The vacant throne, deceiving
Lemmings tow the line
Conclaves left to seethe
Drinking deep their tainted wine
They reek of dread
Their ledgers dripping red
Ever set on the path of envy
Nether-Realm with no tears shed
They wouldn’t lie to you
Only they know the truth
Feed your neighbor to the meat grinder
If they were pure the steel would stall
Relish their screams of anguish
As their transgression vanquished
And take your place amongst the thralls
Abject apathy for the ones who should not be
Dehumanization does not apply to the enemy
Paragons of old, there is no doubt they stow
Some secret vile scripts, only our lathe can fix
They wouldn’t lie to you
Only they know the truth
Feed your neighbor to the meat grinder
Had they been pure the steel would stall
Relish their screams of anguish
As their transgression vanquished
And take your place amongst the thralls
Another gone,
No one objects
The noose is taut
Now who is next?
Who is next
It could be you it could be me
A modern crucible of enmity
They wouldn’t lie to you
Only they know the truth
Feed your neighbor to the meat grinder
Had they been pure the steel would stall
Relish their screams of anguish
As their transgression vanquished
And take your place amongst the thralls
Behold, the Modern Meat Grinder
A sin means death no matter how small
Just hope in throes of bloodshed
You won’t be chosen instead
No blending in amongst the thralls
Another gone,
No one objects
The noose is taut
Now who is next?

The production on this album is surprisingly awful. Exocrine is an extraordinary band, but I never would have picked this up outside of a label sub. Maelstrom would be another masterpiece if it didn’t have lawn sprinklers going off throughout every track. Thankfully they didn’t make the same mistakes again. Metallurgical Fire

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
