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.

Void
Rotten Sound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unseen disaster
Invisible ruins

Looking inside,
Seeing void

No strength to repair
The chaos inside

Looking inside,
Seeing void

Disastrous thoughts
Major damage has been done
Unseen damage around
No order for the chaos inside

Looking inside,
Seeing void

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rotten Sound's song "Void" delve into the concept of invisible trauma and chaos within oneself. The opening lines "Unseen disaster, Invisible ruins" refer to the idea that personal turmoil can manifest in ways that are not immediately visible to others. The following lines "Looking inside, Seeing void" imply that the singer is attempting to confront and come to terms with their own damaged inner self, but they are met with a sense of emptiness and hopelessness that drives them deeper into despair.

The second half of the song further explores this theme, with lines like "No strength to repair, The chaos inside" and "Disastrous thoughts, Major damage has been done" painting a picture of a person who is overwhelmed by their own internal struggles. The final lines "Unseen damage around, No order for the chaos inside, Looking inside, Seeing void" drive home the notion that this kind of trauma can be all-encompassing and difficult to confront.
