1.
Ground into dirt A gift passed down Through generations Human waste from Europe Sent to a "new world" Your founding fathers Believed you were scum Wrote the laws To hold you down Accumulation of privileges Rolling over poverty Riding waves of self destructive behaviour Waves of desperation in a global under class Can't afford to wait for a good deal Can't afford the fine or legal cost Can't afford to study Can't afford to hold out for another dollar a day
2.
We devolve We stare at ourselves And see nothing No meaning No transcendence Relative merit Relative suffering A meritocracy To the privileged class Democracy Becomes oligarchy Revolutionary Become tyrant
3.
You exist but can't transcend Like a cage outside time Who misses you? Who have you missed? Everyone fucks up but you got caught Third striek you're out Taken out of life Out of all you love For stealing a fucking chocolate bar You now exist in jail
4.
Groupthink 02:56
Milieu tells me who I am and what I want Vacant eyes and polite lies get me everywhere I'm not a threat the signs would say But I have no conscience, no internal monologue "The group is right The stakes are low" Thus spake the clone A rapist and a leech But his friends say it's cool So he never questions it Comfortable inside the box it's like the womb Comfortable exploiting people it's like a game I don't need to think for myself There's ready made self image in what I consume
5.
News tells us exceptions Millions of people without a fortune But one stole a car Billions of muslims But one set off a bomb No one cares for the bigger picture We turn the cheek when they hit us "that's just how life is" Hit the students, hit your kids, hit your friends But the rich are doing fine They buy the ads They buy the news Just to feed you impressions That you'll never think through They have bought you But you don't care enough to realise
6.
Burning No options How many Locked in Government gave you a place to live You should be thankful for the hand out I'm told Thank the underfunding That cremated you alive Grenfell Tower Grenfell Tower Decades of lies to shirk your responsibility All we see is money not peoples lives How do we treat those in need? How do corporate rich excuse their greed? What social contract? What social contract?

about

Defenestration are born of members from the likes of Black Jesus, Dead Root, Drain Life, Carcosa and Wrong amongst others. With this assortment of people you can be assured the sound is extreme and underground, old school death metal influenced heavily by early Autopsy and Death releases without becoming a clone.

The band contrasts well across all fronts, never sitting on any riff for too long but knowing when to let something settle in, the drums pushed heavily to the front of the mix pushing out explosive low end, backed with personal and socio political lyrics filtered through utterly disgusting yet crisp vocals from Ben and Crispin.

A must for the new age of Australian death metal.
Cassette out Feb 2018.
