Bloodied But Unbowed Nasum is perhaps the only Grindcore band to ever manage an upward progression over four albums. Here's the final one, probably their best, with the crispest songwriting and production. Unfortunately the world would be never have the chance to hear where Mieszko, Anders, and the gang would go next.

S810 Best. Grindcore. Band. Ever. And this is by far my favorite LP by this band. Super stoked that Relapse reissued this, and the others, on vinyl. Just got this one and its amazing. Will definitely be ordering the other ones soon. Favorite track: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Particles 01:15
Energy in its purest form Doesn't matter where it's from Feeding of the light Grinding it to dust A huge vibrating mass That is ready to explode Feeding of the light Grinding it to dust We're just particles With guilt and shame We're just particles With ourselves to blame Energy in its purest form Doesn't matter where it's from Feeding of the light Grinding it to dust

The engine is alive Fear it cultivates Masses putrefy Profit they create The engine's working well Iron glowing red Masses put in hell Piles of newly dead A sickening steam is emerging from the pipes -The engine of death This brutal machinery is bound to take some lives -The engine of death The engine now evolves Loads another game Masses then revolt The fear they will reclaim The engine's running wild Impossible to stop Masses can't decide They will stay as crop A sickening steam is emerging from the pipes -The engine of death This brutal machinery is bound to take some lives -The engine of death It's running on human fuel Spewing black ash and toxic dust Man against machine - a mighty duel A sickening steam is emerging from the pipes -The engine of death This brutal machinery is bound to take some lives -The engine of death

A new day His sinister urge is awakening She's waiting She knows she can't escape, she can't escape the daily pain Count the scars in her eyes Bleeding tears by his lies They say that stick and stones may break her bones But words hurt the most Count the scars in her heart Her blood is used in his art She's used, she's drained, she's a bag of bones Living the life he chose At night time His drunken fist lands in her face She's waiting She knows she must endure, she must endure his boiling hate Count the scars in her eyes Blinded by the sharpest knife They say that stick and stones may break her bones Well, actually they did Count the scars in her heart Her blood is used in his art She's used, she's drained, she's a bag of bones Her life is lost, it faded Some day she will avenge He'll suffer her revenge Sheer domestic violence Count the scars in her eyes Bleeding tears by his lies They say that stick and stones may break her bones But words hurt the most Count the scars in her heart Her blood is used in his art She's used, she's drained, she's a bag of bones Living the life he chose
4.
The world we knew has come to an end Bombs cloud the sky as the destruction begins Death. Hear the screams from the dying race.. The flames feed the holocaust as radiation burns The wind of devastation turns the world into ashes Hell is awaiting us as we realize Earth is no paradise, no paradise for the damned Death. Hear the screams from the dying race..

Wrath 02:14 video
Under submission for a long time For a thousand years My soul is starting to rot My work is done here I've shed my share of blood, sweat and tears I'm leaving this melting pot You come to stop me To convince me that I can't escape I'm tired of being your rat Armored with reasons, threats and lies But It's much too late I'm about to unleash my wrath I won't accept this life A victim of your oppression To be enslaved and sell my soul to the other side Never be your fucking puppet I've tasted your fist And felt your whip burning on my skin I have dealt with the pain The more you hit the more you fuel The anger is boiling within Your failure I will sustain I've been your workhorse And now it's time for this horse to kick your head I'm pounding my way out So step aside, get out of my way If not you'll end up dead Or at least know what true pain is about I won't accept this life A victim of your oppression To be enslaved and sell my soul to the other side Never be you puppet on a string I won't accept this life And fall into a dark depression To be a slave, cast in chains, always forced to hide Buried under bricks of guilt I have tasted your fist I have dealt with the pain Rip my back with your whip The pain is my gain I won't accept this life A victim of your oppression To be enslaved and sell my soul to the other side Never be your puppet on a string I won't accept this life And fall into a dark depression To be a slave, cast in chains, always forced to hide Buried under bricks of guilt
6.
Voice of hate spreads its wings Moves quickly through the air Fueled by greed it sows its seed In weakness and despair Bit by bit, makes you scared shit Of life in "poverty" Just like acid it consumes All morale and dignity Fear is your weapon, it's the key Without it your rule's dead Hate's the glue to seal it all Your defense's now complete To strike first and to strike hard It is your recipe Your voice of hate starts trembling Your doom soon you will meet
7.
Do what you want but don't come near You don't want to see what it's like in here The deepest hole you'll ever see Right in front of you - Inside of me Keeping my cool but there's a war inside my head All living things around me seem to be dead Looking forward to a day that's coming sooner than you know When my ego takes over and lets all my blood flow Follow me down and you will see That self destruction sets me free The longer the way, the harder the fall And down on the bottom you will see me crawl Keeping my cool but there's a war inside my head All living things around me seem to be dead Looking forward to a day that's coming sooner than you know When my ego takes over and lets all my blood flow
8.
High On Hate 00:40
Your pack of wolves is out for blood and looking for an easy pray To fight and slay the innocent, agenda of today So you hate, hate, hate, hate and then you hate some more And then you kick him in the head So you're getting high on hate and violence Looking for a quick fix to get off Never looking back just fall into the ignorance And devote yourself to terror Concrete jungle emperor, you rule your pack with ball and chain You will never stay to rest until some punks are slain So you hit, hit, hit, hit and then you hit some more Until the poor fucker's dead
9.
Pathetic 01:22
Born into this nothingness With the sole goal - to succeed Life hangs by a single thread As we are trying not to feel But to gather all we can Out of proportion to our need To hide within our deepest nests And to never ever give Dead faces Breathing through it's meaningless Aggravated existence From dusk to dawn you spin in shit Your only skill's persistence So you gather all you can Out of proportion to our need To hide within our deepest nests And to never ever give We're robbing We're rotting We're hurting We're feeling At last we feel
10.
A race of rapists, seeing to its needs Gathering with no control Community on speed - Circle of defeat Overpopulated by the human breed On the verge of collapse Too many mouths to feed - Circle of defeat Preparing for the last dance One thousand points to prove - With hate.. Grown out of control Proportions too extreme Play within the circle of defeat Mankind is about to lose..
11.
Like Cattle 01:36
A colony of maggots This place isn't worth its name Useless disgusting creatures You're all the fucking same Govern us like cattle Treating people like dirt But one day it gets back at you The tables will be turned Slow down, give it a minute Put yourself in his shoes He's the one who's hurting He's here to get help from you Don't give him any bullshit He wants to see you burn 'cause one day it get back at you The tables will be turned You can't kill him He won't die This is his choice His last goodbye A colony of maggots You're all the fucking same
12.
Ros 01:25
Flykt - den enda vägen ut När ditt hem satts i brand Och spillroma utav ditt liv Vaskas upp av Sveriges karga strand En ros med taggar av byråkrati De håller dig inspärrad I en bur byggd av demokratins Sönderfallande lera
13.
You're such a whore! Criticism - can't get to you You just don't give a shit It's all for you - nothing for them They'll never see the difference With all hope gone there's just one thing to do Decisions A simple choice to rid ourselves from the likes of you Decisions With all hope gone there's one stand left to make Decisions A simple task, if you've got what it takes Dead but dreaming - your state of mind If you can call it that And would you believe - your time is up Now there are decisions to be made With all hope gone there's just one thing to do Decisions A simple choice to rid ourselves from the likes of you Decisions With all hope gone there's one stand left to make Decisions A simple task, if you've got what it takes You're such a whore Your "loyalty" is a fucking joke Just pure cash flow Seems to me what this is all about You see, to me you're the smallest man to walk this earth A "failure" from birth
14.
Cornered 00:35
Deadlock, stalemate, cornered like an animal Paralyzed but shivering, alone with yourself to fear Cornered like an animal Open vein, blood's drained, just an empty shell of shame Deadlock, stalemate, break the chains you made yourself Cornered like an animal
15.
Strife 01:40
Don't you change a fucking thing These are hostile waters, unbroken lands Shocking truths uncovered within All your prophets are soon to be dead Blood for blood - it ain't always as it seems In your picture perfect society Existing only in your dreams Blood for blood it ain't always as it seems With no violence, hate nor grief Existing only in your dreams No hope for society, it's doomed With the likes of you bringing it to its knees Sucking it dry of humanity Corrupt morale, blind hatred's all there is Blood for blood - it ain't always as it seems In your picture perfect society Existing only in your dreams Blood for blood it ain't always as it seems With no violence, hate nor grief Existing only in your dreams ... There's no hope for society
16.
The Clash 01:30
A cloud of hate draws near tonight I doubt that it will pass So be prepared and stay out of sight Tonight's the night for the clash Society breaks down tonight Streets are colored red Black rain, black hate, black end The ghost of civilization will ascend Black rain, black hate, black end The dust of devastation will descend A battle cry now breaks the night As the tragic fight begins The city streets now a zone for war A play with death where no one wins Society broke down tonight Streets were clouded red Black rain, black hate, black end The ghost of civilization will ascend Black rain, black hate, black end The dust of devastation will descend
17.
Hets 01:26
Vad fan hände med ditt liv och dima drömmar? En strävan efter något onåbart och glatt Ditt skin är piskat, det är slaget så det ömmar All denna satans hets dränker ditt liv i svart Vadå? Ska du lägga dig ned och dö? Utbränd, förbrukad och helt jävla slutkörd - Släng ut liket, väck med skiten! Är detta tacken för allt det du gjort? Slit och släng, slit och släng - in med nästa slav fort - Du måste producera, bit ihop, känn ingen skuld Du känner blickarna, du känner alltid pressen Och du ska motiveras av en klocka utav guld Förtärd av tidens tempo, en slav under stressen Vadå? Ska du lägga dig ned och dö? Utbränd, förbrukad och helt jävla slutkörd - Släng ut liket, väck med skiten! Är detta tacken för allt det du gjort? Slit och släng, slit och släng - in med nästa slav fort Vad fan hände med ditt liv? - Utbränd Vad fan hände med ditt liv? - Slutkörd Hetsen tog över ditt liv!
18.
He'll point out a place where it will happen A spot that people will visit and fear He'll take you there on a rainy day And give you he final decision Never made it further than this Never tried or had the chance Feels like being cut in a thousand pieces Now he's getting closer to his final destiny Closer to the end Closer to the end His last hour is finally here He'll see you on the other side He'll be waiting for you there

