    "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 sea is a god, an unseeing, unhearing deity that does not even know we exist. We mean less
than a grain of sand on an elephant's back, and if the sea wants us, it will take us. That's just the
way it is. The sea knows no limits, makes no concessions. It has given us everything and it can
take everything away from us.

John Ajvide Lindqvist - Harbor

lyrics

There's a place by the water where the sea stands to win,
where the waves bend their heads as if in grief
And there's a hole in the levee where the tide washes in
You'd be amazed at what is left when it recedes

Songs buried with a friend
drift back to flood your eyes again
Drowned, renounced, disowned
they crawl back home to grow

And it seems it never will let you go
and never, oh, never fade
The hole where your heart belongs
will remain

Don't turn your back on that dark pool
What it swallows, it keeps,
forever rolling in the billows
You know that if the wind turns inland,
breakers white over the shoals,
all it carries will be flung back up on the shore

'Cause some things have no end
The waves will bring them back again
to join their own
Sad and cold and slow

And it seems it never will let you go
and never, oh, never fade
The hole where your heart belongs
will remain

Dead things born again
Dead things brought home again

You know it won't let you go
and never, oh, never fade
The hole where your heart belongs
will remain
