about

Frontman Jessy Switchblade shares that “This is the only song on the album that actually follows the Deadline / Lady Blitzkrieg / San Lombardo story. The song is a metaphor for power and elitism and revolves around a weapons and armaments corporation in the city of San Lombardo called Vitriol Inc run by the very corrupt Judge Mental, acting mayor of San Lombardo. It is a full on raging thrasher with a very melodic chorus and a very beautiful movie noir piece in the middle. Inspired by Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets’, it fits perfectly with our new sound and direction and will be the final single of this album run before we release the actual album, Vitriol Inc."

lyrics

Cyanide city looks for answers in our skies
Kill or be killed, establish fear, and equalize
Take the pill
This is not a drill
Power guaranteed
Robot warriors, built to impede

Engage
With rage
If you want peace, prepare for war

We are pure vitriol
The fight is here and visceral
This is our corporation of complete retaliation
Advance today, engage and vanquish the weak

Defcon city high on fire, high on dreams
Burn or be burnt, voracious evil, deadly screams
We want your soul
Time to enrol
Wicked and elite
We are superior, we won’t retreat

Respect
Protect
If you want peace, prepare for war

We are pure vitriol
The fight is here and visceral
This is our corporation of complete retaliation
Advance today, engage and vanquish the weak

We fire the shots
We are rule of law
The only response
Stronger than never ever before
Than never ever before
Stronger than never ever before
