"Of Vengeance and Violence" is their third full-length album. It was released on September 19, 2006 through "Repossession Records". The international version was released by SPV Records. The album was leaked onto the Internet on August 22, 2006, almost a month before its official release date.
The lead singer, Cliff Rigano, has at one time said that the band will never "jump on the metalcore bandwagon" referering to the rise of metalcore music during 2000 nu metal album with a few nods to other genres, while the second album, with a new guitarist, explored different metal styles a little more. Their use at regular intervals of metal techniques, such as causing the guitar to "squeal" explains people's habit of calling them a metalcore band.

Dry Kill Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really really want to see you die.
Everything I want I can't have if left up to me
Un-af-fec-ted
By all the bullshit you cause
Un-pro-tec-ted
Vi-o-lat-ed
You must think that we don't see this
Dis-re-spec-ted
Just remember it's our ass you kiss
Rot.
You don't like me, I hope you
Rot.
Un-jus-ti-fied
You keep fucking with us; we are
Hos-tile-in-side
We consider you a joke it's
Hate-mag-nif-ied
Soon you'll think that we don't see this
Strip-down-your-pride
Soon you'll feel the force of all of us
Rot.
You don't like me, I hope you
Rot.
I don't like you
Can't you see this?
Why won't you
Leave me alone?
The lyrics of Dry Kill Logic's "Rot" depict a deep-seated hatred towards an unknown figure. The opening line, "Everything I need is not really what I want," portrays a sense of dissatisfaction with the subject's current situation. The next line, "I really really want to see you die," introduces violent imagery and anger, highlighting the intensity of the singer's emotions. The third line, "Everything I want I can't have if left up to me," suggests a lack of control and powerlessness that further fuels the singer's rage.
The following stanza emphasizes the subject's negative qualities, portraying them as a source of inconvenience and annoyance for the singer. The repetition of words like "unaffected" and "disrespected" creates a sense of frustration and an unwillingness to tolerate the subject's behavior any longer. The chorus, "Rot. You don't like me, I hope you Rot," reflects the singer's desire for revenge and emphasizes the subject's worthlessness in the eyes of the singer.
The final stanza highlights the growing hostility and hatred towards the subject, with words like "unjustified," "hostile," and "hate-magnified." The lines "Strip-down-your-pride/ Soon you'll feel the force of all of us" suggest that the singer's anger is not limited to just themselves but is shared by others, hinting towards a possible uprising against the subject.
Overall, Dry Kill Logic's "Rot" portrays deep-seated emotions of hatred, anger, and dissatisfaction towards an unknown figure. The song's intense lyrics are delivered with a growling vocal that perfectly complements the heavy guitar riff and the thumping drums.

Dallas Risen
These guys are probably one of the most under rated bands ever.
Ayy-Lec
Dallas Risen not probably, they are
D
Dallas Risen i heard of them because i had outgrown slipknot (they had just made Iowa) and i had read it was similar. Which, not really. I dont know what to actually compare this band to, theyre kind of their own thing. Maybe Nothingface a little bit. But still not really. Though they were considered the same category or whatever, whatever the hell that means.
