MANS’ OBSOLESCENCE Enslaved: mentally held prisoner Scriptures inked by madmen of yore Servile, to aspire not to expire Your saviour brings flood Disease and cleansing fire Salivating for the end of times Insipid servants whittle Away their worthless lives Fascination with immortality Brainwashed minions of a false reality Promise of eternity... Control: held by fear of subjugation Slave to the fiction that you’re read by Preachers foaming over the sinful dead Religious cancer, virus of the mind Enemy of progress, champion of demise Pestilent rancour in the gospel so divine You can throw away your time I’ll be damned if you’ll waste mine No heaven, no afterlife... No kingdom or paradise... No salvation, nor forgiveness... No perfect world... now, or ever (Lead: Megaguitarmageddondeath) Doomsday cult, unforgiving scourge Embed theologies in malicious code The world is passing away, and so is its desire And he that does god’s will shall also rot forever May we rejoice in a reign of atomic fire But when the shit goes down We all will burn together

THE TOXOPLASMIC AVENGER (Lead: Cat-shit crazy!) They’re your friends on the inside Commandeering cells to multiply Tachyzoites rioting; I’ll tell you why Say ‘Hello’ to Toxoplasma Gondii Cat got your blood? Oocysts proliferate parasitophorous vacuoles In your brain, eyes, and heart Immune system unplugged You are infected, and that is just the start ... Rupturing host cells burst ... ... As rampant bradyzoites birth ... Pathogenic cysts ripened in excretion Licked from your fingertips With gusto they were eaten Parasites infest your intestinal epithelium Seizing control of the endoplasmic reticulum Widespread histone-lysine acetylation Your cortical astrocytes are rife for incubation Toxoplasma swarms in faecal flotation Your medial amygdala torn by hypomethylation Spastic jerk... over-run With neurocognitive deficits Now berserk, schizophrenic lurch Cologned in cats’ piss... Stuffing rodents in your mouth Vehicles swerving out your way Psycho-motor system ruined No vaccine/treatment to save the day (Lead: Cataleptic incubator of intracellular parasites)

HUMANE GARBAGE Self entitled... detached, insane Violent despatch, bloodlust unchained They are not equal, enslaved and slain Humanly slaughtered with depraved disdain Rose tinted glasses: blinkers for the humane Compassionate murder... (for us) no pain Under the hammer, annul their brains Flail to the knife, slough in the drain A backward death march Along a trail of misery... Air thick with the stench Of blood, shit, and hypocrisy Factory concentration camps Are a monetised killing machine The slow and meek are kicked and stabbed We stand by and ignore their screams... The niceties of cruelty, no peace for the meat Blood splattered paradigm Dead ends justify the means Superior race? Pathetic; tall we stand Proud and indignant, heads buried in quicksand Cold unfeeling holocaust A trillion lives put to an end In a full-inversion slaughter box Full of flawed rhetoric to defend The impiety of your crudity... Lie’s a piece of shit There’s no reason to your chyme Suckling on deaths cold teat Faunicidal disgrace Dealt by our hand Ignorance your sacred cow The pestilence called man (Lead bass: Boltgun supremacy)

MISERYGUTS Do you wear your heart On razor-scarred sleeves? Don the Melpomene mask Grief is a viable commodity Do you feel the pain? Black soul of maleficence A grown-arse man Surging with the blood Of a thousand adolescents You’re so dark and brooding (We laugh!) You’re losing faith in life (Yeah, right!) Social media streams your bleeding Luring strangers to buy The soundtrack to your grieving Don’t you have it all? A tortured artist with nothing to lose Practice suicide; credibility hung by a noose Well, the market is tapped... Bled dry, you’re under duress A sad cliché complete... You sold out; depressed to impress ... Malingering psyche ... ... Such emotional hyperbole ... ... Convivial catastrophe ... ... Professional ignominy ... Oh, you are so alone A soul alone ... sorrow clone

FETTGANS MADRIGAL Here we come in black and white My hooligan gang; you’d better take flight Viddy the tortures of the damned Oh bliss and heaven... Knee-high rapists on ice Some say cute, but we’re not very nice Pygoscelis Adélie... Known for astonishing depravity Trading rock from a nest for sex The sick and injured we molest Roaming in our frigid ‘hood Hey bird-brain, don’t call me Droog (Lead: Antarctic ultraviolence) Let’s go wandering in a winter wonderland... A corpse is a corpse of course, of course We’re gonna have sex with a frozen corpse It doesn’t matter how long it’s been dead We’ll lubbilubb with a severed head Getting our yarbles bandied about With a bit of the ol’ in-out If there are no corpses to be found Then we just pol the icy ground

about

FLATUS was initially a four piece, formed by guitarist Daniel Majer as a ‘just for fun’ CARCASS tribute act who made two festival appearances in 2012 and 2013, performing a set of material lifted exclusively from the first two records: “… with humble respect similar to that of a seasoned funeral director, Flatus pay homage to the bludgeoning, gunge-soaked, cadaver-ridden human slaughterhouse that was Carcass circa 1987-89”. In 2014 the band recorded the ‘Pizza of Putrefaction’ mini-EP which featured two covers plus two original compositions written in the same musical style. The CD was released in insanely limited edition ‘Pizza Box’ packaging with scratch-n-sniff pizza stickers, and as a free download on the bands Bandcamp page.

Now performing as a “power trio”, 2015 saw a trimmed down line-up and the release of ‘Death Metal Is A Rotting Corpse’, an album containing five new tunes that expanded on the bands previous Carcass worship to include different textures and influences, plus a death-metalised version of a track by BLACKSTAR, featuring none other than ex-Carcass/Blackstar axeman Carlo Regadas on guest lead guitar. The albums initial release was limited to 50 hand-numbered copies presented in a special translucent rice-paper sleeve and sold out quickly.

In the two years leading up to February 2017, the band slowly but carefully crafted material for their next release. The style had progressed further in the direction hinted at by the previous album, with songs now freely incorporating a wider range of musical influences to make for a diverse listen in the form of ‘Global Developmental Decay’. With social/political lyrical themes infused with gory and cynical word-play, an emphasis on writing catchy music not riddled with overly complicated technique or instrumentation, plus completely hand-illustrated front cover art, the album harkens back to the days of early 1990s death metal when things were a little bit more simple, but also experimental and exciting. As with the previous releases, production was handled by Majer, with a keen ear to recreate the raw, unpolished sound of death metal’s heyday.

Because of the very limited nature of ‘Death Metal Is A Rotting Corpse’, the band made the decision to include their two albums together on one definitive release featuring an entirely remixed and remastered version of the aforementioned title. Containing over an hour of twisted and warped music, Digitally released September 11, 2018, and CD released 9th May, 2020 in a strictly limited-edition Digipak release through Grindhead Records.
