lyrics
Modern genocide is wearing another face; it differs in nature.
Who deserves to live or die? Between love and torture.
Your food is an accumulation of violence, and reeks of death
Just blood in your mouth. Human failure.
The spread of cruelty.
How many throats ripped out? How many skulls crushed on the ground?
Dried blood spots mark the fate of their certain death.
One by one through the eyes of the scavenger.
One by one by the bloody hand of the carnist
Don't try to deny, don't try to justify
Accomplice of defect
Tradition doesn't make it right, that's not a legacy
As racism must be eradicated, let this suffering end
As tradition dies slowly, innocents will be free
Another voice of the voiceless raging against the disinterest
EN: Why do we eat meat? By tradition, by culture, and if we look more closely, out of conformism. We’ve been conditioned since childhood and this conditioning carries on thanks to a societal and cultural environment, not facilitating, but making of conformity an intrinsic value. We consume meat like we consume any other product. When one ask the average Joe why he or she eats meat, the answer is usually something along the lines of “because it‘s good”, “because I always have”, “because otherwise I’d probably suffer from deficiency” , or even “why even put this into question? Man has been eating meat since time immemorial”. Why change now? It is this conformism, this complacency that indirectly removes from our intellect the capacity of questioning things. So how do we explain this situation? By ignorance (voluntary or involuntary)? By apathy? Or by sheer laziness?
We’ve been taught to disregard the living being behind the product. We consume animals without even thinking about it; because it’s what we’ve always done. The belief system inherent to this practice is invisible. Melanie Joy use the term “carnism” to refer to this invisible belief system. “[…] carnism is based on the ideology of the “three N”: eating animals is normal, natural, and necessary. And these same myths have been used to justify violent behaviors and belief systems based on the exploitation of a category of individuals throughout human history. The “three N” are so deeply rooted in our social conscience that they guide our actions without us having to pay any mind to it. Mélanie Joy (2010). Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows – An Introduction to Carnism.
It is a matter of choice. Have we ever truly made the conscious choice to eat animals, or was it decided for us at an early age? Actively choosing our diet means taking moral responsibly in participating to the murder of living sentient beings, or rejecting this odious tradition of useless suffering. It is –literally- a choice between life and death.

FR: Pourquoi mange-t-on de la viande ? Par tradition, par culture, et en y regardant de plus près, par conformisme. Nous sommes conditionnés dès l’enfance et ce conditionnement se perpétue grâce à un environnement sociétal et culturel, non pas qui facilite, mais qui fait du conformisme une valeur intrinsèque. On consomme de la viande comme on consomme un produit quelconque. Lorsque l’on pose la question à une personne lambda, les réponses que l’on obtient sont généralement les suivantes : « parce que c'est bon », « parce que j'en ai toujours mangé », et « si je m'en passais je souffrirais de carences », ou encore « l'Homme mange de la viande depuis la nuit des temps, pourquoi changer les choses ? » C'est ce conformisme, cette complaisance qui indirectement efface de notre intellect la capacité de se remettre en cause. Alors comment expliquer cette situation ? Par l'ignorance (qu’elle soit volontaire ou involontaire) ? L’apathie ? Ou par paresse tout simplement ?
On nous a appris à faire fi de l’être vivant derrière le produit. Nous mangeons des animaux sans y penser, parce que c’est ce que nous avons toujours fait. Le système de croyances qui sous-tend cette pratique est invisible. Mélanie Joy utilise le vocable « carnisme » pour désigner ce système invisible de croyances. « […] Le carnisme repose sur l’idéologie des « trois N » : manger de la viande est normal, naturel, nécessaire. Il est semblable en cela à tous les systèmes violents bâtis sur l’exploitation d’une catégorie d’individus. Les trois N sont si enracinés dans notre conscience sociale qu’ils guident nos actions sans que nous ayons à y penser. » Mélanie Joy (2010). Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows – An Introduction to Carnism.
Tout est une question de choix. A-t-on réellement fait le choix de manger des animaux, ou est-ce-que ce cela a-t-il été décidé pour nous dès notre enfance ? Choisir de manière active son alimentation c’est assumer moralement de participer au meurtre d’un être vivant et sensible ; ou de rejeter cette tradition infâme de souffrance inutile. Il s’agit, littéralement, de choisir entre la vie et la mort.
It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling. le monsieur
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel
