CHUGGER is a groove metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, successfully fusing the signature Gothenburg metal sound with the groove of American southern metal. Since the start in 2012, CHUGGER has been crushing Europe with their brutal sound and intense stage performance, comparable to acts like Lamb of God, Gojira and Arch Enemy.
Fast forward to 2017, CHUGGER released their horror movie homage 'Grinder', produced by Robert Kukla of Studio Haga and mixed and mastered by Christian Svedin. 'Grinder' was simultaneously released as a video brought to life by René U. Valdes and Greenworks Television. Together with a great crew of talented makeup and gore artists the video paid homage to classics like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.
In 2018 the death machine hit the stages again following the release of their new single 'Through Suffering Reborn', once again produced by Robert Kukla, but this time mixed/mastered by Fredrik Nordström in legendary Studio Fredman. Some of the concert highlights in 2018 included Gefe Metal Festival and Wacken Open Air, where CHUGGER unleashed their groove death metal in front of thousands of screaming metalheads.
As the darkness grows the silence brings me back And the whispers rise to plead with me again
Can't you hear the voices screaming? The noise is overwhelming me It's breaking me down
The demons in me are demanding pain I'm suffering! The darkness inside is slowly suffocating me This overwhelming horror is playing with my mind I'm staring in the mirror and I scream Take me away!
Trapped inside this never ending nightmare screaming for it all to go away Questioning the truths that they are whispering to me And all the lies I know I told myself
Slowly spiraling into the dark abyss Welcoming the pain that burns my soul
Can't you hear the voices screaming? The noise is overwhelming me It's breaking me down
The demons in me are demanding pain I'm suffering! The darkness inside is slowly suffocating me This overwhelming horror is playing with my mind I'm staring in the mirror and I scream Take me away!
Take me away! I'm burning, slowly dying Where is the end I'm looking for?
Silence - Overwhelming anger's taking over Consuming - Your clear sky's falling
Whatever reason, you've given to yourself
Enough is enough, you keep falling behind, you keep telling yourself, all the lies that you lie And the rest of the time, you keep asking yourself, was it all that you could, when you gave it your all
Breathe in the comfort, and taste the poisoned wine Treading waters, break the surface - and touch the flame
Judgment - Against the odds you stand Outnumbered - A storm is coming for you
Whatever reason, you've given to yourself Self loathing season, you’re going down now For all your treason, you've given up yourself It’s over now, ‘cus...
Enough is enough, you keep falling behind, You keep telling yourself, all the lies that you lie And the rest of the time, you keep asking yourself, was it all that you could, when you gave it your all
Breathe in the comfort, and taste the poisoned wine Drag the waters, break the surface - and kiss the ground
Inside this prison of flesh I dream of darkness I feel the world go by Await the end
Caught in the maelstrom, I'm going under Life pass before my eyes
Straight out of hell Scarred, beat and broken Stuck in limbo - Sick, twisted, fallen Death is calling - I wish this pain would end
I sense your hands around me a sweet sensation I feel the fading of me Embrace the end
Caught in the maelstrom, I'm going under Life pass before my eyes
Straight out of Hell Scarred, beat and broken Death awaits me - Sick, twisted, fallen Hear it calling - I wish this pain would end
Take This life away Away from me
Straight out of hell Scarred, beat and broken Stuck in limbo - Sick, twisted, fallen Death is calling - I want this life to end Scarred, beat and broken Sick, twisted, fallen
Using my loyalty, drinking my power You never gave anything back Feeding my doubts while you leech on my kindness Leaving me empty and drained I had enough of your empty promises I had enough of your lies I had enough of your soul sucking ego This is the end of the road
I'm fed up With your shit We are done Forever
I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough Now I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire
Something was always the cause of your problems Nothing was ever your fault And when I was weak and in need of your comfort You threw it all back in my face I had enough of this so called friendship I had enough of your cries I had enough of your self righteous bullshit This is the end of the road
I'm fed up With your shit We are done Forever
I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire
Don’t wanna be your unpaid therapist Stuck with your endless rants You pushed me over the limit I am finally done Had enough of your constant excuses Had enough of the pain Had enough of this constant giving This is the end
I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire
A new world order!
Come Armageddon / Blister the earth And wash the blood away / with poisoned water
Stare into the light, Salvation take us home
A falling angel's blinding light Come set us free One final curse we gave ourselves Our shooting star Of man and machine
Eradicated Our species's fallen Grinding the gears In the broken machine
Slave under Gods Awake the hunger Bloodlust for fame
We're bound to fail, So detonate the sun Stare into the light, Salvation take us home
A falling angel's blinding light Come set us free from past mistakes One final curse we gave ourselves Our shooting star will end the reign Of man and machine
Our newborn God Await our hunger Lusting for blood
Annihilation Collision course Stare into the light Come Armageddon
Tick tick tick your time is running out Can you feel the pressure building up Get stressed, it's running away from you The feed is calling for your soul
Shutting it in / tuning it out Plugging your ears to drown out the world So dead inside / Your mind is numb Chemical warfare inside of your brain
Enslaved / By the stream We bow / to the algorithm
We're trapped in this constant fear of losing out Of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming noise But we crave more, so much more
Feel the craving screaming in your mind Just one more fix / then you're done
Shutting it in Tuning it out So dead inside Chemical warfare inside of your brain
Enslaved / By the stream We bow / to the algorithm
We're trapped, in this constant fear Of losing out, of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming But we crave more, we crave more
We're trapped, in this constant fear Of losing out, of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming But we crave more, we crave more
