This track is a study of characters with a lack of empathy and spirituality, in the end leading to apathy for existence. 'Mono-consciousness' is a beast that lurks inside, and needs to be hunted before it takes control of of us."- Mark Boniface (singer/guitarist) &nbsp;</p> <p>What others have said about Harker:&nbsp;</p> <p>"...the first great punk record of 2018.."- Alreadyheard&nbsp;</p> <p>It’s a punk thriller.
