1) Mexican black/death/punk band whose lyric themes are Misanthropy and the Apocalypse. They have self-released En La Penumbra (demo, 2009), Apocalyptic Rage (full length, 2010), and World Suicide (demo, 2012). They are currently signed to Chaos records and their label debut Scavengers Of A Dying Sun (full length, 2015) will be released in June.

The band started out as a one-man project by Mackoy Uribe in Tecate, Mexico when the "...En La Penumbra" demo tape was recorded on October 1st, 2009 . The tape was well-received in the San Diego/Tijuana/Tecate area, which inspired the project to be supported by a live band. To the ShitCult were added long-time friend and former bandmate Samuel Townsley (ex-Man Destroys Himself, Condemned, Parasitic) on Vocals, Panchies Cruz - Guitar, Brian Paredes - Guitar, Zinky Hernandez - Bass (all from San Diego Ca). The newly formed lineup played many shows in cities all over Mexico and USA. The first proper full-length followed soon after. "Apocalyptic Rage" was set for release via Grind & Destroy Records, but due to label troubles was shelved. After a few member changes and border crossing issues; Isaac Vargas a local troubadour from Tecate Mexico joined on guitars, and the "World Suicide" demo was recorded, showcasing even more apocalyptic black metal/Crust sound. The band still needed a lead guitarist, which is when former band mate Noel Bello (ex-Man Destroys Himself, Ninth Level, and some other bands not worthy of mention) joined the ShitCult. Vargas' riffing and Bello’s vision combined to create a more complex song structure and darker atmosphere to Shit. The final element was added with Carlos Escobar (ex-Omision) on Bass, and a more metallic and "sophisticated" sound was fleshed out, staying true to SHIT's tenets and philosophical bent since the very beginning - apocalypse, misanthropy, chaos, fatalism and darkness!!!

SHIT has developed a unique and chaotic sound; be prepared for their first full-length album "Scavengers of a Dying Sun" Via Chaos Records, Recorded and Mixed in Tijuana Mx By: Melchor Felix, Mastered in Munich Germany By: Michael Zech (Secrets of the moon,Ascension). Artwork handled By: Count Sebastian Bloodcastle and Daniel Corchado (The Chasm ex-Incantation.

Shit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flies run into mirrors, and so does everyone else
Chasing things they think are real
Happiness is a fairy tail

I don't want to be a downer
But that's all ever seem to be
I don't want to be a loner
But how could anyone really love me

I thought about dying last night
I thought about how hard it would be
I thought about thinking it over
I thought about jumping
I thought about not existing

But I can't do that, cause I think people care
At least enough to listen
To my complaints, roll another joint
Cause this is how I cope

I am a fly, trapped inside a lightbulb
The heat's beating down on my back
And I can't take it
But I can't leave because I'm trapped
I'm always trapped
Screaming, hurting, suffering, a slow death
And now my wings are burning
And so is my brain

So now all that think of
Is an escape

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Shit's song, the lyrics talk about how everyone chases after things they believe are real, but ultimately, they end up running into mirrors, just like flies. The chorus expresses the singer's feelings of being a downer and a loner, feeling unlovable by those around them. The second verse takes a darker turn, as the singer contemplates suicide and the difficulty of going through with it. However, they also recognize that people care for them and use coping mechanisms like smoking to deal with their struggles. In the final lines, the singer compares themselves to a trapped fly slowly dying, both physically and mentally, seeking an escape.

The song reflects the overwhelming sense of hopelessness and despair that many people feel in today's society. The lyrics represent a cry for help from someone struggling with depression and feeling trapped in their own mind. The imagery of the fly trapped in a lightbulb is a powerful metaphor for the sense of being unable to escape from one's own thoughts.
