raise your fist Stand up with us Or you are against us This ends, it ends now
8.
Who To Call 01:34
Who do you turn to When you catch yourself falling too deep Where are your allies The ones who will meet you out in the streets Who comes running When you’re outnumbered or in trouble Keep a tight circle The one you can call family  I can only trust - Trust the real ones You can only trust - Trust the real ones Not all brothers are only by blood  True brothers are the ones who will help you grow and grow Not all sisters are only by blood True sisters are the ones who will walk with you down that road
9.
Make every moment count Don’t let it slip through your hands Make every moment count And don’t forget it You never know what you’ve got Until it’s all dead and gone Makes it painful to look back Makes it harder to move on So do something worth it So from the heart that it’s out of your hands We’re all here just trying to meet the ends Whatever happened to being something Whatever happened to being someone What has happened to us You can’t rewind Or sift through the sands of time All you’ve got is here and now Run away or wear your crown Where’s your crown Rise up To the occasion Eradication Impacting something for once Times up This is your last cut Try not to throw up Impacting something Impacting something for once With or without hope With or without hope Leave your mark and don’t look back

about

“Hostilities’ name perfectly captures what they sound like – it’s a band of pure unadulterated, pissed-off hardcore.”
– Alternative Press

“NØ COWARDS is raging, menacing, and heavy in a way that's reminiscent of late-Nineties metalcore — and it's an absolute ripper.”
- Revolver Magazine

“Hostilities' harrowing journey through human suffering and empowerment feels timeless and prescient. Their brand of thrash-centric metalcore feels old and new.”
- New Noise Magazine

Formed in 2018, Hostilities has made no reservations or concessions for either their sound or their ethos. The goal was to punish and to that, they are no stranger. Having conquered the Pacific Northwest in relatively quick fashion, the band set out to take on the rest of the world. Fresh off a California run which saw them annihilate Central and Southern California, they were set to head to the Northeast with a run culminating with a performance at This Is Hardcore 2020.

The pandemic had other plans and rather than sit back and wait, Hostilities put together what will be their heaviest release to date. With soul damaging riffs and punishing drums, the quintet has set out to tell the world exactly what they expect of it. “No Cowards,” the forth coming debut LP after freshly minting a deal with Bullet Tooth, will do just that, recognizing the band as a force to be reckoned with for years to come. True to their DIY ethos, the band wrote, tracked and produced the record utilizing only outside help from close friends.

The band is comprised of vocalist Larissa Perrin, guitarist Colton Dodd, drummer Andy Rice and bassist Jeff Neuman. Ready to flip the hardcore scene on its head and kick its teeth in, Hostilities is poised to head out on an uncharted path leaving a road of destruction and chaos in its wake.
