about

Peasant are back at it with their crushing new single and video for 'Cape Death', the first of 5 singles to be released over the next couple of months starting end of August 2023.

The Cape Town, South Africa based quintet once again show their propensity for mosh and blasts in a refreshing combination of 90s metal and contemporary heavy hardcore.

The track theme and lyrics are linked to what it means to live and die and the city of Cape Town, a city of unequal opportunity, punishing weather and daily grind. A side the tourists don't always get to see.

lyrics

Why does my soul always rest
Where the soil has death?

Sunrise
Over the bay
Here comes another day
Cape Death

Beauty, brutality
Flow through the veins of the city

Statues of preachers
Flaming south-easters
So many fight to live
Cape Death

Mothers in refuge
They break their backs
For the children of deluge

Mountains in shadow
Rot in the gallows
All futures slip away

Millions of people
Subject to evil
Its just another day

Why?
Does my soul always rest
Where the soil has death
Cape Death
Why?
Wont the madness end?
Cape Death

Why?

The shadow of the mountain
Rises over me
Like a figure always waiting
Always watching me

Why?
