ČUK A GEK Stačí mi jeden pohled a vidím dvě zbytečný kupy hnoje Čuk a Gek rádi rozdávají bolest, můžeš se s nima projet Ale je skvělý, že nikdo nepochybuje O slušnosti! O čestnosti! Zacvaknou studený pouta, tvrdá pěst najde měkkou kůži Houkačka přestane houkat a nastoupí slušní muži Je dobrý se dívat kolem, čeho je fízl schopen V akci jsou Čuk a Gek, dvě zbytečný kupy hoven RICK AND DICK One look’s enough for me to see two worthless piles of shit Rick and Dick like dealing pain, giving you a ride in their van But it’s cool that no one doubts The decency! The honour! Handcuffs snap, hard fist finds soft skin Siren stops wailing and decent man getting in It’s good to look around, observe what a pig can do, Rick and Dick are in action, two worthless piles of shit

ŠŇŮRY, SMYČKY Asfaltový holub se rozletěl na tisíc kousků Prase, co se trefilo, v klidu odložilo pušku Právě narozené dítě přišlo o svou pupeční šňůru, jiná se mu ale okamžitě omotala kolem krku Namířit, stisknout spoušť Nastavit pravidla ve svůj prospěch Přede mnou, za mnou poušť Vaří se mi morek v kostech V hledáčku nenažraných prasat od první vteřiny života Ve světě takzvaných morálních zásad v pozici terče a otroka STRINGS AND KNOTS Clay pigeon shattered into thousand pieces Pig that scored put aside his rifle Newborn lost its umbilical cord, in a flash, another one wraps around it’s neck Aim down the sight and pull the trigger Stack the deck just in your favor Ahead and behind leave just a desert Bone marrow burns and boils within me In cross-hair of greedy swines, since the very first second of their life In world of so-called moral lines, to be enslaved and torn

Jed 02:10
JED Kapku po kapce, jed kape do žíly, pomalu rozpouští vše, co jsme prožili Nevím, co dělat, a tak čekám na odpověď, ale přichází jen stejný jedovatý ticho - už ho znám kurva nazpaměť. Ani chlast, ani nikotin, ani tráva, ani heroin mnohdy nezraňují tolik jako naše ega Když to fetuješ, je to ta nejtvrdší droga! Krůček po krůčku, černá jeskyně, zapálit rozbušku sám sobě na klíně Nevidět nic, jen kus vlastního stínu, být vývarem z rulíku, vraního oka a blínu POISON Drop after drop, poison drips in veins, slowly dissolving all that we lived through I don’t know what to do, just waiting for an answer, but only poisoned silence echoes back -I fucking know it by heart Not booze, not smokes, not weed, nor heroin Often hurt as egos can When you dope it, it’s like the hardest drug! Step by step, black cave, lighting up the fuse on your lap See no more, than a flash of your shadow Become a nightshades, true lovers knot and a hanbanes infusion

NEKONEČNÁ ÉRA Rakety pořád dávají pocit, že zvětšujou malý péra. Podobně vypadají a když se jim věnuješ, utěšeně rostou. A pořád stejně dobře umí vyvrhnout dětský střeva. Ve vzduchu zazpívají, ty nad tím onanuješ Pár milisekund z nuly na sto A tak pokračuje nekonečná éra kouření si raketovýho péra ENDLESS AGE Rockets provide the illusion, that dicks are bigger than they really are They look the same and when tended well, growing bigger like hell And still can disgorge children’s intestines, you jerk off of the sound they make when they fly In split second from zero to one hundred Continues the endless age of blowing your own rocket dick

Zubatá kosa 01:39
ZUBATÁ KOSA Vyražený zuby se rozutekly po podlaze Korálky, co se zatoulaly z náramku kolem dásní Když chceš něco sdělit s chřtánem plným krve, zbývají jenom dvě možnosti - polykat nebo plivat Kosti v těle vydrží hodně, když se zlomí, srostou Horší je ztratit cestu jeden k druhému a nataženou ruku nahradit ostrou kosou Pak zbývají jenom dvě možnosti - krvácet, anebo odejít GRIM REAPERS SCYTHE Knocked out teeth scattered on the floor, beads that straggled from its gum band When you want to talk with a mouth full of blood, only two options are left - spit or swallow Bones endure a lot Broken ones will heal Worse is loosing empathy And held out hand switch for a sharp scythe Only two options are left - walk away or bleed

