Spoonbräu 2016 - Thrash Metal (ES)

Amazingly good debut album with rather ambitious aims. Powerful and gritty, that's a no-frills straightforward Thrash Metal full of headbanging and moshing madness. Favorite track: Usual Threats.
MindOverFour

MindOverFour This is some metal thrashing mad retro crossover thrash. It has the speed of Crumbsuckers but certainly more metal than punk influences. There are a lot of the new thrash bands out there that I do not like because of the vocals and silliness. This band has good thrash vocals and no silliness. Favorite track: Blackmailed Existence.

It’s about to arrive, I know and panic comes I’m sure they will come and I’m not feeling fine Little nails wounding my state of mind Toxic clouds coming from time to time Painful words of hate Trying to draw my (fucking) fate Unstoppable fear running through my veins I know the end is always the same Subtle menace, daily fear, I can’t believe The words are paralyzing me Many doubts, many doubts, when they will hit? I can’t stand, no more, the usual threats When I know there’s no way for a happy end The best option is try to change myself Every message is a kick to the hope Another not for my neck rope Painful words of hate Trying to draw my (fucking) fate It’s not about monsters, not about war This is in inside my head, it’s worst Subtle menace, daily fear, I can’t believe The words are paralyzing me Many doubts, many doubts, when they will hit? I can’t stand, no more, the usual threats Rotten felling Deep within The line between love and hate is thin…it’s thin…it’s very… THIN! Subtle menace, daily fear, I can’t believe The words are paralyzing me Many doubts, many doubts, when they will hit? I can’t stand, no more, the usual threats I can’t stand…The chains binding me I can’t stand…Slavery in my head I can’t stand…This is tormenting me I can’t stand…The usual threats

Blaming everyone but I should blame myself Who’s responsible of me? Me and no one else Blaming everything blinded by my own hate Planting seeds of anger without finding The exit gate (the final gate) Blaming everyone when the true guilt is within Destroyer of myself, that’s what I have been. Trying to live with the enemies by my side Blaming everything, fighting my own fight I kill what makes me breath, I hate! And the hate hits back to me The grave I dig is my own I hurt! And the worst is that I know My hart pumps hate and the blood spills my face Like the scorpion I kill what makes me live I write my future, with poisoned ink I can’t stop spitting against the wind I kill what makes me breath, I hate! And the hate hits back to me The grave I dig is my own I hurt! And the worst is that I know I hate! I kill what makes me breath, I hate! And the hate hits back to me I hurt! The grave I dig is my own I hurt! And the worst is that I know Why do I turn white … Into black, wrong, fake and down? Can I fight against my nature? Can I fight against my fate? Can I fight against my nature? Can I fight against my fate? Can I fight against my nature? Can I fight against my fate? Can I fight? Can I fight? I wanna fight against my hate! Blaming everyone but I should blame myself Who’s responsible of me? Me and no one else Blaming everything blinded by my own hate Planting seeds of anger without finding My mind is rotting, my spirit is heathen My soul is burning and I can't be free. Blaming others is not the solution Because the only guilty is me.

Can you feel the strong smell that’s coming from inside? A creature was born when another died Once you’re in you won’t come out, this ritual is our bound Frantic phrases at the speed of sound In a shelter, in our refuge, you have to assume Shredding notes is what we do Leave behind your daily routine, back to the scene …spread the fire with gasoline If you’re looking for noise, and a place to hide, a hole of fun, the underground Take no shit and come around, you’ll find us at the one, one, one If you smell alcohol and the adrenaline flows, we’re here, where all began Take no shit and come around, you’ll find us at the one, one, one At the ONE ONE ONE! Let’s start the second round in our playground No more stand by, burn the town Breaking walls is what we want ‘cause it’s the right Exciting things blow our minds No more search, now you know, don’t you roam Come and make yourself at home Come and join this place of sin, you’ve never been And be prepared for this killing machine If you’re looking for noise, and a place to hide, a hole of fun, the underground Take no shit and come around, you’ll find us at the one, one, one If you smell alcohol and the adrenaline flows, we’re here, where all began Take no shit and come around, you’ll find us at the one, one, one

