At The Drive-In - Chanbara

ATDI makes reference to their Dub group De Facto in this song!
Chanbara Lyrics:
valmara valmara valmara flechettes
kiss me with the lisp
of your shrapnel caress
lost this arm, lost this leg
lost this diving board
just a belly flopped proposal
of let's be friends
tour de force
tour de force
defacto
ayuchuco
ayuchuco
ayuchuco
prosthetic, prosthetic, prosthetic blemish
necro is the velcro on the charred appendage
carterize solder gun in the melting of seeds
oh dear god what a tangled web we weave
tour de force
tour de force
defacto
ayuchuco
ayuchuco
ayuchuco
all we are are failed attempts
propelled by stilt-leg presidents
incarcerate the mason fence
like flechettes flechettes flechettes
i'm not biting the lead my pencil's broken again
we will fill in the blanks
so i can cheat off your test
flechettes flechettes

This song is about the Cenepa War between Peru and Ecudor. Alberto Fujimora - a Peruvian of Japanese descent - was President giving the song it's Japanese title. According the International Committee of the Red Cross some 60,000 landmines were laid in the Rio Cenepa area.

[@KidAmnesiack]

The battle of Ayacucho, taking place on the 9th of December, 1824, was a victory for the Republic of Peru during the Peruvian War of Independence which essentially ensured Peru's independence from Spain after slaughtering/routing the Spanish Royalist army. Probably refers to that.

I'm argentine and it's Ayacucho, we have streets name like that here. @ElHajjMalikElShabbaz

[@coalarcane]

Haha, I thought he was saying "I AM TRUE GOD" before I looked the lyrics up. I knew in my heart it was something completely different (as his lyrics tend to be), though.

[@uki0105]

I love this song from japan

[@JDeissreVIEWSFROMHELL]

Always thought it was 'I have to go'

[@maurovillena1403]

+J. Deiss +1

I might have another interpretation of ayachuco. I'm from El Paso, where ATDI is originally from. We have a slang word that we use for our city "El Chuco." "Aya" in spanish means "other there." So he might just be saying in spanish "Over there El Paso" just throwing it out there :)

[@musiclover01ization]

My favorite song off of this album.

[@ivanapivana8485]

@ElHajjMalikElShabbaz at last someone knows.its a mine that jumps up in the air after stepped upon,spreads metal all around.its italian version of yugoslavian mine called"PROM".

[@superstriker00]

Just listening to these guys can exhaust you.

[@Floydthefuckbag]

@WFPLiaison I'd say theres a solid argument for an ATDI song being their best. The are all amazing.

[@PforPterodactylMusic]

Atdi=icons

[@Vladslash]

@ElHajjMalikElShabbaz chanbara is not a martial art, is a term like "bang-bang", used for sword fighting movies and books

[@asspants101]

They are back look it up online FUCK YESSSSS REUNION AT LAST THEY WILL BE PLAYING LIVE IN COCHELLA

[@alexbrned]

@ElHajjMalikElShabbaz you're wrong... it's ayacucho not ayachuco... I am peruvian

[@GALEfz]

@ElHajjMalikElShabbaz the place in Peru is called Ayacucho, so i don´t really know what ayachuco means

[@EriksSpure]

@ElHajjMalikElShabbaz chanbara is like aikido with weapons

[@KamenSentaiMetalHero]

This song reminds of the show Cops.

[@JohnMoss85]

I prefer the tempo of the live version.

[@baklikescoleosis]

El oh el

[@DandelionVolta]

Coachella sold out! :S

[@DandelionVolta]

@Pire002 Si dice Ayachuco porque Cedric habla para la mierda a veces... por eso tiene vergüenza de hacer entrevistas en español.

[@Crunchitizerful]

I always thought he was saying "I AM TRUE GOD"

[@MrChambonable]
