Machine Hell 02:02
There are those that never know freedom Outside of metal walls We a parasite breed them for murder They die in machine hell Who are you to cause their death? Could you slit their throat yourself? Beaten bodies, cries of torment They’re huddled in misery Painful lives ended in violence They die in machine hell Who are you to cause their death? You’d drown in the blood you’ve drunk They’re cold and alone Waiting for the killing blow Metal walls echo with the sound Of their mothers deaths, blood pours out The greed of man, knows no bounds Ain’t got a conscience Their death ain’t quiet Twisted torsos full of pain Dragged to machine hell Hear the cries of machine hell Breath only to give, their bodies as meat This slaughters for you, slaughtered for you.

Who dies if England lives? Peace made with blood We walk to our destiny Over rows of dead like paving slabs Skies drone grey There’s blood on everything Friends of death come marching Britannia wants her pound of flesh We come for peace we cum and piss Britannia won’t be stopped Harming army here it comes Blind animal Fighting and fucking To give you a one winged dove of freedom Justice died a million times Rape the people rape the land People go to death as we go to sleep Harming army here it comes to help you help itself They keep moving forward for life and it’s removal Who dies if England lives…

Vulturemen 03:03
Days of the Vulturemen Showing the blood on their hands The consequence of death From their destruction To shove it down your throat It’s a snuff film They placate us with death Lullabies of misery to lull us to sleep Forget about the past Forget about the lies Forget about those compelled to kill Living in a world with god Living in a world with murder Living in a world with evil bastards who are always wanting more More money, more war They strip the world and sell its skin Victims voiceless on a screen And we pay them with pity When it was done in our name Living in a world with greed Living in a world with law Living in a world with evil bastards who are always wanting more More money, more blood, more war They wring their hands till their red in the face Don’t show their bombs just the blood on the floor We eat the sadness maggots on a corpse The world it rots and we watch

Finish 01:54
Trying to get away But there’s nowhere to run Head bouncing off the wall I want annihilation Whole worlds an abattoir Fighting and suffering have all been for nothing Your pain is a dustbin they put your life in Trying to rise Want is a burden, I want to be free Dreams like a swinging brick coming back at me Still empty But Trying to rise But the only joy that can be found is Joy in pain, joy in self destruction Letting out a pint of blood And laughing Where true peace? Where true worth? Poisoned everything Whole worlds an abattoir The same walls that hug you watch you die World is there But they can take it If I could have anything I want annihilation

Abattoir 03:50
Are we the free people? Who hang by poison threads Engines of domination Kill ourselves to satisfy them They lead us to murder They want us to forget our hunger They want to be god Look down on suffering Our freedom is theirs We’re strung up like a puppet Hanging by a thread We’re their puppets Life like a purgatory We’re pigs in their factory Cultivated our submission Our bodies are their meat They want us dependant They want us to fear our freedom They want to be god To let them is our sin Our freedom is theirs We’re strung up like a puppet Hanging by a thread We’re their puppets Recognise your enemy The evil that they beget Bite the hand that’s never fed We must cut the threads

Man murdered by society Feel like dirt when you’re trying to be clean Booze can’t dull the misery Is that laughter? Die on the Ash ward Down in the pit with the hammer to your head Hurt yourself before they can They throw out help like poison to rats Evil inside Nothing good can survive It dies Can’t live can’t die and serves you right Pills pile by the bedside Evil inside Nothing good can survive It dies Pools of blood and pools of piss Take the medicine Help yourself Evil inside Nothing good can survive It dies Man murdered by society Can’t live can’t die and you can try Pools of blood and pools of piss Is that laughter are they laughing again?
7.
Another war Like the rest Try and separate from Satan But grow Satan’s heart in your chest Is it worth making hell for an unknown heaven? There’s no return from slaughters door We have to face the grave they’ve grown More bodies for the morgue By children of god for children of god Their saviour is violence Visions of hell in a rush for salvation Burnt remains their gift to god Try and separate from Satan But grow Satan’s heart in their chest Is it worth making hell for an unreal heaven Hatred spreads over the land Nothing grows but the viciousness of man Can we continue without hope? A future of death not a future of life We’ll be jealous of the dead
8.
.Tied to a system that’s dead Tied to a system that’ll cut you to pieces Do you trust them with your life? They look at poverty and say it could be worse Nothing that they Can’t take away We deserve anarchy now Trod down so long Country like a drowning man Gasping for air A dead tree gives no shelter Their crisis of excess In a crisis of need We deserve anarchy now To hurt you is their plan We reap the poison they sow Empty words empty actions Only the street is waiting for you Destroy all life Expect us to pay We deserve anarchy now

about

MUS295 SUBDUED - Abattoir LP

“London’s Subdued return with an even darker statement of purpose on their uncompromising second LP “Abattoir.” 8 tracks of anarcho punk that threads different UK underground traditions—descending like a dense fog of grief and anger to block out the light. Fans of Subdued will find an old friend in the galloping toms, the snide and articulate hopelessness of Jack’s lyricism, the spider-webbed guitar-work, the bass like a blunt instrument. But this record has embraced a new level of mystical antagonism towards the everyday world, towards England, towards post-industrial society, towards hell itself, that it necessitates a new kind of songwriting. The tracks are oblique and embrace emotional fragmentation. The guitars are bathed in moonlight, stunning in their evocation of darkness, the drums are somehow more frenetic, and more introspective in their varied pacing. These songs poke at the possibility of salvation, but walk away from the table, leaving a cool presence in their wake like a ghost. And here the band’s risks are equal to the reward. Like their compatriots Exit Stance, or Amebix, Subdued has crafted a timeless record, aggravating in the shadows, psychedelic with despair, one foot in the grave.”
