“The idea of trying to spread peace around the world with bombs and guns is one of the most bizarre aspects of the human race. Some of us are raised with love, and a subtle hint of hate for others. This song features heavy and catchy guitar riffs, with plenty of sing-along vocal parts. The track includes layers of samples and pitched-down guitar, giving the breakdown a distinct feel compared to the rest of the songs on the album. ‘Only the dead see the end of war—a haunting anthem of vengeance.’” - Lifesick
LIFESICK was forged in Fredericia, Denmark in 2015. After three full-lengths of increasing weight and intensity, 2023’s Life And Other Lies EP brought the band’s sobering death/metallic hardcore to Metal Blade Records, where they have come of age with the kaleidoscopic fury and ironclad gloom of Loved By None, Hated By All.
As with previous offerings, the LP was recorded by Jacob Bredahl at his Dead Rat facility. This time Bredahl’s role expanded beyond engineering, helping to shape and revise new material before twiddling a single knob. “He came down to our rehearsal room where we played all the songs for him live, so he could add his touch to each song or edit stuff that we might have been a little blind to from playing the songs too much. This was the first time we did this, and it was very effective.”
Mixing was farmed out to Taylor Young at The Pit, “to give it a different touch or nuance from our previous releases,” while the tracks were handed to noise collective John Cxnnor, “to enhance the album with sound design and samples throughout every song, to better unify the album. We provided them with all the songs, along with keywords about the lyrical themes and the album artwork. With this information, they created unique dark industrial samples that perfectly fit the songs and our vision for the album.”
The results ring loud and clear from this tumultuous masterwork of bleak aggro beauty. Loved By None, Hated By All is unquestionably the band's finest recording to date which is no easy feat considering the compulsive force of previous releases -- there is some special spark of magic at work here.
LYRICS:
War!
Prepare for fucking war!
Fueled by hatred
Powered by steel
Mindset on vengeance
Kill, kill, kill!
Crawling through your windows
Hungry for a thrill
Don’t make a fucking sound
Die or stay still
We'll sniff until we find you
Someone's gonna die
Better hug and get some closure
While everyone’s alive
The piper sings
The cannons roar
Only the dead
Have seen the end of war
And this nightmare
Nightmare
Life is a fucking nightmare
Nightmare, nightmare
Nightmare, nightmare
Nightmare, nightmare
Nightmare
Peace through violence
Barrel to your neck
Fear as a weapon
Sniff them out like pigs
Welcome Armageddon
Fueled by hatred
Powered by steel
Mindset on vengeance
Kill, kill, kill!
KILL, KILL, KILL!
