My Flesh Is Afraid But I Am Not is the long-awaited second album from SHOCK NARCOTIC, featuring Jeff Tuttle (ex-Dillinger Escape Plan), Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer), Shawn Knight (Child Bite), and Don Slater (ex-Battlecross), out today on Housecore Records!
In celebration of today’s release, SHOCK NARCOTIC has released a video for "Oblivion Licker.” Elaborates Knight, "The song is about feeling like everything is falling apart before your very eyes, accepting your reality and finding the strength to push through. It’s a pretty bleak, self-deprecating tune… but the takeaway is that in the end you are in control of how you react to life’s challenges. Embrace the absurdity of life, stop being your own worst enemy, laugh to keep from crying. Instead of bowing down to an early death, give it a smooch & move on.”
SHOCK NARCOTIC’s My Flesh Is Afraid But I Am Not is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find physical orders at housecorerecords.com and digital orders at housecorerecords.bandcamp.com/artists.
