'Duplicity', the band's critically acclaimed 2008 release came as a breath of fresh air to listeners and has rapidly gained popularity in several countries worldwide. With the ethos of an unsigned band, the self-produced album engineered by guitarist Tom Callahan presents both the massive sound of a modern metal record and the raw, edgy excitement of a band entering unchartered territory.

With strobes, lasers and sheer energy, Silent Descent provide a show that's not only intense and gripping, but also unforgettable. Having played at Bloodstock Festival 2008 and Download Festival 2009, 2010 and 2012 they have proved their worth in today's metal scene and have gained countless fans along the way.
Silent Descent continue to go from strength to strength. Consistantly breaking boundaries and pushing limits, they are determined to re-establish what constitutes a great metal band.
Blood Fucked
Silent Descent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so tired, so cynical.
These games again,
Unoriginal.
There's limitations,
And expectations,
Mindlessly act as if this were nothing.
Blood in sand,
Turns to black,
Blue fire, awakening.
Go!
What the fuck bitch is your goal?
You turn your back from me.
I don't recognise,
Your face.
I see impure sight.
False tears, no hesitation.
So blind, so ignorant.
Am I alone?
Am I alone?
I always was.
She knows not to look back,
The angel inside, bleeds from breaking mirrors,
That'll bleed you if you're guilty.
Like fuck you are.
Behold, the truth be told unfold,
The lies beneath so cold,
The day you joined your soul,
What the fuck bitch is your...
Goal for us,
Deprive me,
Blood fucked,
Where's your conscience?
You'd leave me back to die.
The opening lines of Blood Fucked by Silent Descent seem to suggest that the singer has been lied to by someone they trusted. The singer is tired and cynical, and feels as though they have been through these games before, suggesting a repeated pattern of deceit. The lines "There's limitations, And expectations, Mindlessly act as if this were nothing" could suggest that the person who lied to the singer did so knowing that there were boundaries and expectations that they were crossing, but acted as if it didn't matter. The lines "Blood in sand, Turns to black, Blue fire, awakening" could be metaphorical, representing the singer's anger and desire for revenge - the blood in sand turning to black could represent a corruption of something pure, perhaps the innocence that the singer once had.
The chorus seems to be directed at the person who lied to the singer, with lines like "What the fuck bitch is your goal?" and "You'd leave me back to die." The singer feels as though they don't recognize the person anymore, perhaps because of the lie that has been exposed. Lines like "False tears, no hesitation" further suggest that the person who lied is not trustworthy and may be trying to manipulate the situation. The lines "Am I alone? I always was" suggest that the singer feels isolated and perhaps had been all along, despite their trust in the person who lied to them.
The bridge of the song, with lines like "Behold, the truth be told unfold" and "The day you joined your soul," suggests that there was some kind of contract or agreement between the singer and the person who lied. The lines "Blood fucked, Where's your conscience?" seem to indicate that the singer feels as though the other person has no remorse for what they did. Overall, the song seems to be about the aftermath of a betrayal and the singer's feelings of anger, isolation, and the desire for revenge.
