"Rising from the ashes of Nottingham’s SPLITCASE, once a staple in the northern/midlands HC scene & a band who we have many fond memories of seeing regularly during our introduction to hardcore in the early 10s, we would like to introduce SOVEREIGN.
Sonically their influences are obvious, Satisfaction era Hatebreed, Biohazard, Crown of Thornz - brutal, metallic mosh riffs & breakdowns littered with gang chants & vocals covering topics of empowerment & personal growth. While there is clearly no intention to reinvent the wheel here, Sovereign have aimed for that sweet spot between metal & hardcore & nailed it perfectly - delivered with style and true ferocity.
The entire 3 tracks were recorded by Josh Baines at MLVLTD HQ in Sheffield; with so much existing affiliation to the label it felt totally natural & appropriate when Sovereign mentioned they were looking for help with the release."

LYRICS:
Do we need any more reasons
To wage our fears against the foe we face
Crippled by internal terror
Exhausted into a mindless state
Is this really still the world I see?
War for greed
Chaos breeds misery
Confront the enemy
Stand strong against the horrors of life
Face yourself destroyer of worlds
You’ll reign in torment so fear your fate
Will you be ready when they fire the gun
It’s already too late the time has come
S O V
Millions dying for the sins of the few
We will never be at peace
If we suffer in silence
Tormented by a system of violence
Revolution of the mind
Through history we’ve seen the signs
You cannot steal without crime
If you resist you die!
Play the victim while you cast your stone
Your acts of weakness form a cowards throne
Prey on the sheep cos you think you’re the wolf
Just another false prophet who’s lies infect the truth
S O V
Millions dying for the sins of the few
We will never be at peace
If we suffer in silence
Tormented by a system of
S O V
Systems of violence eternally reign
We will never be at peace
If we suffer in silence
Tormented by a system of
Violence
System of violence
S O V