Trapped with no conditions, in a constant rage A nice view from our crystal cage We all born with an expiring date Our fate is made… Death is pulling hard, our strings Living nightmares we think are dreams We’re pushed to what the future brings Starting to die… …Since the moment we are thrown into this world We’re force to live and we live marked We’re given a death sentence on the first day A chemical process tears our body apart Nothing’s free, we’ll pay What we are, poor banished children Since the beginning our future is written In this play we’ve never bitten Starting to die… …Since the moment we are thrown into this world We are not asked at all …At all!!! Do not show resistance! We are here for just a moment Do not show resistance! We all live a blackmailed existence Like a handful of dust before a storm Becoming ash after we are born Seeking meanings Wondering who we are Seeking senses Chasing false truths Do not show resistance! We are here for just a moment Do not show resistance! We all live a blackmailed existence Trapped with no conditions, in a constant rage A nice view from our crystal cage We all born with an expiring date Our fate is made… Death is pulling hard, our strings Living nightmares we think are dreams We’re pushed to what the future brings Starting to die… …Since the moment we are thrown into this world …Since the moment we are thrown into this world We are not asked at all …At all!!! Do not show resistance! We are here for just a moment Do not show resistance! We all live a blackmailed existence Rusting existence! Dying existence!

Back from a long journey, crossing the ocean Eyes are open wide, now we see the truth Reality has punched us hard in the face Where’s the end? Just a matter of days Will be ever out… of the hole? Maybe our place is in the threshold. As we leave behind a long sea Welcome back to the fucking reality Back from a long journey, we don’t see the light Wondering if what we do, is wrong or right After the land where human sacrifices were made Once again at home, trying to find the gate Will be ever out… of the hole? Maybe our place is in the threshold. As we leave behind a long sea Welcome back to the fucking reality Facing the true but…where is it? Asking forever where we are. Who possess the truth right now? Everyone has an own way out. Do! Don’t do! Attack! Reject! Not as brothers side by side All! Against! All! Instead Time arrives for us to die Which is the reality? Which is the reality? Nobody knows the reality! Was this a product of our imagination? Which part was real and which a dream? When and why we fucked ourselves? Everything was a nightmare within! Will be ever out… of the hole? Maybe our place is in the threshold. As we leave behind a long sea Welcome back to the fucking reality Will be ever out… of the hole? Maybe our place is in the threshold. As we leave behind a long sea Welcome back to the fucking reality

Bitch! Don’t you see? The city has became a Bitch! Now we all are sold to the Rich! This ain’t what used to be Trash in backyard, cult the power A plague has come to town, now we’re clowns A false paradise, barbarians are the new flies One step further means, closer to the edge A second Sodom’s here, a beautiful fake The city bows to the powers that be Should we all fall on our knees? Siege! Don’t you see? The city now is under Siege! We’re raped puppets on the Streets! Hide the reek away Show you best smile or you’d better don’t stay Kill the bitch that does not look at your face Face the invaders and don’t be their slave A new master has come to rule the place The town is down and lives the last days of grace The city bows to the powers that be Should we all fall on our knees? We don’t wanna fall down to our knees Sacrificed in the altar of the green greed Aggressions, obsessions, all kinds of perversions Harlot city, stolen city, we no longer fit it You say “amused”, I say “abused”, don’t you see we’re ambushed? Is this where we belong? The city used to be, a city of prodigies But now we are seeing some tragedies The city used to be, a city of forgiveness From far they came and spread the sickness One step, one step further, one step closer to the edge A new master has come to rule the place The town is down and lives the last days of grace The city bows to the powers that be Should we all fall on our knees? We don’t wanna fall down to our knees Sacrificed in the altar of the green greed

