“Blood For Blood” was written by guitarist Guthrie and collaborated with vocalist Carl, with the lyrical content. The song was inspired by true life encounters from the war in Afghanistan. Guthrie is a war vetran and relives his experiences of loss and grieve through this piece of fast paced Thrash Metal. The song carries plenty of emotion, which can be felt throughout. Mixed up with Carl’s take on more current political affairs within South Africa, just to add to how pissed off the band is.
The artwork is inspired by the current epidemic faced in our country, the ongoing murder of our farmers, while the government turns a blind eye. The picture is that of a real gravesite of murdered farmers.
We have dedicated the song in tribute to not only the farmers but their workers and all whose lives are affected. As well as all the women who are being beaten and killed and to the children who are being trafficked, all on our governments watch.
The song was not written for this intent and is merely a tribute. We wish to raise awareness and expose what is truly going on in our country. It is not intended to incite hatred or violence by it’s title and lyrical content - we are not calling for bloodshed, we pay homage.
