Abolish ICE

By scottux on January 11, 2026 11:50 pm

Motivational WeeklyBeats Guy will return another week, don't worry.

Some blood-boil music to match my reaction to this week. I'm incensed by the murder itself, but the denial, monstrous lies, and posthumous vilification of an innocent woman have calcified these feelings in my heart again. I will be honest, I don't exactly like this simmering violent thirst that wells within me. It feels "justified", but violent thought takes up space in the mind and sometimes that space feels like it could be used for positive action if it wasn't occupied by impotent bloody daydreams. And something in me also recognizes that this impulse is, stripped of its context and my own justifications, down to its emotional core, not terribly dissimilar to what I imagine fuels the hearts of the violent fascists who want to see this happen again. Fear, hate, and the comfort of giving in to one of our basest instincts in response.

To be clear, I do not see myself in Jonathan Ross or these other cowards who hide their face as they terrorize our country. They are mad and afraid for stupid, selfish reasons built on decades of lies, and their inability and unwillingness to understand someone different from them would be pitiable if it didn't have the power of the state behind it.

The anger I feel is real and justified, as is this fear. But anger is only the loudest feeling in a very jumbled bunch. And if I can't turn the anger into positive action, I might want to listen to some of the quieter feelings instead.

But I cannot be perfect every day, and for this reason I made something that reminds me of Hotline Miami's gleeful violence. I will think positively another day.

I'm with ya bud. I couldn't help but take a look on facebook earlier today and it was incredibly disheartening to see people justifying the murder. And not just seeing the justify it, but the sheer number of people doing so. I feel anger and want to engage (and I used to do that a lot in years past), then I think about how futile it is and then it makes me depressed. Shit, I feel like I'm becoming numb and apathetic to the horrors that are commonplace in this country, which is fucked up. I was also working on a song this week trying to put my feelings into words but I need to stew on it a bit more because I want to try to say something meaningful. But maybe I should take a page out of your book and write something fucking angry.

All that stuff aside though, definitely a great track. It certainly has Hotline Miami energy and, shit, bashing in the faces of some sprites does sound kind of therapeutic right now.

That tape saturation to break things up is a nice touch! Ending of the song fucking slams.

Fuck yes. Track is amazing and the title is perfect. And JFC that slowdown at the end.

Burn it all down. This is the soundtrack.

Fuck yes. This is so good. Music to burn down monuments to.

An appropriate reaction to *gestures broadly* this is a certified banger and fuck ICE

10 Megaton tempo drop to heavy STOMP!  Fuck yes, and Fuck ICE.

Perfect. Has that undescribable "music to bat assholes in the face to" quality that is ever so fleeting.
Joking aside, I am totally with you regarding having those feelings of wishing violence upon the hateful pieces of shit who terrorize families for the "crime" of being slightly different. And I know that giving into the violence is exactly what these ghouls want so they can be allowed even more justification and given more legal leeway to do atrocities. But yeah, while I want to be above these carnal feelings, I admit that I'm still human and when I see these bastards hurting people like this, my gut reaction is that I wish there were others doing exactly the same thing to them and their families.
But since wishing violence upon people isn't going to accomplish anything, I'll go the political route and support the push to abolish the unholy fucking dumpster fire full of hateful ghouls that is ICE.

i wasn't ready for this just as i was heading to bed! inspiringly crunchy and love the acid stuff. and i hear you on the inspiration behind this, its very depressing.

Nice drive!

I was hooked at first bass line, then you keep this interesting with all the synths.

Well played!

Hell yais feel that dark synth vibe from the start! Sick bass and love those flared out synths.  The 303 lead is extra nice!  Agree with you and feeling that anger gloriously in this track.  \m/

I love this. It's dark and relentless, sounds amazing, and I hope this is the soundtrack all the ICE members hear in their nightmares about getting found out and prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.

I favorited this song before hitting "Play".

Wish I knew what to say - I'm progressively more and more distressed these days and almost at a loss for words entirely sometimes. At times like that, tracks like this are cathartic, and this one definitely roars with some much needed defiant energy. Take care, and hang in there.

Well written sir.  And as you implied, vengeance is too often substituted for justice; and unprocessed, and fettered anger has never (in my experience of it) lead to less suffering in the world.  But that also doesn't mean we can't be incensed about absolutely unmitigated bullshit... and sometimes you just gotta make some loud sounds about it.  And these sounds... these are the sounds. 

Fuck yeah.

Fuck ICE and the administration. Couldn't agree more with the title. Blood Boiling track for a blood boiling time in America. Hit the nail on the head.

strong beat. sorry about what happened. really fuckin tough out there.

ice are the scum of the US, many of them would not find work at a reputable company. too many white supremacists and maga zombies. this track is good! and reminds me to keep up the good fight.
