Backstory:
Unwelcome Disgust was formed in the gloomy underground music scene of Seattle in 2009. Founded by lead vocalist and guitarist, Zack Morrison, the band initially began as a personal outlet for Morrison’s raw and disillusioned worldviews. Eventually, childhood friends – bassist, Leo Reynolds and drummer, Mike Watson, joined in, making Unwelcome Disgust a dynamic trio. The band garnered a reputation for their electrifying performances and confrontational lyrics, reflecting Morrison’s jaded perspectives about society and politics.

Title:
“Anarchy’s Embrace”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] The city sleeps, drowned in [G] silence,
[Dm] Only to be woken by our [Am] defiance.
[Am] There’s a spark of chaos in [G] our hearts,
[Dm] Ready to burn the world [Am] apart.
(Chorus)
[F] Welcome to anarchy’s [G] embrace,
[Am] Where vast dreams and reality [E] interlace.
[F] We scream, we bleed, we [G] fight,
[E] To illuminate this everlasting [Am] night.
(Verse 2)
[Am] We’re the lost, the misfits, the [G] outcasts,
[Dm] With a future tied to our [Am] pasts.
[Am] We’re the voice of those who [G] can’t speak,
[Dm] For a world that’s grown too [Am] weak.
(Chorus)
[F] Welcome to anarchy’s [G] embrace,
[Am] Where hope and despair [E] face to face.
[F] We rise, we rebel, we [G] ignite,
[E] To break free from this [Am] endless plight.
(Bridge)
[Dm] In the chaos, we find [Am] order,
[G] In the pain, we cross the [E] border.
[Dm] In the dark, we’re the [Am] light,
[G] In the fight, we find our [E] might.
(Chorus)
[F] Welcome to anarchy’s [G] embrace,
[Am] Where life and dreams [E] interlace.
[F] We scream, we bleed, we [G] fight,
[E] Till we fade into the [Am] night.
Fan:
The band’s favorite fan is Kylie Patterson. Kylie, a teenager when she first discovered Unwelcome Disgust, found a refuge in their music during her tumultuous adolescence. She says, “Unwelcome Disgust became a lifeline for me. Their music echoed my own feelings of frustration and rebellion, and somehow, listening to their songs made me feel less alone. Their raw, confrontational lyrics spoke to me in a way no one else did. I’ve been to every single one of their concerts in the Pacific Northwest, and they’ve never failed to deliver a show that leaves me feeling understood and inspired. For me, they’re more than just a band – they’re a voice for all of us who feel like outsiders.”
