Pacifist is an Death Metal Grindcore quartet from New Orleans, Louisiana founded in February 2008. Their hometown roots prevail in the spastic, aggressive music that contorts from one seemingly disparate genre to another in a matter of seconds. The band has already gained a reputation for passionate live performances that mix precise musicianship with chaotic physical feats.

The lyrics of Pacifist seek to exemplify the music’s frenetic changes by quickly adapting from one experience to the next, all while keeping a cohesive overall subject. The words revolve around personal experience and the downfall of humankind: the failures that cause one person to injure another, spreading hate like disease through the remnants of what we consider society.

Simply titled Pacifist, the EP contains the first eight songs written by the band in a whirlwind five months of existence, highlighting their ability to crank out quality music in a short amount of time.
