Hekátē - Tears Of Blood

   


   Hekátē (https://www.facebook.com/hekatepunk) are a synthwave punk band from Athens. They formed in 2018 and feature a line up of Iris (synths), Chara (bass), Vicky (drums) & Lydia (vocals). 

  They've just released a new album, their second, titled Μαύρη Tρύπα (Black Hole). It's available on vinyl via Mascara Rocks Records https://mascararocks.bandcamp.com/album/black-hole You can also find the digital download here : https://hekatepunk.bandcamp.com/album/t-black-hole 

  The track I'm highlighting also features on a compilation album titled Olive Seeds: An International Benefit for Mutual Aid in Gaza (https://thedissidents.bandcamp.com/album/olive-seeds-an-international-benefit-for-mutual-aid-in-gaza). It's the latest in a series of fundraisers which like the earlier releases features some great bands. Those previous comps were covered here :   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/02/the-dissidents-brother-did-you-weep.html and here :   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/06/dark-thoughts-bubbles-gonna-burst.html

  This is Tears Of Blood... 

 Sound the alarm, another building down.
 A life under siege, a prison town.

 The air is thick with smoke, nowhere safe.
 The air is thick with smoke, nowhere to run.

 Medics under fire, people underground.
 Airstrikes coming, incessant sound.

 The air is thick with smoke, nowhere is safe.
 The air is thick with smoke, nowhere to run, run, run.

 When bombs like rain fall from the sky then teαrs of blood fall from their eyes.