Smoke and fire have painted the walls People see in black and white Death and pain have painted the souls Enemies no more in sight The worst The worst is still to come The worst The burial of the son Ruins everywhere, heathen hearts Now there is much more to regret To whom belong the fallen ones? No justice no peace, don’t forget The End The End End The End Dignity rots for the bastards of the gods A life hell sent what’s the feeling at the end? At the end of the wars Everything just starts Sadness or rage? Impossible to turn the page Reckoning day, honor the failed, it’s time to pay We can’t see the way Sadness or rage? Impossible to turn the page Reckoning day, honor the failed, it’s time to pay There’s nothing to say! When the wounded will find the peace? When their lives are full of shame Afterlife? What is this? Don’t you think all seems the same? The End The end End The end Dignity rots for the bastards of the gods A life hell sent what’s the feeling at the end? At the end of the wars Everything just starts Sadness or rage? Impossible to turn the page Reckoning day, honor the failed, it’s time to pay We can’t see the way Sadness or rage? Impossible to turn the page Reckoning day, honor the failed, it’s time to pay There’s nothing to say! What does hurt the most? What died or what remains? The blood of those we lost The pain runs through the veins What does hurt the most? What died or what remains? The blood of those we lost The pain runs through the veins Sadness or rage? Impossible to turn the page Reckoning day, honor the failed, it’s time to pay We won’t to get THE FUCK AWAY! At the end… At the end… At the end… Everthying Starts!

Are there enough eyes of mercy? Towards us to extinct our pain? We spread anger, we’re dying for years In this long exile, in this valley of tears Our mind has limits, hands are tight To whom we send up our sighs? We spread hate, we use our fears We cry and weep in this valley of tears Through the years, on this parole they call life Day after day, waiting for the night Through decades, in this mourning, are we alive? As we keep being buried by the sands of time Our dreams are just dreams And we just catch what live brings Standing upon this stone, our stone Are we more than the flesh and bone? Our mind has limits, our hands are tight To whom we send up our sighs? We spread hate, we use our fears We cry and weep in this valley of tears Through the years, on this parole they call life Day after day, waiting for the night Through decades, in this mourning they call life As we keep being buried by the sands of time Roaming forever, this path of agony You don’t know but it’s never or never! Trying to catch false dreams of liberty In this valley of tears, In this path of agony Liberty! Through the years, on this parole they call life Day after day, waiting for the night Through decades, in this mourning they call life As we keep being buried by the sands of time Roaming forever, this path of agony You don’t know but it’s never or never! Trying to catch false dreams of liberty In this valley of tears, In this path of agony Liberty!

Late at night in bed in the heart of darkness I can’t overcome the fears, my spirit’s blackened My body still lives, but my soul dies Late at night in bed, when demons… arise Eyes are watching me When I lost myself? Distress is pulling me under Day after day after day, it becomes harder Please someone help me, I’m not fine Please someone help me, I’m losing my… mind My hope is disappearing Kill it! Smash it! Beat it! Your fear should be weaker than your hate Kill it! Rip it! Burn it! Do it before it’s too late My understanding now is heading nowhere Distress is eating me alive, is it worthwhile? Can‘t I see solution for this? It is just there Late at night in bed, anger comes… wild Why can’t I stop suffering? Kill it! Smash it! Beat it! Your fear should be weaker than your hate Kill it! Rip it! Burn it! Do it before it’s too late All my struggle is in vain To avoid the feast of woodworms in my brain I can’t release from this terrible… Pain Late at night in bed in the heart of darkness I can’t overcome the fears, my spirit’s blackened My body still lives, but my soul dies Late at night in bed, when demons… arise Eyes are watching me Kill it! Smash it! Beat it! Your fear should be weaker than your hate Kill it! Rip it! Burn it! Do it before it’s too late

When the unconscious world appears When you thought the pain was forgotten When you look at the eyes of the fears You realize the trauma is not rotten Random feelings, daily suffering Random thoughts, why this happens? Fill the cracks, no retribution Feel the scars, only solution Mental punishments from time to time Coming again and again to the head Beneath the skin, deep inside the mind You realize life becomes death Hidden sides don’t make me be Here the ignorance is not bliss. What the hell happened to me? I wish I could get through this Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks… The sorrow sucks When a phantom of the past appears When an ancient sin is unspoken When you are paralyzed by the fears You realize your soul is broken Random feelings, daily suffering Random thoughts, why this happens? Fill the cracks, no retribution Feel the scars, only solution Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks… The sorrow sucks The scar festers pain, festers truth The pain seeps… through the crack The scar festers pain, festers truth The suffering of the past… is back Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks! Through the cracks!
