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.

Perfection
Rotten Sound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Setting an impossible goal, being unrealistic
Too large effort, no talent to reach it
Getting in there, into a perfect stage
Just after the next improvement that still need some amendments
How to define the highest level when the definition of level itself...
Needs to meet and complete the highest standards available?
Getting in there, into a perfect stage
Just after the next improvement that still need some amendments

Almost reaching the stage of total perfection
Questionable ways to measure an absurd event as a whole
How to define the highest level when the definition of level itself...
Needs to meet and comlete the highest standards available?
Setting an impossible goal, being unrealistic
Too large effort, no talent to reach it
Getting in there, into a perfect stage
Just after the next improvement that still need some amendments

Almost reaching the stage of total perfection
Questionable ways to measure an absurd event as a whole

Overall Meaning

The song "Perfection" by Rotten Sound explores the concept of perfectionism and the constant striving for unattainable goals. The opening lines speak of setting an impossible goal and being unrealistic, highlighting the pressure that society places on individuals to be perfect. The following lines describe the futility of putting in too much effort without the corresponding talent to achieve the desired level of perfection.

The chorus talks about entering into a "perfect stage" but realizing that there is always room for improvement. The song questions how one can define the highest level of achievement when the definition of "level itself" needs to meet the highest standards available. The lyrics highlight the never-ending pursuit of perfection and how it can become questionable when attempting to measure an absurd event as a whole.

Overall, the song's message is clear - perfectionism can be harmful, leading to unhealthy expectations and burnout when trying to achieve an unattainable goal. It is a reminder to embrace one's imperfections and strive for excellence, rather than perfection.
