Fuck your world, fuck your norms, fuck your authority: it’s time to respect the real and say fuck the system! I can’t stop blasting MORTA’s Life Is War, War Is Now! This band lays down 6 blistering tracks that are gnarly AF. They are masters at balancing the feral rage of Death Metal with the urgent call to arms of Hardcore Punk. As the sonic winds of their song “Hivemind” blow though my mind, I can’t help but think about the destruction of our fucked up society!
On a crash course of destruction / Where insanity thrives / The mental war that we endure / Belittled and beaten as they feast / We worship the river floods / Rampant with blood / This is viewed as normalcy / Evil has been within us from birth / There’s no truth behind the veil from what eyes see / Blood runs through the rivers into our streams and they host / Pouring in Celebratory / Higher powers are in control / We’ve sacrificed ourselves / Herding us as cattle / Our skins ripped from bones / We’ve entered their realm / Shackled up in fear / My insanity thrives / Through a feeling / Hosting those of souls deprived.
– MORTA “Hivemind”
Within their riffs, you can hear the dismantling our the power structure that wants to keep us all deaf, dumb, and motherfucking BLIND! MORTA is a band that creates killer Death Metal through the lens of Hardcore. Honestly, my brain cells can’t stop stage diving as I blast “Soul Dwell,” because the morbid groove is so infectious!
Terror has found itself in my sleep / Tell me we’re not living in a dream / Reality as cold as can be / Wrapped its hands around my throat / Tell me what do you see / Soul dwell / A world so cold / A harsh reality / It’s taken you and me / Dwell / Amongst our sanity / Come dwell in the depths with me / Dwell
– MORTA “Soul Dwell”
Don’t get it twisted, everything about Life Is War, War Is Now fucking rocks! I want the band to know that we are fans, and now we want the rest of world to know that MORTA is the motherfucking BOMB!
