💀 AUGUST "LYNK" TAYLOR 💀

1. HYPNOSIS BY SLEEP TOKEN

And you make it more (you know you hypnotize me always) Than I (you know you hypnotize me always) Could ever feel (you know you hypnotize me always) Before (you know you hypnotize me always)

My main inspo for Lynk came with this song, I had it on repeat for days. At first, it was just for the vibes but now it's the backtrack for a dark part of their backstory. An era of their life plagued by a toxic relationship that changed them irrevocably.

2. SPIRITS BY NOTHING MORE

Lie down, come to Spirits come through Swim up to my head Make old things new It's a little bit heavenly A little bit sick

Another song that I had on repeat, this one is just purely vibes. It served as the backbone for their band's sound, melodic dark vocals mixed with hard breakdowns and growls.

3. LANDMINE BY POLARIS

No restitution, until you understand This world that left you cold Will feed you shit 'til you bite the fucking hand

Lynk is an anarchist and an activist and a lot of their music reflects that. They want their songs to inspire righteous fury and change not stagnation and self pity.

4. CROOKED BY DEALER

And after all these years, life might be rich But in this dog eat dog world You're still the fucking bitch

Every metalcore band has got a few edgy songs and Lynk's is no exception. When they were first starting out they were full of teen angst and following in the mold of their favorite bands. This meant lots of hard breakdowns and screaming meaninglessly at the world.

5. ALKALINE BY SLEEP TOKEN

I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire

Another love song, this time with a happier ending. After swearing off love Lynk finds themself catching feeling for a certain someone. It's the slowest of burns but in the end, they're bonded in a way they could never replicate.
