New Jersey DIY thrash/punk rockers Worldsucks are gearing up for their new album, A Reckoning. This marks the group’s overall sophomore effort, which is the follow-up to 2017’s Warning You With Peace and Love. Guitarist/vocalist Mark Scully and drummer/vocalist Nick D’Amore began in the N.J. hardcore scene in the nineties. Since then, the duo have ventured out to different projects and genres but after a decade of exploration, the two teamed up in 2012 and went back to their heavy roots. A Reckoning is promised to be their most ferocious record to date. They took their frustration on today’s society across the globe by placing it into their feral beats.
Nick comments:
“We wanted to depict our anger and exasperation at the increasingly hellish existence in modern society. But, just hammering on the negative can get pretty dull—even though the record is only 16 minutes! So, there are a couple tunes where we try to pivot toward the changes we want to see and, perhaps, how to get there.”
Mark adds:
“I just knew that this band was different and could be very special, specifically after we wrote ‘Separatist’ (from Warning You With Peace and Love). I am still very fond of some of our older tunes, but I am really proud of, more importantly really like, our newest album. It’s the embodiment of our vision and our views, written and performed with the uncompromising unflinching approach that informs our music and lives—and we are just getting started.”
Today (31st) the duo has teamed up with Metal Insider to premiere the song “A Reckoning is Coming.”

Lyrics:
Powerless
Yet desperate to
Hold onto some perceived power
Gutless
So easy to
Attack the most vulnerable
Mindless
So satisfied
Doing the rich man’s bidding
Useless
They’re through with you
And all you have is nothing!
A reckoning is coming
For you
A reckoning is coming
At you
The establishment
Counts on you
To wage war on their behalf
Politicians
Don’t give a shit
Whether you live or fucking die
Their power is
Illegitimate
Should be tearing it down
Think you’re free
Cuz you got a gun?
When they got a target on you
A reckoning is coming
For you
A reckoning is coming
At you
All you got is whiteness (it’s over)
All you got is maleness (it’s over)
All you are is baseless (it’s over)
It all amounts to (nothing)
Fight the authority
Not the minority
Use yr energy at those who loom above
Stand with the immigrant
Not with ignorant
Turn yr anger to those who lord above you
Cops don’t make us safe
Bombs don’t make us strong
Freedom for the few is freedom for no one
You sense the shift
You fear the change
The reckoning comes, get right or get gone.
