ThouShaltNot's moody and kinetic music defies comparison; blending postpunk, electronic, and goth styles, the three-piece band is epic and refined in their sound, but retains an emotional rawness and a sensitivity of songcraft.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AmG My reaction, my response Am I'm a function in need of x G Ask me questions and I reply F I'm never first but I'm always next Am And we stare in our eyes F Never blinking and going dry Am Do you care more than I F Who will get the last word? Am And if we trace back the time F Who began with the first line? E7 In any case it's not mine Am Because these days I can only react
Chorus:
AmFC I'll never speak without your lead GAm And I'm your shadow; I react FC I'll be the gear between your teeth GAm When you're spinning, I react FC You are the neutron at lightspeed GAm Spring me open, I react FC But can I find the zero point I need? GAm Can I change it all and then take it back?
It's so easy to shrink an inch Or is this room growing even more? And it's so easy to light a match When you've been burned once or twice before And when I swing blind in rage I'm in search of the first page And when I sing from the stage Who will get the last word? You're the one who creates All to which I retaliate But can I ever navigate Another path than to react?
Chorus
AmFC I'll find where aggression hides away GAm Where my own two hands hold sway FC It's a bright and beautiful new day GAm I will act, I will act F Your reaction, your relapse C Out of love will grow collapse G Something somewhere finally snaps Am And I will act, I will act
