Stray Dogs 10:42
Rains are falling down, thunders break the sky Tempered skin and bone wander left and right A faint voice breaks through the light in darkness nearing We’re running down this emptiness There ain't no time to lay to rest The endeavor lasts with a voice to raise Against this world of balls and chains Understand the monologue echoing inside you No shadows ever grow under our trees We’re answering the ancient call that lives and breathes We bathe in vinegar, piss, and the dirt Unknown to mankind we roam the earth We’re running down this emptiness, There ain't no time to lay to rest The endeavor lasts with a voice to raise Against this world of balls and chains All hail the tyrant Complicate, fabricate, devastate Maybe we could learn from the dogs

Islands are time, oceans perception In you and me Warlords are primed to render deception Nailed on the pain tree Mirrors and blades and untimely graves In backwards we rise Expose and impale, the great thirst ablaze Bring on the lies Fire is bright, fire is clean Bloodlust receding to no one at all They are your enemies Warnings unheeded, the process to fall Set yourself aflame Gasping and panting our bodies are boiling We’re on our own Transgressions in blendings of water and oil Bow to your pain lord Roaming Crawling Searching Voices are coming from treacherous pasts Wailing and howling at our expense Barren and naked in trances we trust Fires are burning away our glance Burn

Reflections 10:02
Be there Be there for me Even Even in pain Come play me a friend Play me a savior Even We’re even in pain Tethered Tethered to our pasts Changing We’re changing our ways Lacerated souls Strive to shine, not to hide Festering of the neglect And inner plagues coincide Resurrected woes In fists that clutch onto a knife Are trying hard to reflect With both eyes staring at the inside Fighting for the wide world You lost the battle for yourself Licking on the wounds that swell While spirit bends on the floor
5.
You’re trapped in the darkened hues Realms of confusion and abuse Rivers of struggle that pour into you Won’t cleanse the mess they’re flowing through This war you face you’re on your own The fights are lost, the loss has grown And as it unfurls you shiver and shake How much more are you willing to take? Hands, switchblades, and vile vortices When all your sticks have turned to snakes And all your lies have come at stake See my hands grant your doom You can fight back, but it ends too soon Hands, switchblades, and vile vortices And as the day begins to fade and night creeps up on our walls We crawl inside ourselves to witness our true form No remorse is given to anyone in these vortices See your glass, it’s half full of shit Go on and chase that trail, go and climb those heights In the end, the truth prevails, so feast your sunken eyes And as the day begins to fade and night creeps up on our walls We crawl inside ourselves to witness our true form No remorse is given to anyone in these vortices Drink your glass, it’s half full of shit Hands, switchblades, and vile vortices

“The music is plenty heavy, plenty vicious, and a big body-mover — rumbling and jolting and putting a spring-loaded ax to your neck, with a panoply of guttural growls, strangled snarls, and frightening screams adding to the song’s bleak and brutish antagonism.” – NO CLEAN SINGING (on “Hands, Switchblades, and Vile Vortices”)

theobelisk.net/obelisk/2023/08/04/chorosia-stray-dogs-release/
“Taking its basis in a heavy slogging sludge rock informed by death metal and able to establish that kind of declarative presence even before shifting into its speedier midsection. They use the chorus well amid various guitar solos, and if you don’t find the subject matter disturbing, the inability to place Chorosia easily within a given metallic microniche might do the trick. Either way, it’s nasty stuff” – The Obelisk (on “Hands, Switchblades, and Vile Vortices”)

"This may ‘only’ be an EP, but it’s one of the better sludge efforts released in 2023." – Metal Storm Magazine

antichristmagazine.com/review-chorosia-stray-dogs-grazil-records/
"It’s a disturbing release in a good way, because you can’t really get the point – is it plainly traditional or maddeningly experimental, relaxed or intense, brutal or enlightening? But one thing is certain – there’s not even a hint of mainstream or predictability, Stray Dogs just flows with the wind avoiding improvisations, intentionally building those intricate webs of diversity." – Antichrist Magazine

“The band also immerses itself perfectly in slow, post-doom/sludge sounds, as in the track Reflections, which starts off atmospheric soundscapes, with clean vocals, and develops into a doom metal beast with growling vocals and rawest sounds from hell that are out there.” – Monarch Magazine

“Chorosia is a band fluent in chaos” – Toilet ov Hell

“An added draw of Stray Dogs is its willingness to journey beyond the nihilism and misanthropy associated with sludge. Sure, there are blastbeats, death growls, and bass bombs low enough to play my ribcage like a marimba, but stirring in anthemic, playful melodies solidified the record as one I can return to often without slipping into a spiral of negativity.” - Toilet ov Hell (Top Albums of 2023)

“Gerade der eröffnende Titeltrack porträtiert das grimmige und schmutzige Gesicht des Genres ganz gut. Auch kommt hier das progressive Element zum Tragen wie auch ein gewisser Groove.” – Vampster Magazine
