On January 2005 Spinefarm released "Exit"-album, which went immediately to the Finnish charts and stayed for three weeks. "Exit" also received praising reviews from different medias around the world and was claimed as one of the most important extreme releases of the year 2005. After the release of "Exit" Rotten Sound toured in Scandinavia, U.S. and went on a second headlining tour in Europe during January 2006.
Sami Latva joined Rotten Sound in February 2006 to replace long-time drummer, Kai Hahto. The band was expecting to go on a hiatus in 2006, but, thanks to Sami, could start to prepare for the next studio session immediately. They recorded eight new songs for "Consume to Contaminate"-MCD during April 2006. Lyrical content of "Consume to Contaminate" is handling again difficult issues on this globe with loads of cynisism and a touch of death.
Rotten Sound has made four full length albums, ten shorter releases, five European tours, two U.S.-tours, three scandinavian tours and is one of the leading bands in grind-core. Now "Consume to Contaminate" introduces the new heavy, aggressive and insane Rotten Sound: a band which is prepared to take destructive powers of grind-core a few big leaps ahead.
Decimate
Rotten Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are doomed to be saved
Things will become more simple
Through survival instincts
When the globe becomes overloaded
And the South is enslaved
As the cycles will take us back here again?
Cycles of insanity are cleaning up this globe
Through the decimation of this arrogant race in charge
Five thousand years from now
We'll see this again
The cycles of stupidity
The repeated history
Back to the Stone Age
We are doomed to be saved
Things will become more simple
Through survival instincts
When the globe becomes overloaded
And the South is exploited
Five thousand years from now
We'll see this again
The cycles of insanity
The repeated history
We are the cancer of this globe
The precious planet Earth is now polluted
Raped and molested by the retarded human race
That destroys it piece by piece
The lyrics to Rotten Sound's song Decimate depict a bleak vision of the future where humanity is reduced to living like our Stone Age ancestors due to their own destructive arrogance. The song begins with the statement "We are heading back to the Stone Age" which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics where the band describes a future where survival instincts become necessary for everyday life. The lyrics also suggest that this return to a simpler way of life will be the result of our own undoing. The band references the South being enslaved and exploited due to the overwhelming use of resources in the world, which is reminiscent of colonialism and imperialism.
The repetition of the phrase "Five thousand years from now, we'll see this again" suggests that this is not the first time humanity has fallen victim to cycles of insanity and destruction. The lyrics also suggest that humanity will continue to repeat this history over and over again in the future. The line "We are the cancer of this globe" further emphasizes the theme of humanity's detrimental impact on the planet and the destruction and pollution it causes.
In summary, Rotten Sound's song Decimate presents a bleak vision of humanity's future, where we are doomed to return to primitive ways of life due to our own reckless behavior. The song expresses the band's frustration with the state of the world and the destructive nature of humanity.
