Their debut album "Surpassing The Boundaries of Human Suffering" was released in June 2009 and received critical acclaim from magazines such as Terrorizer (8.5/10), Metal Hammer (8/10) and Kerrang! (4/5). Following the Summer release of their album, Ingested were chosen to open up the 2010 Bonecrusher European tour, headlined by US heavyweights The Black Dahlia Murder and featuring The Faceless, Carnifex and more.
Known for a vicious live show, Ingested's skull crushing mix of death metal blastbeats and hardcore breakdowns will bulldoze you violently into the ground and leave you in a crumpled heap asking for more. With appearances at Mountains of Death and Ghostfest under their belt, and support slots with bands such as Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Suffocation and many more, Ingested will be rolling out on Siege Of Amida Records' "NoTOURious" 2011 European tour with labelmates Martyr Defiled and Annotations Of An Autopsy in the Summer.
After spending most of 2010 writing the follow-up to "Surpassing The Boundaries of Human Suffering" Ingested are back in 2011 with "The Surreption" mixed and mastered by Mick Kenney (Bleeding Through, Anaal Nathrakh), this is a heavier, more mature and undoubtedly darker offering from the northern slam kings.

Ingested Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll die with them if you think you're gonna stop us.
Claim my crown from this weak controller,
Your reign's over, it's game over.
These words will stand the test of time,
I'll be remembered, long after you're gone.
I refuse to walk the line,
You'll be dismembered, six feet under the ground.
I am everything, and you are nothing.
I'll watch you fail while you try to be something.
Light the fuse and the ignition,
Eliminate the competition,
Battered beaten to submission,
Decomposition.
You will see my true ambition,
When you hear my composition,
This is now a demolition,
Redefinition.
You think I'll watch when you take my crown?
You think I'll sink when you want me to drown?
Pretenders, to the throne,
And I'll still be King when you're dust and you're bones.
Bloated, sitting on a throne of false promises,
Your reign is done, its been way too long,
You didn't want this, you didn't plan for this,
But you fucking deserve it.
Once more into the breach my friends,
Once more, into the breach,
Prepare to meet your ends,
I don't think, I just do it.
Your rule is contested, you're fake and infested, no one will mourn when your soul is Ingested,
Don't test this, 'cos I am more than you could ever be,
You'd need an army of a million just to stop me.
Violence, the only way I can communicate, you take my crown I'll take it back when I decapitate.
Nothing left to say.
This is now a Regicide.
Actions over words.
We will overcome this.
Stranglehold releasing.
You've become what I despise.
Eliminate authority.
Dethrone your lies, feeding bullshit.
Purify, all your filthy falsehood.
Dealt our hand, left to struggle
Bend the lines, crush these fucking shackles.
Overkill, I'll make a statement when I draw my knife, erased from history erased from life.
The lyrics to Ingested's song Regicide are a scathing critique of corrupt authority figures who have held onto power for too long. The singer of the song speaks with confidence and conviction, declaring that they will not tolerate the weak and incompetent leaders who have let society slide into chaos. They proclaim that they are everything and the old guard is nothing, promising to watch them fail as they try to cling to their throne. The singer expresses a willingness to use violence to achieve their aims, highlighting the dangerous and bloody nature of the power struggles that define politics and leadership.
As the lyrics progress, the singer becomes more forceful and even quasi-messianic, seeming to suggest that they alone are capable of leading society out of its malaise. They paint a picture of themselves as a conqueror, one who will eliminate the competition and rise to the top of the heap, crushing their enemies in the process. Even as they do so, however, the singer acknowledges the difficulty of the task ahead, acknowledging that they will need to "bend the lines" and "crush these fucking shackles" in order to achieve victory.
In summary, the lyrics to Regicide are an indictment of corrupt leadership and an appeal to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. They speak to a deep frustration with the status quo and a desire to see meaningful change in the world, even if it requires overthrowing the old order by force.
