Lyrics:
“'The Generation Of Danger' is a concept album about a genius scientist who gets fed up with being swept under the rug. After the multi-billion-dollar corporation that employs him takes credit for his latest, award-winning invention, he snaps and retaliates against them by forcing them to take part in the greatest experiment the world of science has ever seen.”
Tallah's cruelly ferocious new album 'The Generation Of Danger', due for release on 18 November 2022 via Earache Records and recorded once more with producer Josh Schroeder at Random Awesome Studio, will only serve to extend their fascinatingly dark nu-core metal further into the metal community, continuing to build the beast Tallah have created and set loose.
Max Portnoy says of the new album: “'The Generation Of Danger' is a new era for Tallah’s music. We’ve gotten overall heavier with this album, while tapping into elements that we’ve never experimented with before. There’s a lot of new sounds and songwriting here to showcase what else we can do without sacrificing the heaviness or core sound that we established with 'Matriphagy'.”
Justin continues: “'The Generation Of Danger' is a completely new and fresh concept for us, both lyrically and instrumentally. We wanted to take what made 'Matriphagy' so good and jack it up to 150%. The tracks are monstrous, daunting, and the story the music tells dives into the idea of people hiding what they truly desire until someone else comes along and forces it to surface."
As with 'Matriphagy', 'The Generation Of Danger' offers fans more than just an album of pioneering nu-core metal. Whilst it will most certainly be lauded for Justin's acclaimed aptitude for embodying numerous characters and emotions in his outstanding vocal shape-shifting, celebrated for its breathtakingly turbulent dynamics and exemplified for the way it melds the ever-blossoming ingenuity of Tallah's intrepid musicians, 'The Generation Of Danger' will reward those who delve deeper into the album and its supplementary content.

LYRICS:
When everyone can see, then everyone will believe!
That’s all it takes—that’s all it takes
-A bulletproof plan
I have the power to bring back the dead and the sour
They’ll write me back in as the hero
O’ I’ll have no equal!
-A stereotypical fantasy
But woe is me!
The funny thing’s that I can’t put it into words
You could ever relate to
I did my work in the corner,
And I shit where I ate,
And though dozens of good men have passed,
You’re fixed, fixed, fixed!
I threw it back to no one
-They were just out of reach
Keep on sleeping, but you’ll never dream a thing
‘Cause there’s nothing in your heart
But the image of yourself
That is the reason we’re here
Next time, don’t pretend to be something you’re not!
And now Dicker’s done
Well, hurt’s a funny thing
We’re dumb by nature,
And we’re never gonna’ grow
-Just a frog in the headlights of a dump truck
It’ll run you down when you’ve nowhere left to go
The beginning of the end comes fast,
So you say the same line a billion times
Like it’s ever gonna’ make you feel different...
Shut the fuck up and go stand on your mark!
It’s personal now
With the sick, I freak out
I’m a prick with a blackened thumb,
And I’ll stick it in your mouth
On the off-chance it could mentally fuck you up
I’m no hero
I came here to snack on your bones
And to nest in your earholes
Darkness beckons me!
You won’t see when it comes
You’ll just be misery
I threw it back to no one
-They were just out of reach
Keep on sleeping, but you’ll never dream a thing
‘Cause there’s nothing in your heart
But the image of yourself
That is the reason we’re here
Next time, don’t pretend to be something you’re not!
And now Dicker’s done!
You crossed the road
Took the permanent passport to nowhere
-The amphibian hops on
You crossed the road
Took the permanent passport
Denial’s a symptom of loss
What the fuck do you think you have lost?
Life hops on
It hops on
It hops on
It hops on and on and on and on
I threw it back to no one
-They were just out of reach
Keep on sleeping, but you’ll never dream a thing
‘Cause there’s nothing in your heart
But the image of yourself
That is the reason we’re here
Next time, don’t pretend to be something you’re not!
And now Dicker’s done!
Life hops on
It hops on
It hops on and on and on and on and on
