THEN THEY CAME...
Feed Them Broken Teeth
HOMELESS SPIKES IN AN EMPTY PARK, IT'S FINE DESTROYING, REVOKING UNIONS OF LOVE, IT'S FINE FORCED PARASITE CULTIVATION, IT'S FINE ABDUCTING, CORRALLING HUMAN BEINGS, IT'S FINE IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU, YOU'RE SAFE IF YOU JUST PLAY ALONG NICELY COMPLY, IGNORE, REJECT, ACT LIKE A GOOD DOG YOU'LL SURELY AVOID THE SAME FATE BUT WHAT NEXT? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF FUEL? SOON IT'S YOU WHO FEELS THE SWIFT KICK OF THE BOOT YOU YELP, LIMPING BUT NONE ARE LEFT TO COME HELP YOU THEY'RE DEAD, GONE, ABANDONED IN THE WAKE OF YOUR APATHY THE CHAIN CHOKES YOUR THROAT YOU PUSH THE SPOKE HARDER GIVEN LESS SCRAPS EACH DAY PROFIT MAXIMIZED UNTIL YOU STARVE THE BOOMERANG RETURNS, IT'S NOT FINE YOUR FINGERS SLICED TO BONE, IT'S NOT FINE THEY GUT YOU AND BLEED YOU, IT'S NOT FINE WORKED TILL YOU JOIN THE BODIES, IT'S NOT FINE IT NEVER WAS

The second album from FEED THEM BROKEN TEETH, following and building on the groundwork set by 2025’s ON THE DISFIGURATION OF MAN. Between albums, we hear the perspective shift from before to after the final curtain raise of fascism, witnessing the collapse of the empire in real time.

In this album, the journey continues into the inevitable self-consumption of fascist empire, the rot and poison on the masses to facilitate this reign, and the sacrifices to perform in the name of a new god. The old, false one, capital, must have its very memory condemned for the sake of survival.

Digital download comes with a PDF booklet in 3000x4000 resolution.

Written & recorded April-December 2025
