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.
Hollow
Rotten Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Intestines inside are as hollow as the crust is thin
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
Day by day you drift away from this reality
Every hour you lose some more of your self-esteem
You keep yourselves busy
By serving your masters
Slaves of society
Ignoring reality
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
To gain more material
To improve exterior
To strive for excellence
To become superior
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary
Day by day you drift away from this reality
Every hour you lose some more of your self-esteem
Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness
Rotten Sound's song Hollow is a scathing critique of the superficial consumer culture that dominates modern society. The opening lines, "The crust that holds your innards is what you lean on / Intestines inside are as hollow as the crust is thin," suggest that our physical bodies are a mere shell or façade for the emptiness that lies within. The idea that we are hollow on the inside is a metaphor for the lack of substance or depth in our lives, which we try to compensate for by pursuing material possessions and superficial pleasures.
The chorus, "Enjoy the emptiness of fake happiness / Become the rightful owner of the unnecessary," is a sarcastic commentary on our obsession with accumulating things that we don't really need in order to feel happy or fulfilled. The second verse takes a more direct aim at the way we spend our time and energy, "You keep yourselves busy / By serving your masters / Slaves of society / Ignoring reality." This suggests that we are trapped in a cycle of working to earn money to buy things we don't need, rather than living our lives authentically and pursuing meaningful experiences.
The final verse is a scathing indictment of the idea that we should always be striving for more, "To gain more material / To improve exterior / To strive for excellence / To become superior." The repetition of "To" at the beginning of each line emphasizes the relentless pursuit of material success and status that dominates our culture. In the end, the message of Hollow is a call to wake up and break free from the hollow, materialistic existence that traps us.

I think they're speaking of the mass consumerism of waste that we partake in.
Admiral Bongo
Not exactly. More like relying on consumerism as a primitive way to distract yourself from depression and dissatisfaction with your life, eventually leading to self-loathing and the inability to look at yourself and the world around realistically.
