scavengers 02:11
just eat to be eaten a last salute to our friends and foes prepare for blood we lie in wait, reap what they sow scavengers time to feed on the weak still praying for sickness a strong ally to build our success make sure they know us another kill –a way to progress you either march or follow our tongue is quick - sharp as a knife you better feed and swallow the deed is done long before we arrive scavengers time to feed on the weak just eat to be eaten a last salute to friends and foes prepare for blood we lie in wait to reap what they sow

i am everything i could ever imagine das herz der hässlichkeit liegt meist im tiefsten schlamm beißt sich durch's weißes licht die meisten sehen's nicht i am anything set to fail that's what i am i am anything i can't be i cannot be what I'm not das herz der hässlichkeit liegt meist im tiefsten schlamm schlägt schwach im schwarzen licht doch die meisten fühlen's nicht i ain't anything

we are not guiltless anymore we crossed the line of endless fault and harm we all are guilty anyhow all we ever needed was right here where we are this ain't a guilt trip but we'd deserve it this ain't a guilt trip but we'd deserve it without remorse there's no regret no hope for none of us no hope without remorse no hope for none of us without remorse there's no regret

kein tag wie jeder andere klebt fest und zieht sich hin wie graue milch auf meiner haut fließt hin und kriecht davon wieder mal falsch abgebogen den absprung nicht geschafft die wahrheit in sich selbst verbogen das luftschloss kurz und klein gedacht i revolve around me the phantom limb that has to stay erase and forget neglect and regret i revolve i revolve

too smart to fit in you're stuck in a rut too proud to relent you're really fucked up I'm almost complete yet unable to make sense out of this mess to find a home in your fascist mindset or just a niche to fit in groß sind die worte, stark die moral im rudel jagt es sich leichter the hype is real, it's off the charts is this as real as it gets? that's who you are too smart to fit in you're stuck in a rut too proud to relent you're really fucked up you praise no flag, you bow to none das fähnchen in den wind no gods and kings, the sky's the limit auf einem auge blind your tongue is quick, so is your temper es tränt im gegenwind that's who you are, all you'll ever be a parody of yourself one of a kind conformity you're just a copy of an imitation

let go, let go these darkest of greys let go, let go this grief I create within the depression I find nothing but pain no wholesome words no slurred inspiration to translate the mourn klebrig, zäh mit kalten augen entblößt sie sich vor mir bis in die letzte vene beißt der hohle zahn gaze obey decay pretend to exist let go, let go there is more to find let go, let go turn pale eyes to amber in days of slumber

we prayed for shit a thousand years a cancerous world with fake ideals the thrill is gone, so is any help for us a clusterfuck, of gain and loss time won't change it these sheep still come dressed up like wolves cause we were born sick with claws and teeth to stand against sin und wozu überhaupt noch widerstand und ungehorsam wenn doch völlig klar ist, dass schwarzer regen fallen wird your good ol' shepherd a father to all, a saviour to none soon they will know you you kill to serve his kingdom to come we prayed for shit a thousand years a cancerous world with fake ideals it's everything for us a clusterfuck of gain and loss amen

defenders of nothing deriding the herd in search of belonging deriding the herd und wieder einmal krieg gespielt in diesem und in jenem land wo das hin fürn soll weiß ich nicht die herde zeigt uns ihr gesicht im osten blüht der niedergang wo sonst niemals der vorhang fällt sitzt heute in der ersten reihe das ungeliebte herdentier defenders of nothing deriding the herd in search of belonging unmasking the herd

about

SHITSHIFTER, the German trio is no slouch when it comes to aggressive tunes. "pyre" is kind of like a "best of" when it comes to their own sound. Every cut of every extreme genre they incorporate is done excellently. Their hardcore, grindcore, crust and death-metal elements are an explosive caustic cocktail. Clocking in at just 25 min., "pyre", the vinyl debut by SHITSHIFTER is nothing short of awesome. Every one of the album's 9 tracks will pummel into you unrelentingly - think of a train with no brakes. From grimy hardcore riffage that seamlessly transitions into pure grind-metal madness - furious blast beats with a deadly array of bestial power-violence-esque riffs, the brutal, malevolent and bleak tone of "pyre" waste no time beating the listener to a shitty pulp. The longer/slower tracks on "pyre" delve deeper into the murky recesses of SHITSHIFTER's sound. On these particular tracks the band craft sludgy, plodding, towering riffs that atomize with each note. In addition to their volatility, noisy and chaotic elements also plays an important role in these tracks. Those in need of an outstanding, aggressive fix are going to get that through and through. "pyre" makes curious what the future holds for SHITSHIFTER. These guys got the chemistry and made something that will snap some necks. The record is so simple to love, and if you have ever been angry at all, you will love the rage they offer. If you’re a fan of Nails, Trap Them or Behemotth as well as Today Is The Day or Unsane. You need to check out SHITSHIFTER right away. listen to this monster! Ttoday the band is active under this name: HVRT.
