Beast of avarice
Sleeps within heart of man
Enthralls him to his own greed
It's what looks you in the eyes and says
We can't feed you while buying bombs
Ceaseless churning
The war machine
Countless children
Burned alive
Human failings
Laid so bare
Still we go on
Desensitised
Arms race to the death
Millions to a savage end
Killed without a hint of guilt
Industrialised!
Ghouls clad in human skin
Systems power rigged to win
All complacent in this sin
Exploitation!
As we starve and freeze like rats
They are just getting fat
Guillotine will soon sort that
Revolution!
Claiming ours by right of knife
Time is now to make it right
Bloodshed cures hate and strife
Exulatation!
Beg the mob
To spare you
Hungry eyes gleam
Through
The Dark
Even now the bombs still fall
Nike's fucking beck and call
War is waged towards no end
Industrialised!
Human lives are cast aside
Millions die so profits rise
War is code for genocide
Explotiation!
Gunshots to the head
As the lucky ones are dead
Torture racks for the rest
Revolution!
Time is now to make your stand
Will you fight or will you bend
Warmongers meet their end
Exultation!
Beg the mob
To spare you
Hungry eyes gleam
Through
The Dark
Final days
Of our time here
Fatal way
We show kindness
Curtain drops
On the last act
Silence falls
No one learned shit
End wars
End systems
End slaughters
Enforced by force
From the depths of the Irish underground comes Fatal Torture, a new project from prolific anonymous musician Serpent Temptation. Influenced by classic death/thrash hybrid acts like Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint and Incubus/Opprobrium, with shades of English Dogs and Voivod in their thrashiest moments, Fatal Torture delivers on the promise of twisting, chaotic metal with Hardcore influence. On debut EP Savage Depths of Hell, Serpent Temptation delivers anarchistic political screeds over a thrash metal base. On “Systems of Violence” Fatal Torture links throat-shredding, mid-paced death metal with thrash gang vocals and headbanger riffs. Other songs, like Realisation Denied, are rawer in their execution, bringing to mind thoughts of butchery and police executions. “Savage Depths of Hell is the kind of twisting, ADHD chaos structured, madness that draws me to thrash” explains Serpent Temptation. “No filler, a few samples for flavour, lots of mosh parts.” Mixed and mastered by Andrew Lee (Ripped to Shreds, Skullsmasher, Draghkar), Savage Depths of Hell is a 3-track EP for the purists who like a fresh sound in an old style.

It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas. Sælzer Bub

Intense from start to finish, there's a lot of 'blink-and-youll-miss-it' moments throughout the album of standout riffs. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

Scottish Blackened Death Metal with a little Thrash thrown in. The riffs, the oh so dark atmosphere, the entire album is in your face & unrelenting & I love it! Highly recommended! bmurator
