In 2006 they signed to 12 Gauge records and released a split album with War From a Harlot's Mouth which utilized the heaviness and syncopated structure of grindcore and coupled that with their clear Death Metal savvy.
In 2008 they released a self-titled album (Molotov Solutionwith a more straight forward, groove oriented approach:
"Molotov Solution's latest release is a big step forward for the band, a much more groove-oriented affair that sees the group toning down the grindcore influences once prominent in their sound for a much more immediate, focused attack."
"I was kind of tired of writing riff after riff after riff, not really repeating anything," Pina says, flanked by heavily tattooed new guitarist Joe Brady, who boasts more ink than "War and Peace." "I wanted to make very solid songs and make things distinguishable on the album.""

Molotov Solution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If unquestioned faith is slavery; then we are all slaves to the monetary system, and the dollar is our shackles
In God We Trust
Physical slavery requires people to be housed and fed.
Economic slavery requires people to feed and
House themselves constant inflation, devaluing the dollar while destroying our lives, the erosion of sustenance.
Guaranteed by the weakness of mankind, we're all robbed blind by a system that doesn't care.
Enslaved by your fear, by your fear, by your unquestioned faith because for you it is easy to obey.
You lived your life like a slave, you dug your own grave
Welcome to your grave
Welcome to your grave
If unquestioned faith is slavery; then we are all slaves to the monetary system, and the dollar is our shackles
In God We Trust
"It is as international as murder, as greed for power, as injustice, as madness
In our time these horrors are translated into political and cultural actuality..."
Impairment of virtue and morality; the corruption of luxury among the moral majority
Get on your knees and beg! Through fear there is no salvation
Get on your knees and beg! Through fear there is no salvation
Get on your knees and fucking beg!
The song "Enslaved" by Molotov Solution is a commentary on the idea that unquestioned faith can lead to enslavement. The lyrics question our blind obedience to various systems, including the monetary system that we all depend on. The song suggests that we are all slaves to the economic system, which forces us to feed and house ourselves in a world of constant inflation and devaluing dollars. The weakness of humans allows the system to rob us blind, without remorse. The song warns against blind faith and urges the listener to be more critical of authority and the systems they enforce.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Welcome to your grave", suggesting that those who blindly follow are doomed to a life of servitude and will eventually dig their own grave. The lyrics also point to corruption and the erosion of morality within society. The line "Impairment of virtue and morality; the corruption of luxury among the moral majority" highlights the idea that even those who are supposed to uphold moral values can become corrupt.
The song ends with an aggressive call to action, urging the listener to reject fear and to fight against enslavement. The repeated lines "Get on your knees and beg! Through fear there is no salvation" and "Get on your knees and fucking beg!" suggest that the only way to break free from enslavement is through rebellion and resistance.
