She Wants The D-Pad KILLED IT! Just what I was expecting from you. It's heavy, grindy, chirpy, everything that I want from an Ncore artist. Favorite track: The Gloaming.

M0SHB1T Listening to this ride through the insane guts of the darkest corner of ACAs brain isn't comparable with anything that exists in our dimension. One fat face punch follows another and gets your inner brutal cells triggered to explode in pure madness. Thanks for this nice, fast paced, djent-lsd trip. Favorite track: Burnout.
Unicorn Hole

Unicorn Hole Self-Titled EP is an unrelenting Nintendocore release. There's not much here in the way of catchy hooks or roomy breakdowns. ACA focuses instead on keeping a breakneck pace and never letting up, while the tight riffing and eerie synths maintain a fairly dark atmosphere. I dig it! Favorite track: Writer's Block.

Why can't I go any faster (Cause there's no running) What about jumping the bushes (No there's no jumping) Just tell me what my abilities are Alone I am nothing alone I'll be harmed Wait (There’s a voice in the distance) Don’t go (Not in my range of vision) Follow me (A stranger is he) I’ll let you pick one of these three Forged from embers Tail like a candle This dragon’s ignited This is what I pick It’s rock paper scissors With extra mechanics 4 sound channels and grayscale palette This will be the fight of your life Stand up to your rival Stand up for what’s right You must become elite Remember his face You’re sure again to meet Running in tall grass The world is a scary place It’s dangerous to go alone Take this and you will be safe You’ll pick up more along the way You better be prepared to pay This is your first time out here all alone You sure are a long way off from home I’ve got this Hidden Machine To teach a technique any time It can be used infinitely To get to the places where I couldn’t be No hesitation I will bring this to a knife fight That is a threat, I will bring this to my next fight I’ve got this Hidden Machine To teach a technique any time I’ve got this Hidden Machine I’ve got this Hidden Machine Prepare to be cut HM01

We live in a world today Where everyone makes us feel ashamed Humanity seems to have regressed And more than half the population is self-obsessed Every time I go online 5 seconds in and I’ve already died inside Ignorance is the newest plague And entitlement is all the rage Why be cautious of what you say Someone will be offended anyway When ignorance is the newest plague And entitlement is all the rage What happened to the time When you could state your mind without being ridiculed It doesn’t matter if you’re right, you’re wrong in someone else’s eyes I’d rather be seen as a geek An outcast who never speaks Just works on music all day and wears video game tees Just give me a controller and my headphones I’m perfectly content to be left alone My friends are just the same Let’s make music and play some games We are the nescore nation 8bit metal elation

Burnout 04:32
Keys in ignition All twist right in unison Engines get louder As numbers decrease Eyes on the screen Are all waiting for green The countdown begins Feel the rush of adrenaline The choices you make Will determine your fate Foot to the pedal Become the machine Behemoth of iron Blood of gasoline Rubber meets asphalt The friction is hot Combustion and vengeance Fuel this juggernaut Hold your breath As you drift the curves ahead Pass the first checkpoint The leader’s been set and the world on the outside distorts and shapes coalesce Sparks emit from grating hardware Twisted metal thrown around Glass and shrapnel soar through the air Wreckage piles as time slows down Don’t give up now You’ve only proven that you’re a capable Adversary to the hordes of arrogant memetic blight The final moments Are drawing near as demonstrated by the Palpable endeavors of AI and human efforts both alike Turn Burn Retain the place you’ve earned Persist in your position Eliminate the competition Shift Drift Proliferate the rift Accelerate and overtake, Destroy all that’s left Destroy! Nothing but ashes, Lie in your wake The gold is yours to take The gold is yours to take Nothing but ashes It was worth it

Once again I catch myself Staring at an empty notepad It’s not that it was always blank It’s more-so that I just can’t think Hating all these words I write “Third time’s the charm” is what they say Well maybe it can be multiplied I’m on the 9th draft of today Misery is subjective One man’s pleasure’s another’s pain No matter how much I’ve had invested I feel there’s nothing I can gain I agonize over semantics Choosing appropriate words and phrases “For what cause?” I try to think It’s not like people read these pages It’s utter agony, but I put this burden on myself I’m my own biggest critic It can’t be good for my mental health Ha! What a laugh that is, To assume good standing of my state of mind When I’m arguing with a computer screen Just my words on the monitor are all you’ll find Skip the intro just for now We’ll return at a later time Hours wasted, procrastinated With nothing to add to this paradigm Stress is building rapidly Accompanied by anxiety Frustration and fatigue Lack of sleep is the routine Where is the end Of today It’s been dragging out for weeks When can I just go to sleep I’m sitting alone In the dark Waiting for the sun to rise But there’s still so much to do I just want to close my eyes For good Darkness’ embrace I long for your touch Come take me away Where I can remain Slumbering Caress my mind Extract the waves Frozen in time Longing for rest, my body aches

The Gloaming 04:25
The stars How they shine Show heaven exists Even at night So make the sun Fade away Invoke the night Replace the day All of the things That makes us weep Tear us down, make us weak Take it away from Our eyes Our vision So we can’t see All of the hurt That evil brings Coldness The suffering Take it away from This earth From the souls Of mortal beings (Make the sun Fade away Invoke the night Replace the day) When I am home I am set free Because you Are here with me From day to day I’m incomplete I find myself in misery My mind is cluttered with debris Buried in anxiety The lines are blurred Can hardly see Claustrophobic I can’t breathe Time is slowly passing me I’m drifting from reality But there’s light ahead How ironic My redeemer is the setting of the sun Shadows grow Landscape becomes unending Shapes morph into each other as my eyes open up Details fade From the objects on this planet A veil of sepia befalls our color spectrum Photons bounce Softly from our structures Graced with luminescence from Celestial spheres At this time Most retire to their dwellings Feeling exposed to creatures of the dark There is nothing For me to be afraid of Darkness is my element Contentment, my home The onset of the gloaming, Always accompanied by this spectral comfort Symbiosis of shadows and solace alluring Intrinsic desire for darkness elucidated by Exuberance received and significance discerned She is the mirror That reflects these sensations yet amplified She is my darkness A prestigious bestowal to legitimize my being There is nothing For me to be afraid of Darkness is my element Contentment, my home Source of vitality The reason I’m elated Providing energy and motivation It’s time to get to work She is the mirror That reflects these sensations yet amplified I’ve found my darkness Unrivaled gift bestowed to me to legitimize existence
