This is a glossy gatefold 7″ with a CD included. They’re numbered and limited to 500 for the first press. 100 on white. 200 on black with white splatter and 200 on white with black splatter.
“Blue Room” is the latest (and greatest, it seems) from Baltimore, MD grinders Triac (a split release between Forcefield Records and Reptilian Records). Their first recorded output with new vocalist Noel Danger, the EP tears through seven tracks in 13 minutes and is actually a hint more controlled and diverse than some of the band’s past efforts, which is actually pretty damn cool. I’ve been a fan of everything these guys have done to date, but this time out the tracks seem to rein in some of the noisier and more chaotic elements in favor of a more energetic and blasting form of straight up crossover-influenced grindcore - pumped up with some surging, pounding bursts of scraping, dissonant sludge to mix things up and keep it interesting. The tracks range from 40 seconds to four minutes, too, so… that just goes to show you the type of ground they’re covering here. It all fits, though. It’s a consistent listen with a thick, perfectly raw recording that’s got a balanced mix and just the right style of warm, dirty texture to keep the wall of sound raging onward. Very cool. I’ll certainly be looking forward to more, as always…Triac “I Wish the Worst for You”
This one’s uniquely packaged in a glossy gatefold 7″ sleeve (hand-numbered out of 500) with the CD version housed between two slots in the left inner panel, while the black and white splattered vinyl 7″ and a little xeroxed booklet are inside the right half. The 7″ contains the first five tracks and the CD contains all seven. Awesome. Killer artwork throughout as well, in the band’s trademark old school, high-contrast black and white style. Simple yet effective! - AVERSIONLINE.COM

Where is the light?
I haven’t heard a sound in six days
Six Days
It all extends around me
Tubes can’t keep my mind from wandering dreamscapes
Dreamscapes
These tunnels fold around me
They’re tasting something
I can’t remember
I’m falling
Drifting
Hanging
They fall like stars around me
Someone’s been whispering something
Can’t put my finger on it
Please help me
Please let me out
Please help me
Please let me out
Please help me
Please let me out
Please help me
Please let me out
Out
Out
Out
Out
Out
I’m falling
Drifting
Hanging
Their tendrils pulling at me
Their voices rise in union
They’re drinking of my breath
To cross the threshold through the door
The narrow score
The lines between the lies
Beneath the scathing surface
There lies the sapphire eyes
It never bothered her before
The room burns with blue
Replace the lock and close it in
Because you know they’ll stay buried on their own
They try to escape
Run
Open your eyes
Take no prisoners
Tilt your head back, drink it in
And feel it soak into your skin
The walls bleed light, let’s drink it in
And loose yourself into the sin
And let go
Let go
Open your eyes
Tilt your head back, drink it in
And feel it soak into your skin
The walls bleed light, let’s drink it in
And loose your arms into the sin
And let go
We sink and carve and burn it in
We shake and writhe into our skin
Our minds evolve into our skin
Our brains take everything away
Right now
Right now
Wake up
Right now
Wake up
Right now
Right now
Burn my mind’s stink right into the ground
Fascists
Ignore the patterns of those who are constantly abused
Critically endangered
Danger
Ignore the chatter of those whose mouths must have all gone loose
Masterfully tainted
Tainted
Tainted
Tell them all nothing
Tell them nothing
Tell them nothing
Tell them nothing
