Horrid Human Condition post new crust video "Abused By Life"




Props to Italian crusters Horrid Human Condition for the most relatable lyric I have heard in awhile, "...You wake up already tired." If you are mired in the drudgery of daily rerun capitalism existence, you will likely relate to "Abused By Life". The explosive first single, just under 2 minutes of punk perfection, from the band's Time To Kill Records debut Perpetual Imbalance can be heard below.

The band commented: 

"'Abused by Life' was the first track composed by the band, shortly after the formation in the summer of 2022. Musically, it is a synthesis of the influences found throughout the album, ranging from neocrust to more traditionally crust punk sounds, with some black metal elements. The song deals with the theme of human exploitation in the workplace. In an increasingly fast-paced and cynical society, the ones who suffer the consequences are the workers, forced to give up their rights just to survive, spending a part of their existence in a state of alienation.
The lyrics are inspired by two major films: 'Metropolis' by Fritz Lang and 'The Working Class Goes to Heaven' by Elio Petri".
