    "Red in Tooth and Claw" marks the long awaited return of veteran Norwegian metal pioneers "Madder Mortem". Seven years have passed since the release of its predecessor "Eight Ways", and "Red in Tooth and Claw" still maintains the trademark Madder Mortem sound, but this time the quirkiness has become even more catchy. The songs move from doomy parts to hard hitting riffs, always displaying a great sense of melody, groove and emotions. The whole is topped off with the massive vocals of Agnete M. Kirkevaag who ranges from the most tender whispers to the most violent screams.

about

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

W. B. Yeats - “The Second Coming”

lyrics

No oath guards their dreams
No hope molds their schemes
Down comes the curtain, up goes the puppetry
Here come the moguls, dressed for the upper seats

Name us hands and peasants
Know our mettle when we crawl
Curled beneath our lintels
for a hammer that may fall

Once the backbone, titans bent beneath the right
Now a plump, decaying featherbed that smells of knives
Rank pretenders, spurring us to lay our lives
in the hands of the profiteers who'd eat the light

Loud teeth made to gleam
Won't be if they can seem
warm like a person, cold like consistency,
true like a newborn, whole like integrity

Charming layers of menace Sleek suits, coming when they go
Not one turn not planned
The smiles, the ties, the yammer


There's a stern wind singing in the trees tonight
Find your strength in the will of root, it stays alive
Make no tombs for the vermin built to warp your sight
By our blood and soil: This effigy, it dies tonight

All the giants are dead
