Introduction 00:37
“We’re like the grass of the mountain that grows back again after being cut, and as mountain grass we will cover the world.” - Dolores Cacuango
2.
Blinded 03:16
There’s blood in your lungs, Purity of breath is lost. Nails to a coffin that was never empty, As you pour your heart on the walls. No one to guide you, No wolves to hunt you down. You hide away, Searching for a shelter in pain. The prey is not your flesh But only your fear. The prey is not your mind, But only your vision. It leaves you drained It leaves you damaged Until you loose all sense of hope. Blinded The rage that consumes the flower. The facade you refuse to recognize Defines your loneliness. Blinded The rage that consumes the power. The loss embedded around us Grinds its teeth. Biding time for hollow moments. Loosing count Of the soulless wind of time. I refuse to accept This circle of grief.
3.
Incinerate 03:25
(For the shake of one breed, The vision of exploitation reigns. Taking lives of the innocent. Eternal fire scorches the ground.) An ecosystem of nothing but dust. Respire the flames. Vomit all life left. Only pollution remains. L'Enfer of annihilation. And as every wrathful form emerges in plain sight, This Earth becomes the canvas of bloodlust. The penance of destruction engulfs every species. Suffering, cleansing, in the name of dominion. Every other path rots away. What do you fail to understand? This planet is fucking done. Nothing will be left to inherit. Every living creature will cease to exist. Where is your human conscience? Obedient to unnatural laws. Extinction is all we will leave behind. Your so called price of progression. Poisoned lungs replace the healing Nature. Rotting hands replace compassion. A furious need for resistance Will shine a light upon this scorched planet.
4.
Wherever I look I see oppression Broken and bound, left to the shackles. The fracture of bodies, and the death of the mind. But the spirits survive. Our anger will never be suppressed. Don’t let injustice sadden you, let it radicalise you.
5.
(I must strive to prove we're all seeds of the same tree.) Silence will always reign from above as long as there's quiet below. They show us salvation as a product to be sold. They sell us the way while placing the traps. And if you smell their smoking guns your life is up for grabs. But the truth remains: All we inherit will always be ash. Now I can see the anger of the roots brings life to our tree. We must feed the emptiness with unsilent lives. We must march onward. This burning inside means to be free. We'll spread this fire in our chests. These flames belong to those drowning their spirits These flames are forged from the hands of humanity. These flames will burn the pillars of their reign. And from ashes, freedom prevails.
6.
You can try and burn The grass beneath me But this fire will never harm my skin. No one is going to take This happiness away from me. Let the blossomed flowers Cover the scars of a broken earth. The manifestation of everything I was meant to be. I’ll sever the hands. In your eyes I give a new meaning to violence. I am not here just to rot Daggers of hope.
7.
I tie the noose, Cross my fingers As I hope to die. The pressure keeps building, stress is crashing down on me. Mistakes haunting me, Is guilt what I should feel? I only wish that I could start from the beginning. Malignant life.

about

After countless setbacks, mainly due to the global pandemic, Malignant is proud to present to you the final result of two years of turmoil and creative expression: With Daggers Between Our Teeth.
Drawing from the 90s-early 00s hardcore and metalcore movements we grew up listening to, and their recent revival, Malignant bring forth a real sense of metallic hardcore: Combining everything from european metalcore to myspace grindcore tributes, to beatdown and sludge, WDBOT strives to find its own distinctive sound, and fill a big void in the greek and balkan scene, for a style that enjoys a big revival across the pond but not locally. It's an effort to keep things interesting, diverse, fun, intense and heavy in different ways for the listener.
Lyrically, the record deals with the harsh realities of anguish, terror and pain in a decaying, late-capitalist world and an economically and politically shattered, corrupt country. The aspects explored are on the one hand on a personal level with themes varying from the crushing mental weight of anxiety and depression, to the fight to triumph above adversity. On the other hand, the main themes take a step back to talk about the blatantly tragic issues facing our societies, crushed, scorched and oppressed in the name of the economical gain of the few, and how it is our turn to show compassion, solidarity and humanity to one another, in order to overcome those issues.
Overall, the goal is firstly to creatively express in a liberating, cathartic and emphatic way everything that we feel around us, as part of a youth disgusted by the system imposed on us all and the way it affects us and our planet, a youth that naturally wants to change that, and secondly, and ideally, to light the sparks to continue the struggles in solidarity and fight back against a world clearly at war against human and non human life.
We are the enemy, and this is the sound of triumph. Solidarity is our weapon.
"And from ashes, freedom prevails."
