In March 2020, Western civilization was shut down by a virulent SARS pandemic. Meanwhile, Growlers Choir stayed online to deliver their 2nd second. 7 months later, on October 29th,"Hate.Machine" was released to the world.
Hate.Machine was thought out in 2012. After viewing a ridiculously flamboyant Fox Channel news report on the violence of Internet culture, Growlers Choir founder and composer Pierre-Luc Senécal set out to create a piece, one that would portray a horrible machine, dedicated to the corruption of everything that exists. Laid to rest for almost 8 years, Hate.Machine appeared as a necessary addition to Growlers Choir's catalogue. After the tenebrous and ambient "The Dayking", there was a need for something fierce, fast and resolutely more metal. Growlers Choir is proud to have delivered on its promise.
lyrics
Be!
Behold!
Behold!
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine!
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Woua - hm - a - a - hm - hm - a - a
Eternal sacrifice
to the Infernal Rage Device.
Worship the obscene.
Bow before the Hate Machine!
Ten thousand meters high with tentacles of steel.
One bi-llion gears and coils made out of bone and gore.
Earth quakes under its weight, the Behemoth in plate.
Parasitic cyborg on arthropodic legs.
Furnace, stinking of forge exhale poisonous fumes.
Caustic drool made of fuel seeping through rows of fangs.
Iron jaws, iron breath oozing the stench of blood.
Glass eyes recording hate carved into screens of flesh.
Images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine!
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine!
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine!
Eating, feeding, masticating, devouring inside out,
Chewing, chomping, puking you then eating you back!
Tearing, shredding, mutilating, disfiguring purity,
Tainting, soiling, fouling, and corrupting your soul.
Kneeling and pleading and begging and bleeding and
crying and wailing, this rage device craves.
Preys, mob around in the shade of your predator,
Pray and implore that your God brings you hate.
“Eat us, digest us, then eat us again through your
Bowels of barbed wire dripping with smut.”
Wretched tears mixed up with baby blood,
Pulverized bone powder, semen mold and blackened sludge.
Bow low and frolic in reeking pain!
This rig of spite has you wanting for more.
Worshippers, amass!
Lay your sacrifice.
Behold your own demise.
Adore the hate device!
Titanium oxidized
Corroded by the slime.
Eating, feeding, masticating!
Kneel. Beg. Cry.
Bow. Plead. Bleed!
Titanium oxidized
Corroded by the slime.
Tainting, soiling, all corrupting.
Kneel. Beg. Cry.
Before this hate device.
All shall scream !
Bow. Plead. Bleed.
Breathe in the reeking pain.
Inside, die !
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
The images should make you scream.
Desensitized by what you’ve seen,
You revel in the filth of fiends,
A product of the Hate Machine.
Eating, feeding, masticating, devouring inside-out,
Chewing, chomping, puking you then eating you back!
Tearing, shredding, mutilating, disfiguring purity,
Tainting, soiling, fouling, and corrupting your soul.
“Hate Machine,
You’re in us all!
To you we call.
For you we crawl.”
“Hate Machine,
Devour us.
You are the Faith.
We are your cause.
You are despised
As you are loved.
Turn on yourself.
Self-destruct now!”
Static in hives,
Drives overdrive,
Engines unhinged,
Processors fry.
Mechanized lungs
Bursting with pus.
Boiling oil gushes
into its guts.
Tentacles mad
Piercing the plate.
Alloyed flesh
Flayed from its chest.
Veins spewing blood,
Torn cables spark,
Fire alight
High as the sky.
From the torn screen,
Through shards of meat,
Venoms spew thick.
Masses shall feast!
