Make Them Suffer

A visceral dive into regret and emotional relapse. With striking metaphors like “I dialed the past like a drunk philosopher” and “My phone a graveyard of calls I can’t undo,” the lyrics explore the pain of revisiting old wounds and the futility of chasing closure. Dark, poetic, and unapologetically raw.

The Carousel of Ghosts

It is just a cold band of gold,
Now only worn to keep away the bold. (maybe the foolish)
They don’t see the ghost on my hand,
Or the shadow behind what I am.

I am a man that still wears his ring!
If anything it is comforting. (comforting).

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth leaned upon. (Leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have lost my thoughts)

It once burned bright in a lover’s fire,
Now dull with time, deceit, and desire. (yes desire)
The truth cut deep, but the scar won’t sting,
But I am at peace with this golden thing. (This ring)

The ring don’t burn, it chills my bone,
A crown for the cursed, a claim I own. (It's my own)
Not for the love that rotted through,
But for the peace it gives — without you. (remember that)

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth I can lean upon. (leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have lost my thoughts)

I’ve slept with the truth, she cuts like glass,
Every night she whispers, “This too shall pass.”
And now it has  but it just sits and sings,
A sad tune from my finger’s ring.

I don't care I'll wear it anyway, (anyway)
Heedless of who it scares away.
If they really were intrigued. (intrigued?)
They would ask and not retreat.

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth I can lean upon. (leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have gathered my thoughts)

They ask why I never let it go,
But how could they ever know? (really ever know)
It holds me like a familiar ache,
A comfort no heart would break. (It wont ever break)

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A circle of silence I depend upon. (depend upon)
Not for the past, or the pain it sings,
But for the calm it brings, (It calms everything)

My old, cold ring.

Yes

My old, cold ring.

Unless you are a new love,
who I am willing remove it for, (done once before)
you had better just,
remove it from my cold dead finger.

My old ring.
My old cold ring.

The Ring

I mixed the song years ago for a contest and was not happy about it so on a lazy weekend I decided to reamp the guitars again and do a better version of the mix ( what do you think ? )

Make Them Suffer are a five-piece metal band, emerging from Perth, Western Australia in October 2008. Since the band's inception, Make Them Suffer have been sweeping the nation by storm with a highly addictive blend of contemporary Death Metal, Black Metal and Deathcore. Fused smoothly together by symphonic texturizing and intricate piano to create a very dark and mature, emotionally driven onslaught of brutality.

Having already made a name for themselves with the release of their self-titled four track demo in January 2009. Make Them Suffer have arrived fresh out of the studio with Roland Lim (BIRDS OF TOKYO) with an exciting, insightful and original twist on contemporary metal with the release of their 5 track EP "Lord Of Woe" which has been compared in Blunt Magazine to the likes of BEHEMOTH, BLEEDING THROUGH and THE ACACIA STRAIN.

Now with a readily available EP, a full length album on its way and a sea of shows under their belt including support slots for BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE ACACIA STRAIN, WINDS OF PLAGUE, DARKEST HOUR and UNEARTH among others, Make Them Suffer have began attacking the national and international music scene.

“A tortured collection of sorrow and pain-filled brutality that just may be one of the most impressive metal releases of the year” – Drum Media

“An impressive debut and one to keep an eye on.” – [4/5] Blunt Magazine

“Although the venue was yet to reach full capacity there was already a neat row of headbangers at the front and tactical tacking maneuvers were required to negotiate the dangerously swelling crowd.” - Fasterlouder.com.au
