Pain is Truth
Nine Ways to Say I Love You
A band that formed in 1994 that has influenced a decade of amazing bands. Unfortunately they are done. Drew is now a proud father and lives in Upstate NY with his Wife. Mike continues on with on tour with The Dillinger Escape Plan as their sound guy and has moved out to Denver and loves it. Tim Parent has a new band called "Splinters of Tomorrow" that really embraces that old school sound. Kasey Dorr is very busy with his band Gunther Weezul. They just released their second CD called the "Sons of Perdition" you can buy it online as well as the first album at overitrecords.com
There is good reason that Section 8 have achieved god like status in the Albany underground scene in a few short years. They have one of the most original and interesting sounds ever put down on record. To classify them into a single genre would be sacrilege. Their debut Pain is Truth drew much influence from the hardcore scene but combined this influence with originality and experimentation. 9 Ways finds the band increasing their scope and experimenting unapologetically with different genres and sounds. What they have created is in fact a hybrid of hardcore and death metal combined with traces of goth, black metal and classical writing. Section 8 put out an impressive debut, but it pales in comparison to their latest work. As a band, they have matured and have driven their extremity to a whole new level which is unparalleled among their peers. Their front man Kasey Dorr is dark, menacing and a truly scary fucking guy. The rhythm section is probably one of the best ever assembled, low end heavy grooving bass timed perfectly with Tim Parent's precision drumming. The guitar switches at will from complex acoustics to hyper aggressive hardcore breaks and back again flawlessly. The songs on this disc follow a basic formula in which they start off slow and mellow with acoustic guitar or low bass. Kasey sings in harmony, building up a tension and drawing you into the music with a hypnotizing effect. Without warning, catching you completely off guard, the music then explodes into a screaming bloody fit of rage and brutal maniacal rhythms. Then they switch back again and repeat the pattern, but never predictably enough to feel at ease while listening. The sound works very well and fits the lyrics nicely. Dorr, who writes all the lyrics, must be one of the most terminally depressed people on this planet. The writing is exceptionally good, almost unparalleled in its bleakness. One gets the feeling that Dorr is exorcising his personal demons through music, in effect a catharsis of suffering, loss, and aggression, coming across so honestly that it is frightening. The topics discuss loss of faith, loss of love, suicide, and revenge. The lyrics are also riddled with quasi-satanic occult references. But this is not the dumb satanism of many metal bands, this is cryptic imagery with a higher meaning. Dorr's obvious command of theological concepts and religious imagery is impressive even as he rejects those concepts and questions the validity of everything he has been taught. His understanding of religion makes his anger at God all the more convincing and real. When Dorr screams "From hell's heart I stab at thee" over and over again on God Complex he sounds like he absolutely fucking means it. Divinity Of Lonelinesss contains an almost two minute harmonic vocal section which is truly eerie, talking about the death of a loved one. Then, with no warning, it breaks into heavy grinding guitar and breathless violent screaming "Embrace The Nothing". This is dark and unsettling music. It is also written and played with incredible talent and originality. For a relatively young band, Section 8 have already made a name for themselves. They stand poised along the likes of Cutthroat, One King Down, and Withstand as gods of the Albany/Troy underground.

Winter
Section 8 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh can't you see that I am fading.
I tried to love you but you only have yourselves to blame
I am so tired of this masquerade.
They're all around me paranoia starts this strain again
Am I insane? Why am I laughing.
Feel like exploding, holding back with all my discipline
Don't ask me why, I'll tell you nothing.
Growing colder by the step
I'm talking to myself again
Have I finally reached the edge.
I wipe away these icy tears
You know I've done my part
Subzero winds they numb my fears
In this winter of my heart.
Please help me god I'm freezing
I know it numbs my pain
From the bottom of hell she's crawling
Can you feel her?
I know the fear of bleeding
I know that pleasure is pain
From the bottom of hell she's crawling
Can you feel her?
Lay down with a whore called darkness
I know she calls your name
She calls my name.
Lay down with a whore called darkness
She calls your name.
I lock my doors up and prepare myself for lonely days
I don't want to love or see the dawn
A storm is coming
And its going to blow you all away
Why am I laughing
Now that all is gone?
I bid you all
A cold goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
The song "Winter" by Section 8 is a dark, introspective look at the isolation and pain that one can experience when they feel disconnected from those around them. The lyrics are an expression of the singer's feelings of detachment from the world, and their inability to find solace in the people and things around them. The first verse sets the tone for the song, as the singer looks at the faces of those around him, but feels that they are all strangers with "forgotten names." He is fading away, becoming invisible to the world, and he blames this on the people around him, whom he has tried to love, but who have only caused him pain.
The second verse is more violent in its imagery, as the singer feels like he is going insane. He is holding back his anger and frustration with all his discipline, but he feels like he is going to explode at any moment. He is walking in his own "frozen mind," growing colder and more isolated with each step. He talks to himself, wondering if he has finally reached the edge of reason. The chorus reinforces the idea of this frozen, isolated world, where the singer is numb and alone, crying icy tears, and being consumed by subzero winds. He calls out to god for help, but it seems like no one is listening.
The third verse introduces another character, "a whore called darkness." This personification of darkness represents the singer's own inner demons, the parts of himself that he hates and fears. He knows that she is crawling up from the bottom of hell, and he can feel her influence in his life. He knows the fear of bleeding and the pleasure of pain, and he feels like he is losing control. He warns the listener to stay away from this "whore called darkness," but at the same time, he acknowledges that she calls his name. The final verse is a farewell to the world, as the singer says goodbye to everything he has ever known. He is prepared for the storm that is coming, and he knows that it is going to "blow you all away." He laughs, acknowledging the futility of his existence, and the song ends on a note of finality.
