Jarret Beach, the person behind Discarded Self has this to say about the song »Push The Knife«: “»Push The Knife« is a slow moving look into the mind of someone who is sick with depression and touches on the topics of suicide/blood sacrifice. How it feels like you don’t want to exist in society, and you want to disappear and be forgotten. The song was originally titled Staple, and is essentially about barely holding your life together like a “bent staple with one arm” as the lyrics suggest. The song takes a horrible turn as the protagonist of the story performs a blood sacrifice of themselves in an attempt to become a demon, and seek revenge upon the whole world who has wronged them throughout their life. This song features Ashes Of Yggdrasil’s lead guitarist Brett on the drums, and backup vocals as well.”

“»I’m Weak« is an ode to all those who are born as a person with crippling disabilities, mental health problems, or sub-par lesser beings, that are unable to accomplish anything in life, and the feelings that are often associated with that, which are often followed by self doubt, self loathing, low personal esteem, drug abuse and suicide. I’m Weak is a tribute to close friend who is no longer a part of this plane of existence, who will remain un-named. This song embodies what the band name Discarded Self is all about.” Jarret says about »I’m Weak«.

Flooding forth with misery and hate comes the first album from Discarded Self, the Canadian solo project from Jarret “Fuzzgod” Beach, who’s also a member of the bands Destroy My Brains and Ashes Of Yggdrasil. Created during a time of personal isolation, the album »Discarded Self« ranges from tales of the macabre to introspective trips into self-loathing and personal degradation that dredge up terrible memories of the past to drown in personal regret. There is no hope for the future here.
