about

The debut single from The Talon. 'Hateful Thing' is a showcase of the bands take on modern hardcore combined with dirty rock 'n' roll riffs.

Hailing from the diverse and vibrant city of Cape Town, and with deep roots in local hardcore, punk and metal, The Talon is on a mission to carve out a space of their own in the ever-growing South African underground music scene.

lyrics

Angered in injury
Exhausted when I sleep
Nourished by poison
I'm shivering in the heat

Time passes unseen
Its crawling hands
Skitter in annihilation
A cold bed to die in

Swollen and empty
Eaten from inside
Divide until you’re nothing
Waste away with a smile

Sleep to forget your worries
I’m in a trance
Enfolded with regret
Like leathered wings

Screams at dawn
A whisper of the wild
Laughing to mourn
And I am just a child

I will rot on the vine
I am withered and weak
The gates are barred from the inside
And I’ve swallowed every key