Protijed 01:23
PROTIJED Kladivo pomsty je hovadina, většinou ani nestihne dopadnout A ti, kdo by rádi soudili druhé, stihnou sami odpadnout Straight edge je osobní volba Straight edge je punkový postoj A pokud není bez nesobectví, tak neznamená ani hovno Viděl jsem tolik slabosti v životech plných odhodlání A nakreslit si X na pěsti vlastnímu selhání nezabrání Tak zapomeň na hustý kecy i kraťasy Mirka Dušína Tam, kde si myslíš, že to končí, tam to vše teprve začíná Straight edge je osobní volba Straight edge je punkový postoj Straight edge je protijed ANTIDOTE Hammer of revenge is bullshit, mostly it won't fall And those who wish judging others, they fall off themselves Straight edge is a personal choice Straight edge is a punk attitude And when there is no selflessness, then it means bullshit I have seen so much weakness in lives full of resolve And drawing X on owns fists won't prevent failure So forget Mirek Dušín's shorts and his mottos. Where you think you can see the end, thats just the beginning Straight edge is a personal choice Straight edge is a punk attitude Straight edge is the antidote

PTÁCI V TRNÍ V objetí dýmu z hořících křídel nelze se vrátit, jen jít vpřed Kdo seje vítr, má bouři sklízet, pochcípat v křeči na vlastní jed Víš, kdy je ruka nejsilnější? Když je zatnutá v tvrdou pěst! Na černém kříži, na slunci, v dešti, na každé z našich cest! Lány se táhnou po obzoru Odkvétá šeřík i černý bez Zpíváme další píseň vzdoru dokud nebude prázdná každá klec THE THORN BIRDS Embraced by burning wing's smoke Can't go back just march ahead Who sows the wind shall reap the storm Die in pain caused by his own poison Do you know when the hand is strongest? When it is clenched in a hard fist On a black cross, in the sun, in the rain, on every step of our way. Fields are spreading towards the horizon Lilac with Elder go out of bloom We sing another song of defiance, until every cage is empty

Mezi svými 01:32
MEZI SVÝMI Skoro mě ta křeč zadusila Jedovatý pohledy, co nejdou vystát Přehazovačky a zpocený čela Ví, že je pozdě, ale nechtějí prohrát Pohledy bodají jako včely V kruhu rodiny, uprostřed cely Bažina marnosti nás stahuje dolů Pokřivený životy v soukolí strojů Nenávidět jinakost stejně jako sóju Když se chceš přežrat u svátečního stolu AMONG ONE'S OWN Cramps almost smothered my breaths Poisonous stares one can not tolerate Comb-overs and sweaty bold heads They know it's over, still, don't want to abdicate Stares stinging like bees In a family circle, in a cell without keys Swamp of despair engulfing us in fears Twisted lives in machine gears Hate difference same as the soy, when you want to binge during holiday joy

about

Prague’s Protijed may wave the vegan straight edge flag, but their sound is less indebted to X’ed up icons like Earth Crisis and more in line with the driving, dark hardcore of Catharsis and Tragedy. Featuring members of V0nt, I Am Pentagon, Gattaca, and Got A Wolf, Protijed provides an outlet for its four Czech scene veterans to tap into the gnarlier, crustier end of their sonic interests while providing a platform for social commentary on living in a police state, the injustices of war, and the dehumanizing nature of capitalism. As a result, Stres sounds more in line with a band out of the Profane Existence scene than a ‘90s Victory Records catalog.

So many classic ‘90s hardcore bands excelled on the 7” format but struggled to make engaging full-length albums, possibly because the best bands of the era kept their live sets short and sweet. Protijed avoided the pitfall of overstaying their welcome by unleashing an eight-song LP that clocks in at just under 15 minutes. The band comes crashing out of the gate with “Čuk a Gek,” a two-minute barrage that tramples the listener with its driving riffage and pummeling breakdown. From there, Protijed unleashes “Šňůry, smyčky,” an explosive fusion of feedback-drenched dissonance and melancholic melodicism. The remaining songs on side A—“Jed” and “Nekonečná éra”—tread the line between desperate anthems and metallic savagery, while the four tracks on side B take on a significantly more raw and primal approach. Recorded two years prior, the four song spread from “Nekonečná éra” to “Mezi svými” finds Protijed in a much more vengeful and primitive headspace. The riffs are meaner, the songs are even more direct, and the recording sounds like everything is being pushed into the red.

Ultimately, Stres is the sound of a band that long ago opted out of the rat race of careerism, consumerism, and blind devotion to the status quo. Protijed is a band that observes modern society from a distance, yearning for a better tomorrow while watching our devolution with disdain and despair.
