An explosively passionate ETH are currently recording new material to follow up last years debut album "For Life, 'Til Death, To Hell, With Love." What was to become an E.P. entitled "Fighters Trust" seems to develop into an album instead.
"Now that we're back on track stronger and hungrier than ever after last years drama, we wanted to channel the energy, hit the studio and produce something for ourselves and our beloved family of supporters. We didn't wanna look over our shoulders, asking the label for money or check schedules with A&R's and producers. So we decided to trust our instinct and go at it alone. At first the E.P-format seemed inspiring and graspable. It was gonna go fast and be easy. But as soon as we started recording we realized there was a whole lot more suppressed energy waiting to be unleashed on tape than we expected. Suddenly there was the opportunity to just shoot straight ahead, charge down the fast lane and stop for nothing until we suddenly got ourselves a full length follow up. So we kicked back, reevaluated the situation and thought... Ok, while we're at it we might as well go all the way, do it thoroughly and work 'til we drop..."
FIGHTERS
Enter The Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Five more left to go
Five more left to go
Look I told you so
We never stop
If we said that
We'll back it up
For sure
We're fighters
We won't back down
Stay true to the core
Stay true to the core
If you fear the heat
You best be leavin'
You gotta stand back
If you don't love the beating
For me and my crew
Don't play for keeps
We blow up
And clear the streets
We're fighters
These lyrics from Enter The Hunt's song "Fighters" are all about resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The first line "One man down, five more left to go" suggests that the "fighters" have already faced some kind of challenge or setback, but they are refusing to give up. Instead, they are focused on the fact that they still have five more people standing and they are determined to keep going. The repetition of "five more left to go" emphasizes that they see themselves as part of a team, and they are all in this fight together.
The next few lines ("Look I told you so / We never stop / If we said that we'll back it up / For sure") suggest that the singer is addressing someone who doubted their ability to keep going. They are essentially saying "I told you we wouldn't give up, and we're going to prove it." The phrase "we'll back it up" implies that they are willing to take action to prove themselves, and they have confidence in their ability to do so.
The chorus reinforces this message of determination and strength. "We won't back down / Stay true to the core" suggests that the fighters are staying true to their values and beliefs, even when things get tough. The line "If you fear the heat / You best be leaving" suggests that they are prepared to face whatever challenges come their way, and they won't tolerate anyone who isn't willing to do the same. The final lines ("We blow up / And clear the streets / We're fighters") are a declaration of their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. They are "fighters" who will not be defeated.

Same here. As soon as I heard the lyrics I was like "This has to be a cover" lol. Honestly thought it would be some older punk/thrash song that I'd never heard of I didn't expect the original to be so recent. Definitely good though.
