1. Monstrosit… Read Full Bio ↴There are three artists going by the name Monstrosity:
1. Monstrosity is a Floridian Death Metal band from the USA. The band formed in 1990 by Lee Harrison (drummer) and George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, vocalist.
One of the first innovative bands to arise from the Florida-Death-Metal scene. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher performed vocal duties in this band before joining Cannibal Corpse. Monstrosity blend an extreme sense of dissonant technicality with aggressive riffing and vocals that paint images of imminent doom.
Their debut Imperial Doom came in 1992 on Nuclear Blast and set the pace of the already rapid aggressive vocals and technical guitars flowing through the songs. These received excellent reviews at the time.
The band's second release, "Millennium" was more technical than their first and brings the music technicality up to a new level. It was the last album with vocalist, George Fisher. The album was released in 1996 on Conquest Music and licensed to Nuclear Blast in Europe.
The band made different line up changes and took a different musical direction taking their next album, "In Dark Purity" with new vocalist, Jason Avery to the next level. With heavy, catchy, aggressive riffing and hard growls to finish off the intense album. Conquest Music licensed the album to Olypmic/Century Media in the US and Hammerheart Europe.
In May of 2001, they were back offering a double dose of mayhem with a double CD entitled "Enslaving the Masses". Disc one has an array of songs remixed and remastered from their previous albums. Disc two is a monumental Live album. The release was followed by an 80 date tour in the US and Canada. The album was released on Conquest Music and licensed to Hammerheart in Europe.
The band then released their epic "Rise to Power" album in 2003. Receiving fantastic reviews for the flowing technicality and diversity of the album, they again toured Europe and played Bogota, Mexico and toured in the US. The album was released on Conquest Music in the US and licensed to Metal Blade Europe
In 2007, the band released the album "Spiritual Apocalypse" on Conquest Music and licensed the album to Metal Blade Germany. Again receiving excellent reviews.
They are presently working on new material for their next album.

Suffering
Monstrosity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bloodbath conquering.
The weak rejected
Will die for all to see.
No fight for life
Their blood saturates the ground.
Ring out with their screams.
A futile gesture
Of conquered suffering.
No faith to save them
From the impalement destiny.
The legions gather
They form behind their king.
Suffering to the conquered
Left dead for all to see.
Pray for the impaler.
The dying wither
They bleed beneath their king.
This bloodbath conquering
Dying flesh leads the way
To this mighty kingdom.
Time has embraced a ruler, bloodbath, conquering.
The weak rejected will die for all to see.
No fight for life their blood saturates the ground.
Monstrosity's "Suffering" is a dark and brutal song that describes the triumph of a ruthless ruler and his armies over the weak and helpless. The lyrics speak of a time when the ruler has established his power completely, and there is no hope left for those who oppose him. The lyrics are filled with images of violence and bloodshed, as the armies of the ruler crush their enemies mercilessly. The lyrics also reflect on the futility of resistance and the inevitability of defeat for those who stand against overwhelming force.
The first verse talks about how time has embraced a ruler, which can be interpreted in many ways. Perhaps it means that the ruler has seized control of time itself, or that time has become a symbol of his power. The verse also talks about a bloodbath conquering, which means that the ruler and his armies have spilled a lot of blood in order to achieve their victory. The second line of the verse talks about the weak being rejected and dying for all to see, which is a grim reminder of the power dynamics at play in this scenario. The ruler is the strong one, and those who are weaker will not survive.
The second verse talks about the prayers of the opposition ringing out with their screams, which is another stark contrast between the two sides. The opposition is powerless to stop the ruler, and even their prayers are futile. The verse also speaks of the impalement destiny, which adds to the horror of the situation. The final verse talks about how the dying wither and bleed beneath their king, which reinforces the idea that the ruler is a merciless and powerful force. The bloodbath conquering leads to dying flesh and a mighty kingdom, which suggests that the ruler has created a terrifying and oppressive regime.
