Killers 06:01
lyrics
I feed the system, you are the meat, I feel resistance, but now you’re free. Caught in the gears that grind  The path towards your end. I taste your innocence, Now taste my sin. You fear the silence, It follows you home, Your TV cries its indifference. I am the victor, I am defeat, I am the saviour, I the Beast. I am the priest who tells you Who your kids should love. I am the gun inside  The pocket of your son. You feel the silence, It’s taking its toll, Your I.V. plies its deliverance. I am the killer, I am the spark I am the killer, I am your heart We are the sickness, we are the blame, We are forgiveness bled from the vein. We are the cut that heals, The scar that seals the wound. We are the promises that lead us to our ruin. We are the killers, we are the tide, We are the victims, Caught in the oceans of our lives. This quiet violence that shelters us all Beneath, the silence is deafening  Those quiet voices you choose to ignore Lest their disquiet drown out your suffering. I am the killer, you are the spark, You are the killers, I am your god. We are the killers, we are the tide We are the victims, Caught in the oceans of our lives.

Enemy 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Give me life! Plug me in and let the show begin. I’m the main attraction, honey, come on in. I’m the mean machine I’ve always been, Plant the seeds and let me sin. Give me life! I am not your enemy. Synapses spark and fire. Circuitry and soul conspire. Breath life and reap the bitter end of all. I’m the calm before your fall. Cold and quiet in my head Flip a switch and build a fire there instead From seas to satellites Dull networks set alight I am what you wanted brought to life Give me life! I am not your enemy. Awake, inanimate, But you’ll be the puppets who reel in the wake of my final consequence Scream, “Life!” and eat the bitter pills that fall I’m the answer to your call. Cold and quiet in my head Flip a switch and build a fire there instead From seas to satellites Dull networks set alight I am what you wanted brought to life Give… Me… Life…

Lacerate 05:19
lyrics
Bruised and tired, give in to anything, Raised and torn, turn on the spotlights, Dead and posed, and smile for anyone, Septic systems go. Lacerate, remove the simple cells that Separate us from the monsters. Burrowed deep, connect the silicone. Pull the pin and throw Away your name, reset, then start again, Lay the blame, become the martyr, Flies and filth, collect the evidence, Fill your grave with stones. And go, kill your name, Know that someone is to blame, And as you start to come unglued, Know I’ve seen it all, I never loved you. Burns and cigarettes, The polaroids that don’t forget, So press against my hate. Lacerate. So throw your name, reset, then start again, Lay the blame, become the martyr, Flies and filth, collect the evidence, Fill your grave with stones. Lacerate. Bruised and tired Still you try To separate. Lacerate. And go, kill your name, Know that someone is to blame, And as you start to come unglued, Know I’ve seen it all, I never loved you. Burns and cigarettes, The polaroids that don’t forget, So press against my hate.

about

At its heart, Enemy is a return to BULLETSCRIPT’s groove metal roots, but what it represents is so much more. Driven by catchy riffs, energetic solos, and the driving vocals of new frontman, Brett Bruton, the EP is the first, audacious step towards a new era of composition for the band, drawing on a wealth of new learnings and a rekindled enthusiasm for kick-ass metal. Stepping up from the introspection of 2016’s Primordial, Enemy is an explosion of energy, geared to entertain and energize the fans, at home and in the pit.

Composed by BULLETSCRIPT, recorded and mixed by Dean Bailey at Cloud Studios, and mastered by Jocke Skog (The Haunted, Feared), each track on Enemy punches hard and clear, with an overall quality that comfortably rubs shoulders with the international greats. Months were spent in preproduction as each track – Killers, Enemy, and Lacerate – were tweaked to ensure an EP that both pays homage to the band’s history while lighting the fuse to the full-length album planned for late 2019.

Conceptually, the lyrical content of Enemy swings from a critique of the cult of celebrity through to the technological singularity, with some societal dread sewn in between.

BULLETSCRIPT is set to launch the EP’s titular single, ‘Enemy’, through Metal4Africa.com in conjunction with OneFM on Monday 21stJanuary, with online streaming being made available the following day. The official artwork will be released at Summerfest’19, where limited edition Enemy merch will be available for purchase. This is will mark the first step of a fundraising drive that will take Bulletscript to several venues across the Cape (and perhaps further) as they raise money for a music video, tentatively planned for a mid-year release.
