Blind in the dark. Bring order control the flock
Lead another one, breed another one… Lies!
Dominate their simple lives
Lines in the sand. Gorge themselves from their hands
Feed another one seed another one... Lies!
Repeating all of their lines
Like them! Hate them! Fight them! We’ll win!
There will be no compromise!!!
Filled with pride there will be no compromise!
You decide on which side you’ll fall in line
Filled with pride there will be no compromise
World decline. Refusing to see through the lies
Our world is in total decline!
Take a side, repeat all the lines
World decline. These are the final times
Take a side, repeating all the lines
When there is no compromise
These lies destroy our lives
These are the final times
Take heed in what they say. Learn from our yesterdays
It’s time to make a stand. Their world is in our hands!
Righteousness fuels your hatred
Religion frees the guilt
Worship the god of certainty
Tailored to fit your bank account
Omnipotent is your world view
Hide beyond walls of wealth
Outsiders are not welcome
Unless they obey your every will
Brainwashed and trained to serve your every will
Your greed knows no borders
The wars have primed the wells
Suck dry the pure resources
Leave behind a rotting shell
Ignore the pen of history
Despite the hand it’s held
The uprising is preventable
As is your fucking nuclear hell
Such benevolent filth!
Filth!!!
Such benevolent filth!
Disconnected from reason
Concerned just for themselves
Unsympathetic position
Without even a thought on how it impacts
Short sighted bigotry the blindfold is tied
Corrupted security blanket of lies
No care for the wake behind or the created divide
Enclose the circle of sympathy. No empathy for all outside
Obsessed with their security
Another brick in the wall
Obscenity of purity
Just pure contempt for all left beyond
Short sighted bigotry the blindfold is tied
Corrupted security blanket of lies
An ignorant legacy is all the world will recall
Bloated superiority will be exposed when the shadow begins to fall
False sense of supremacy
No! No land can be sterilized
No! No words will bring compromise
No! No willingness to empathize
No! No way to live when you’re paralyzed
Lies! No innocence is dying
Pride! The catalyst dividing
Blind devotion to a faith that breeds such vermin
Mice recoil when the sanctum has been lifted. Run!
Run! Cower!
Into your straw lined hole
Devour! Consume is all you know
Shallow! this life that you…
Tie the blindfold an ignorance so inviting
Die and suffer in wars that are not worth fighting
Lines are drawn the spoils are divided
Crimes ignored the unceasing reprisal. Why?!
Thin the herd, fail to learn from our past
Fail to learn, thin the herd. Wars are cast
Thin the herd, fail to learn. World collapse
Run! Cower!
Into your straw lined hole
Devour! Consume is all you know
Shallow! This life that you sow
Lies! No innocence is dying
Pride! The catalyst dividing
Blind devotion to a faith that breeds such vermin
Mice recoil when the sanctum has been lifted. Run!
Your blind devotion and
the ignorance that binds you,
manifests my scorn
Your fear is a fallacy! Embrace reality
Oppose the governing state in power to manipulate
Stand tall and wave the flag. As wars fill body bags
Don’t question what’s at hand put faith in their command. No!
Hatred’s a cancer! Scapegoat the answer
A nationalistic pride with outrage that’s designed
Metastasizing! Violent uprising
Controlled by what you hear
Fueled by all your fears. No!
Your pride is suffocating
Ignorance advocating
Silence the voice of reason and stay in line!
Our world disintegrating
Stockpiles intimidating
Free thought is the contagion threatening their power!
Denial, blame and rage
The cards are in play
Concerned pacifists learn
Patriotic loyalists turn
Another hopeless victim of identitarianism
Enraged lives have been trained
It’s easy when the mind’s enslaved
Resist the anarchy of this mentality
Empathy and love the answer
In a world of pain and anger. Rise!
Hatred’s a cancer! Scapegoat the answer
A nationalistic pride with outrage that’s designed
Metastasizing! Violent uprising
Controlled by what you hear
Fueled by all your fears
Fucking rise!
It’s time to rise above all the fucking lies!!!
about
"As long as the general population is passive, apathetic,and diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome." - Noam Chomsky
“Political tensions in the world are running high, and Culled want you to know that they’re not down with it. Combining their searing take on the state of the world with a sludgy grind assault, Culled back their statements with tight songwriting and aggressive performance. On their debut album Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn, Culled wrap angular grindcore in thick sludge, spitting out blasts, mosh parts and distinctive vocals that reflect the band’s disgusted mindset.”

“Sludge grind is one of those things that shouldn't really exist and yet somehow Culled make it work. They sound absolutely colossal on their new track "Contagion," a nearly nine-minute epic that manages to combine everything that makes the band great. The stop/start madness and dynamic interplay of this song speaks to the band's talent as songwriters. Meanwhile, the guitar tone alone speaks volumes to what this band has come to represent. With punk fringes on some truly punishing tracks, it's hard not to be fascinated by the morbid horror of the band. The lead single, 'Contagion,' is a mesmerizing ode. It comes from their upcoming LP, Thin The Herd, Fail To Learn, due out October 26th on Hibernation Release. It's hard to balance two genres that seem so diametrically opposed whilst simultaneously sneaking in moments of pure explorations into the sublime. Experimental, genre bending and clearly forward thinking, 'Contagion' is a triumph for a rising force.”

“Alberta-based grinders Culled embrace all things grimy on their debut full-length, Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn. Much like fellow Canadian forward-thinkers WAKE and Fuck the Facts, Culled embrace grindcore’s lineage while pushing beyond the genre’s typical tropes. The quartet infuse their interpretation of grindcore with jarring discordance and elements of caustic sludge; a sound that is then fully fleshed out by intricate songwriting that demands more showtime than the genre typically lends its songs. Couple these unyielding stretches of chaotic instrumentation with relevant sociopolitical lyrical themes and listeners have quite the physical and cerebral beating in store for them…
…Culled‘s Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn is an extremely solid debut recording that points to greater things in the future for these gentlemen.”

“Edmonton, AB grind outfit Culled push the boundaries of the genre on their debut full-length, Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn. The quartet incorporate slow, sludgy grooves and doom-laden riffs into their discordant grindcore, resulting in a contrast of sounds that is jarring yet complementary… Thin the Herd, Fail to Learn is an impressive debut that showcases a battle of conflicting sounds throughout its 25-minute runtime. What makes it work is Culled's thoughtful approach to song composition and structure, along with socio-political lyrical content to match the angst-filled emotions that their music emanates.”

Culled started in early 2017 with the intention of embracing the contrast of slow crushing sludge and doom riffs with the
blistering speed and chaos of grindcore ripe with messages of peace, and love that implore the need for empathy in today's unpredictable and unstable political climate.
Mathy, cacophonous and angular, Culled sound like the pangs of the industrial complex working overtime....more
Heavy as fuck with the biggest hearts! We've been very lucky to share the stage with them multiple times, each time they have been awesome and really supportive! Culled
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
