“The Builders And The Butchers' musical output is something of a Pentecostal throw-down—the musical underpinnings are reminiscent of bluegrass, but the performances are raw and unschooled, with Sollee in particular throwing off a maniacally ecclesiastical sort of energy…dark, sparkling, Leadbelly-like terrain covered by death-fixated epics…” – PasteMagazine.com

The Builders and the Butchers - Black Elevator (from the album Dead Reckoning)

This song, titled "Scare Quote Nation," is a scathing critique of the manipulation of language to obscure truth and perpetuate deception, particularly in political, social, or institutional contexts. Through its vivid lyrics, aggressive rap-rock delivery, and ominous musical atmosphere, it explores how euphemisms and misleading rhetoric are used to mask harsh realities, control narratives, and maintain power. The song calls for recognizing and rejecting these distortions to uncover and embrace unfiltered truth.
