Formed in 1985, they are one of the key early UK grindcore bands and are still together today with vocalist Dean Jones as the only original member.

Notable for their use of dual vocalists and for recording a number of sessions for BBC Radio 1 DJ John peel, Extreme Noise Terror (often abbreviated to ENT) initially started as a hardcore punk band. It became quickly evident from early shows that they were far more extreme than many bands of that genre. Together with Napalm Death, ENT helped characterise the early, archetypal grindcore sound: Fiercely political lyrics, grinding guitars, extremely fast tempo and often very short songs.

Extreme Noise Terror Lyrics

450 millions animal are murdered in Britain every year
To be shoved down your throat and shat out of your arse

Murdaaaargh

450 millions animal are murdered in Britain every year
To be shoved down your throat and shat out of your arse
Animals to be killed for pleasure

Murdered at the consumers leisure
Slaughtered for meat in their fucking abattoirs

Murdaaaargh

Pneumatic bolt shot deep in the head
Splittering bones and gushing blood
Yet you still support this insane slaughter

Brainwashing adverts on T.V.
Cover up the reality and never shown the pain and torture

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Extreme Noise Terror's "Murder" address the issue of animal cruelty and the mass killing of animals for the human consumption of meat. The opening line "450 millions animal are murdered in Britain every year" explicitly reveals the staggering number of animals killed within the UK in a single year. The lyrics argue that this is not only unnecessary but also unethical– "To be shoved down your throat and shat out of your arse." The repetition of the word "Murdaaaargh" emphasizes the anger and disgust felt towards the slaughter of animals.

The social commentary continues, pointing out that animals are killed for human pleasure and luxury, driven by consumer desire. The verse "Slaughtered for meat in their fucking abattoirs" highlights the inhumane conditions in which animals are killed to become meat products. The use of the word "fucking" suggests the contempt felt for these institutions, and the sense of betrayal from these organizations that prioritize profits over ethics.

The section "Pneumatic bolt shot deep in the head, Splittering bones and gushing blood" provides a graphic description of the reality of commercial meat production, exposing the violence that is hidden from consumers. The lyrics suggest that companies use propaganda and advertisements to mislead the public, concealing the cruelty toward animals. The song ultimately condemns the practice of animal murder, declaring it insane and brainwashing.

This is my phone's ring tone,
I get some funny fucking looks in Germany when it rings.
It doesn't help that I look criminally insane.
Regardless I always smile when my phone rings,so fuck em!
