The New Firing-squad

Nasum · Inhale/Exhale [1998]

They pull the trigger, they aim to kill

Exam - condemn - destroy! They do it all for the excitement



They'll come when you least expect it

- The new firing-squad!



He pulled his trigger, he aimed to his head

Examined - condemned - destroyed! He did it all for salvation



They came when he least expected it

- The new firing-squad!

The New Firing-squad

Released during a pivotal era for the band, the recording showcases their signature blend of extreme speed, distorted guitars, and aggressive vocals that would become hallmarks of their discography. The song reflects the chaotic energy and thematic darkness prevalent in their work from the late 90s, serving as a powerful testament to the band's influence on the extreme metal scene. It remains a staple for fans of the genre, embodying the relentless pace and visceral impact that characterized Nasum's early output.