Fury 02:36
Reaching for the end, I wouldn't hold my breath Smothered thoughts, all alike, machine-like beings walk on by ...through smoldering remains... Scorched by flames, from the burning cold Mental ice-age, reality postponed When all is said and done, what will be left of you? All signs point toward regression None show the width of their obsession ...the undeniable truth... So weak, so forgotten and so forfeit Without conscience and without faith No beliefs to call your own, their origin remains unknown No equality in present day There's been no progress made You're still here to produce and to consume No equality in present state There's been no progress made And we're all still their slaves Shocking truth, deliverer of pain Better start to move, don't just sit down and drown in shame ...of not doing anything... When the seas calm down But only then will our fury finally sleep Until then this whip will deal out its lashes constantly No equality in present state There's been no progress made And we're all still their slaves And we're all still their slaves
20.
It looks so hard To lie straight into their eyes Just like a robot Only colder, your circuits have been burned I see you walk through fake fires For those you say you love Their hopes built upon a pile of lies Craving justice be done All praise to our mighty leader Self-proclaimed servant of truth The bearer of this holy sword Decapitating the youth I see you walk through fake fires For those you say you love Their hopes built upon a pile of lies Craving justice be done Fight terror with terror...
21.
Vägen som du valt är krokig, skev och sämst Ett steg framåt, två steg bakåt, sen faller du ihop Alla bara garvar och du står där och skäms Kan inte vara lätt att vara världens idiot Ett inflammerat sår Din jävla politik stinker ett ruttet lik Ett inflammerat sår Vi längtar efter dagen då du ruttnar i graven
22.
Surprise, surprise Now you see through all the lies It is there before your eyes The degradation of human lives Is truth on display In papers and on the news today? Is everything OK? Hardly - it's all just a fucking play! What you see is their final cut Real life censored shot by shot So realize that truth is hacked up by knifes Do you trust the news? Do you buy their made up views? Let me ask you: what's the use Of a media you cannot choose? Hail to the TV-screen! So many truths to choose between All the blood and all the screams Collected as deleted scenes What you see is their final cut Real life censored shot by shot So realize that truth is hacked up by knifes Do you trust the news? Do you buy their made up views? Let me ask you: what's the use Of a media you cannot choose? Hail to the TV-screen! So many truths to choose between All the blood and all the screams Collected as deleted scenes

Creature 01:21
The first you see is that cunning smile Then you see what's beyond those shining teeth A wolf in human skin A creature of the night A demon with a sickening thirst Consuming all the light The first you see is that cunning smile Then you see what's beyond those shining teeth A statue made of steel A being that cannot die A demon with a sickening thirst Sucking me dry of life The first you see is that cunning smile Then you see what's beyond those shining teeth
24.
It came alive in the wreckage It broke all shackles ever forged It came so close to the carnage It carried out remains through the visions of silence, starvation and subjugation To bring us back to life To unveil the dark It fought for us in the battles It overpowered every evil force It gave us strength when it mattered It showed the way through the divisions of hatred, damnation and subterfuge To make us whole again To unveil the dark When darkness falls the earth will quake Through the cracks we'll see the light When darkness falls we must awake We can't give up, we have to fight
