All for disobedience For as long as it breeds under a familiar collective crest All for treachery Simultaneously betraying both the was, is and will be All for disobedience For as long as it shows under an abided collective smirk Self surrender / pseudo pleasure Self abandon through identification Choose to chew what you know Choose to chew nothing new Chosen to choose Superficiality is a treason against everything Superficiality is the reason for your downfall Superficiality is treason For as long as it shows under an abided collective spite

Our Life does not live As you self mutilate to preserve Your nothingness complete As you self initiate to the cult of subservience Our Damaged lives Minima moralia

But who Is being entertained? And who is really being amused in a place of amusement? Undemanding docility Has Made some silent and some deaf Sheer incommunicability A scream from behind the scrim Displeasure in pleasure But who Is being entertained? And who is really being abused in a place of amusement?

“I don’t say the things I say because they are what I think, I say them as a way to make sure they no longer are what I think” “The universality of our knowledge has been acquired at the cost of exclusions, bans, denials, rejections, at the price of a kind of cruelty with regard to reality” “And so I don’t say the things I say because they are what I think, but rather I say them with the end in mind of self-destruction, precisely to make sure that they are no longer what I think. To be really certain that from now on, outside of me, they are going to live a life or die in such a way that I will no longer have to recognize myself in them”

Vulgarisation and enchantment Acquiescence is our new form of modesty Opposition made a fetish of a dull caprice Vulgarisation and enchantment The social compact Harmonises the contradiction Vulgarisation and enchantment

All is illusionary Except liquidation of individuality Extreme mainstream The Underworld unveiled As a treason against your freedom The underworld unveiled Capitulates to the power of banal The underworld unveiled Stigma and dogma: all the same The underworld unveiled Upward and Upstream!

Predetermined dynamics with no space for any tension at all and spontaneity sacrificed to fixation A flawlessly functioning machine, its cogwheels meshing so perfectly (that) not the slightest hole remains open for the meaning of the whole As we like and dislike Whether we like or not, We barbarically sustain our idiotic yearning for more Reification of the abstract, bastardization of a concept (our) idiotic yearning for more As we like and dislike Whether we like or not, We barbarically sustain our idiotic yearning for more

about

"Both an electrifying and unsettling experience, capable of turning your mind inside-out and wrecking mayhem on your frail skeleton" (No Clean Singing)

"FFO: People shooting semi automatic machine guns at a orchestra rehearsal" (Machine Music)

"This album is as destructive as it is thought provoking" (Moshpit Nation)

"Like a death metal Hieronymous Bosch" (Slow Dragon Music)

"Successfully marrying the most radical forms of sound manipulation" (The New Noise)

"A place where the word "extreme" has a proper meaning, where the mind perceives discomfort, where there are no such concepts as "harmony" (Rrazzorr)

"Probably one of my favorite albums of the year so far. It's a bold, jarring, and unconventional journey" (Sleeping Village Reviews)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Negative” is the my third full-length album with FEED THEM DEATH.

The Album is the apex of my personal research into the realm of non-conformity in music, coming to complete and fully realize a body of work with which my intent was to deconstruct and remodel various influences into something unique, terrifying and dissonant.

The simplicity of the title "Negative", in its attempt to be concisely iconic, is only apparent as the album borrows much of its narrative apparatus from the writings of Theodor Adorno, and especially those relating to the commoditization of art (and modern music too, be it pop or underground) within the cogwheels of consumerism.

This process of “negative dialectic” functions as a backdrop of negation against the sad spectacle of the modern world, with the aim of unfolding and revealing the disingenuousness of so-called creativity within a society built to tame individuality.

The artwork is perfectly symbiotic with the music: aesthetically minimalistic, austere and raw, however also extremely powerful. It was created by renowned Australian photographer Sophie Gabrielle: the image was photographed a manifold of times, with its negatives sunk in polluted water and then dried allowing microbes to eat away at the negative itself, so that it could reveal details otherwise impossible to see, and making the invisible visible.

THANK YOU NOTES

As you may or may not know FTD is a solo project, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, would exist of “Negative” without the help of my very own noise-brigade.

So MASSIVE thanks to:

Davide Destro (LaColpa, MacabroDio) for putting extra and indispensable layers of noise in tracks number 4 and 5.
Derhead, for singing and helping me write track 4.
Davide Tavecchia and Twilight Studio, for doing such a great job making sense of my sonic madness.
Giorgio Barroccu, for being the best label partner / producer.
Giuseppe Fancellu (Sscvlt) for designing the t-shirts and the inlays.
Alessandro Atzori (Acherontia Atropos Inc.) for making the best video for me.

Above all, thanks for all of you for your support.
