The Blow 01:43
A way, to fall, to flush out the pain. Blown, straight, fresh off the pit. Bowed, bent, ride out the dark haste. Fall, bent on the pit. Pain, ride out' the darkness, Fall... They fall right down the drain. Prone, fail, right down the drain. Bow, when your deed lies dead, that ghetto blow, when you fit it down, taste, fraud, fickle, betrayal, muck fake, fragile, betrayal, pain frail, fragile, betrayal, pain fake, frail, betrayal, pain Pledge out of darkness And bring on the blow. A way out' the darkness, The Blow, yeah.
2.
Dissociation 00:48
Give up of your freedom. Anxiety, incarceration. Lashed, Bent and broken. Freeze in terror, silent distress, Close your eyes and you give your life away. Broken! Nothing, Left inside Nothing, But an empty shell. Lashed, Bent and broken. Freeze in terror, silent distress, Close your eyes and you give your life away. Broken!
3.
Prime Cuts 01:10
Last call, One last wakeup call We’ll feast, Until we reach our own fall. Ignoring the chances, We push on the path. Scalping the soil, Sowing the seeds, Of a dead future. Parasitical hunger, Consumes, expands, Feeds the eternal void of man. Last call, One last wakeup call We’ll fight, For the prime cuts of it all. Dig in, Cut off the flesh of the earth, Until there’s nothing, Until there’s nothing, Until there’s nothing, Left but our doom.
4.
Violence 01:40 video
Attraction for hostility, Born from a primal need. Eyes locked in the chase, Entertained by the kill. Spectate from a safe place. Engaged in the drama. Thrilled by the bloodshed. Revel in… Violent instinct satisfied. Human nature, tragedy-fed, gratified. Old hunter, Staring at the game. On one's ruin, Delight, no shame. Fed and fit, No consequence. Violent instinct satisfied. Human nature, tragedy-fed, gratified.
5.
Worth 01:30
Lost, forced end, Tossed down through the floor. Rolled down, curtailed, Told to carry on. Renounced, forsworn, Spat on, crossed out. Lost, forced end, Tossed down through the floor. Lost, left to seek sustenance. Massive failure. Dormant fate. Nurtured, cradled. A fragile state. Forced to bear the memory, Of the glory brought to dust. Once I dreamt Of a better place, With nothing left to fear. No one ever had a care, Once I dreamt, Everything was clear.
6.
Follow 01:23
Pray, Preach, It's just a click. Whole life up for display. Attention is like heroin. Absorb the feed. Consume the stream. Become the trend. Share, the end. I like (Attention) You like (Attention) They like (Attention) We love (Attention)
7.
Primate 00:18
You fucking ape, Shat all over the place, And now you'll have to clean.
8.
Spent 00:33 video
Blast in and feel the game, Buy yourself time, To breach, play the field, As your pace falls. Will you spill your drink on me? No! Can you still take, Can you still confront? They'll yield. They won't see.
9.
Burnout 00:15
Burn out the day, Turn off the torches, Veer off the bright, Pee on the candle! Turn off the light, A day out and night in. Burn out the light, Stay out of the way of the light!
10.
Self 01:20 video
Individual expressions. Authority prospections. Hypocritical assumptions. Righteous defenders, Spitting opinions. Hypocritical, Demanding attention. Uncalled, Self-entitled, Free-delivery, Notions. Judge, Easy to point. Hate, Dressed in virtue. Individual trust, Curse the world, Curse the world. Apathetic host, Trust the words, Trust the words. Authority prospections. Curse the word.
11.
Surge 01:43
Follow the path to the derelict. Glowing to spark the mass. Till your days are numbered, Burnt out! When the glare glows dimmer, Burnt out! That’s blown off proportion, The flaming mass. Highest arrest of unconscious, To hinge off the lies, To read off the signs.
12.
Safe 01:31
Stay safe, Stay put, In your apathy. Hide, For your life. You seek, But you can't find, Refuge and self-indulgence. Lay, On your back. Wait… Take your time! Keep waiting... Another day... Keep waiting... It will come! Just, One more time. Sweet, Taste of apathy!
13.
Mogul 01:17
You like the attention. You crave and you savor it. You like the control. Maneuver and slither among us. Traitor! Talk in vague words. Count in vague numbers. Ask vague questions. Hate with dumb beliefs. Puppetry, Mind Control, Culture of Fear, Taking over. Conquer! Master's building up, A wall of hate. Taking all control, Of those blind poor fucks. Get them all those jobs, that you promised. Feed them all those lies, Feed them those big, those big lies.
14.
Behold 01:08
We reached the end of time. Fuck this life, the end is nigh. They say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see, The decay in the dirt beneath our feet. (Denial) A conspiracy to suit your needs. (Betrayal) Misfortune of a generation. Who cares? Aren't we all doomed anyway? So why? (Denial) A conspiracy to suit your needs. (Betrayal) Misfortune of a generation! (Denial) A conspiracy to suit your needs. (Betrayal) Misfortune of a generation.
15.
Yellow 01:46
Push it in, Push it in down my throat. The lies you feed, Always believe, Push it in down my throat. The harm you've done, You've no regret, Manipulation and disgust. Push it in, (Push it in) Push it in, Push it in down my throat. Your putrid breath, Your craven teeth, Your contaminating speech, Push it in, Push it in, Push it in down my throat. The pain, we suffer, We want it, no more. You take it back, you'll take it back, We are yours, no more. Push it in, Push it in, Push it in down my throat.
16.
Thrive 01:40
Death, Cadence. Stale mornings, can't get out of bed. Loaded shackles, Mantles made of lead. "Strike first and Strike hard and Let them pick up the pieces" But the show is old, And the will is slow. And for every hit that lands, The air flows thicker. The climax never came. Automated routine, In which we all take part. Death, Cadence. The perfect storm was never there, Yet we continue to dance. Our favorite number is none, Our favorite color is dead. Dance to the cadence of death.
17.
Machine 00:50
Trapped inside a world of rust, I make my way through the off-road. Try to keep myself awake, In every single way. Drones surround, A buzzing sound. It's hard to breathe, I clench my teeth. I can't escape! I'm losing! Consumed by the turmoil, I still feel the recoil. Assimilation is completed, I have become conceited. I am the Machine!

Combining the vibrance and catchiness of heavy thrash metal, the punch of hardcore and sheer density of grindcore, “Surge” pushes you into a steep fall only to propel you forward the next instant.

9/10 by Metal Temple
www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/b_2/bas-rotten-surge.htm

"Shit, this record is going to hit you hard. I warn you!"
- GRINDER MAGAZINE

"The new Bas Rotten album Surge is a rocking sonic fist of fury! Yo Bas Rotten – you really pushed my wig back with this one!"
- Sean Reveron - CVLT NATION

"When you hear the term crossover you think of flip-up hats, cut off short donning heshers, and partying with brews by the pool, but Bas Rotten have concocted a crossover album unlike any other; mixing heavy hardcore punk sometimes edging between two-step and dbeat, with grindcore blasts. This album is a real gut punch and will send you reeling. Surge tips its hat at one minute to ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and DRI, and to SPAZZ and NO COMMENT at the next. What a time to be alive!"
- WILL BUTLER (TO LIVE A LIE RECORDS)
