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.
Lobotomy
Rotten Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A clear vision is reflected, the perfect future, the ignorant bliss
We are born to sell
The best time to create
Will to live is sucked efficiently
By the 8 hours of lobotomy
Become as an insignificant part, a tiny wheel of the society
We are born to sell the best time to create
Will to live is sucked efficiently by the 8 hours of lobotomy
By the 8 hours of lobotomy
Five days a week we sell our time
Lobotomy by free will to gain a decent life
We are born to sell time to create
Will to live is lost by the cost of sanity
So many years of education
Millions of hours are spent to learn
A clear vision is reflected
The perfect future, the ignorant bliss
We are born to sell
The best time to create
Will to live is sucked efficiently
By the 8 hours of lobotomy
The lyrics to Rotten Sound's song Lobotomy describe the monotonous and unfulfilling nature of modern-day work. The first lines of the song refer to the many years of education and time spent learning, ultimately leading to the creation of a clear vision of the future. This is portrayed as a perfect future, but also one of ignorant bliss. The idea of ignorant bliss refers to the fact that many people follow the societal norms without questioning the status quo, even when this means sacrificing their own well-being.
The chorus repeats the idea that we are born to sell our time to create, but the will to live is sucked efficiently by the eight hours of lobotomy. The use of the word lobotomy is significant in this context because it refers to a surgical procedure that involves cutting or removing portions of the brain. This cuts off the connections between different parts of the brain, resulting in a loss of cognitive and emotional faculties. By using the word lobotomy, the song suggests that work has a similar effect on people. It dulls the senses, dehumanizes us and turns us into mere cogs in a machine.
The final lines of the song are chillingly bleak. They reveal that five days a week, we sell our time to create, but the will to live is lost by the cost of sanity. This phrase implies that everyone is forced to sacrifice their mental health for the system. Overall, the song is a damning critique of the modern-day work culture and the devastating effects it has on individuals.

By the 8 hours of lobotomy
Due to the 8 hours of work during a day, which drains our vitality
Slaves all we are, free will of ours will fall
We are slaves to money, our free will diminishes.
Become as an insignificant part, a tiny wheel of the society
We become an unimportant part, a mere cog in societal machinery
Five days a week we sell our time
Most of our week is spent for a paycheck
Lobotomy by free will to gain a decent life
We give up our will to live decently
Will to live is lost by the cost of sanity
The cost of living consumes our reason to live
We are born to sell time to create
We work for a living, to create money through time and skill.
By the 8 hours of lobotomy
Our vitality is drained by the 8-hour day of work.
