From a challenge by @juhol to make a piece in the hardcore genre. I think I got most of the elements but not sure I got the sound. Fun project anyway and I like how it came out, whatever genre it is or isn't.

Synths: Vital Sektor Leadoff

Guitars: '73 Fender Stratocaster

Amp: '78 Marshall Mk II Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it! No AI was intentionally used in this or any of my music.

Faultline

I got your letter where you said goodbye Said you felt better, I wanted to die Huge divide between you and I Is a faultline.

It's a puzzle I'd like to see resolved You don't care don't want to be involved Try to avoid it but we always fall Into the faultline

Ch Down the faultline I run lookin' for you Along the faultline Lookin' for a clue Runnin' and hidin' Slippin' and slidin' Down the faultline

At the faultline On my own Dialed you up Nobody home Drifting alone A techtonic stone Across the faultline

Vs Never could decide who was in control Any discussion became a black hole Just a coupla travellers don't wanna pay the toll At the fault line.

[Ch] Runnin' and hidin' Slippin' and slidin' Down the faultline
