"destraum et aedificabo"
(I destroy, and I rebuild)
Each and every day we are forced to bear witness to this monstrosity.
An existence born of oppression and fed by obedience.
We call for its destruction.
We call for an end to domination and advocate true liberty.
We shall destroy and we shall rebuild.
We do not fear the ruins of this empire, nor have we ever feared them.
For it is upon ruins that a better world shall be built.
A better world is possible.
-Built to Destroy, 2007
We are that band who believes that never thought much of writing hooks to make girls swoon.
Who are likely to scream "we started a metal band to break shit, not to stand around and do photo shoots!" at the most inappropriate times.
Who will never write a song that would ever please some fucker who runs a focus group.
Who believe "Civilization" is a dirty four-letter word.
Who only print t-shirts with thinly-veiled threats printed on them.
Who see the beauty in a minimum-wage snarls and whispers of "the bosses need us, we don't need the bosses."
Who have failed to find a more perfect afternoon than sitting around with some beer, ice cream, plenty of smokes, and South of Heaven on repeat.
Who encourage the widespread initiation of a variety of criminal activities.
Who are probably too wordy for their own good.
...and who would rather get drunk and scream at the top of our lungs than get on stage and pretend we are anything more than lifelong nerds with axes to grind.
