Sepultura: Murder (Arise: 1991)

Sepultura Murder lyrics

Chaotic Violence In My Eyes
This Whole World Moves Backwards
Peace, Another Sign That Lies
Life Today Is Not Worth The Pain
On The Radio, Another Homicide
Inmates Suffocate In Jail
Severed Heads Of Revolt
I Wish I'd Never Been Born

Same Hand That Builds -- Destroys
Same Hand That Relieves -- Betrays
Same Hand That Seeds -- Burns
Same Peace That Exists -- Here Lies

I Can't Trust Anymore
Criminals Within The Law
I Have Something To Say
Where I Live, Don't Believe In Another Day
Heresy And Graft
Apartheid
Same Religion That Saves -- Damns You!

Music Video: "Ministry: Lieslieslies"

With the turmoil of our western democratic system, industrial metal legends "Ministry" have come forth with a smack in the face of George W with their politically charged (and appropriately titled ) "Lieslieslies" track, from the 2006 release "Rio Grande Blood".

This is their second most current release and some of their most political work to date. Their latest on the other hand, "The Last Sucker", continues this deeply political vibe, with an even more pissed off sound! It is said to be Ministry's last album of original material by founding member Al Jourgensen, sighting that 20 + years the band has run its course. I digress a little. Just enjoy the track and feel the anger.

*Extra: Lyrics added below clip. Words of beauty arn't they!

(Stay tuned for a full review of the album coming soon!).

Lies Lies Lies

"Gentlemen we have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government
Do you still think that jet fuel brought down the World Trade Center?
[Laughter]
Does anybody else see a problem here?
If the government has nothing to hide why are they so afraid to answer a few questions?
This story does not add up

[Verse 1]
I'm on a mission to never forget
3,000 people that I've never met
We want some answers and all that we get
Some kind of shit about a terrorist threat
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies

[Verse 2]
I'm on a mission to dig up the truth
You think we're stupid and there's no proof
Well let me tell you that the time has come
To pull the trigger on the smoking gun
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Lies Lies Lies Lies

America has been hijacked
Not by Al Qaeda, not by Bin Laden
But by a group of tyrants
That should be of great concern to all Americans

[Verse 3]
I'm on a mission to bring out the facts
You got your stories but they all have cracks
Misinformation, lies and deceit
What made you think that we were all asleep
Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies [x3]
Surprise surprise

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Chorus]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Don't listen
Don't listen to anything, they've said
Don't listen

Lies Lies Lies Lies

[Outro Chorus:]
Don't listen to me listen to your head
Lies Lies Lies Lies"

Classic Music Review: Fear Factory - Demanufacture

Demanufacture is an old album by any standard, being released way back before the turn of the century in 1995. Despite its ripe old age, this is definately no fermenting aging release, sounding absolutely as fresh today and as poignant as ever. This is Fear Factory's absolute must have. It is best described as a concept album of fast technical "cybermetal" (industrial infused thrash / speed metal) with lyrics inspired by mans symbiosis with the machine and enduring of a dystopian society. Grinding distorted guitars, plenty of double kick drumming in time with the lead guitarist's strumming / plucking, alternating raspy & harmonising singing & frequent electronic samples are all served piping hot in a big fat serving just right for auditory ingestion.
Years ahead of their time and absolute pioneers of the modern metal scene. They haven't become one of my downright favourite bands for no reason. This is the album that started it all for me and put Fear Factory on the metal map as a force to be reckoned with, let it do the same for you.
