They may write songs based on the Jewish mysticism of the Kabbalah, but that doesn't stop Atlanta death metal band Daath from opening up a can of whup-ass every now and again -- and sometimes even more often than that.

In an interview with MTVnews.com Metal File, guitarist Eyal Levi says that during the band's recent tour with Goatwhore, The Acacia Strain and Job For a Cowboy, Daath found themselves in the middle of nine different fights. On one such occasion, an audience member attacked singer Sean Farber after he poured water on the crowd.

"I guess some dude didn't like it, and he told us to stop — in the middle of a song, mind you," Levi says. "First of all, we're not going to stop. Secondly, how do you expect a band to hear that? So he charged the stage and spit in Sean's face. Sean saw him rushing towards the stage and hit him in the face with his microphone. After the show, the dude jumped our merch guy because he thought it was Sean. So let's just say I'm going to be ready next time."

In this video for "The Chondrin Enigma" by Belgian grindcore band, Aborted, an unfortunate homeless man is led away by government agents, who sedate him, shave his head, strip him, hose him down and push him into a machine that liquifies his body. His remains drip into a jar, and are then fed to other homeless people.The clip was shot in Paris over two days by director Michaël Bernadat."It pretty much sums up the lyrics of the song — we're turning some guy into Jello," Aborted singer Sven de Caluwé told MTVnews Metal File. "Chondrin is a substance you get from boiling or crushing bones, and the whole idea is that in a future situation, you've got way too many people on this planet, and governments decide that the best way to take care of it is to create these facilities to process the undesirable elements, and turn these people into food for the others."
