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 ↴
This is not the dream that you had once believed.
They have forced their hand and taken everything.
For what is a dream, but a fictitious reality?
A global nightmare fraying at the seams.
We spend our lives living off the benefits of their crimes and lies.
Permanent sleep blinds our eyes, and leaves our people paralyzed.
Your eyes are open, but you’re not awake.
We lie unbroken in their wake.
We stand for truth, The American Dream.
They destroy truth, that’s The American Way.
We stand for everything that you want to believe.
Perpetual darkness and suffering you can’t conceive.
Sickened by the thought of reality, in this nightmare you’ll find your mortality.
We do not fear you, we are not afraid.
We’d rather die fighting you than living as your slave.
Rise!
We do not fear you, we are not afraid.
The future’s controlled by you, not lying in our grave.
Rise!
From this nightmare, we must awaken.
Take back our lives that they have taken.
Rise!
We must awaken.
Take back our lives that they have taken.
Rise!
We must awaken.
Take back our lives that they have taken.
Can you sleep at night?
Do you pray in fear by your bedside?
No longer will we crumble under your weight; it’s time to pay for your mistakes.
Can you sleep at night?
Do you pray in fear by your bedside?
No longer will we crumble under your weight; it’s time to pay for your mistakes.
We have set ourselves free.
We will create our own dream.
We have set ourselves free.
We will create a living dream.
