Review by Istvan Nonn

Boutros Makes The Bed by Asherah: A Metalcore Gem from 2002 Alright, let’s talk about Boutros Makes The Bed, the debut album from Asherah, a band that came out swinging in the early 2000s metalcore scene. Released under Innerstrength Records in the US, this album doesn’t just sit there and play nice—it grabs you by the collar and demands your attention. If you’re into raw energy, heavy breakdowns, and lyrics that feel like they were ripped straight outta someone’s diary, this one’s for you. Now, I gotta say, two tracks really stuck with me after giving this album a spin (or three): “Last Chance To Dance” and “Ice Picks And Hand Grenades.” “Last Chance To Dance” kicks things off with a punch-you-in-the-face kind of vibe. It’s got this relentless pace that makes it impossible not to headbang along—seriously, try it. You can’t. The vocals are a mix of guttural screams and melodic cleans that somehow work together without feeling forced. What I love most is how the chorus sneaks up on you; it’s catchy as hell but still heavy enough to crush your soul. Like, you wanna scream it at the top of your lungs while smashing stuff—but also maybe cry a little? Weird combo, but it works. Then there’s “Ice Picks And Hand Grenades,” which feels like a total mood swing halfway through the album. This track slows things down just enough to let the weight of the lyrics sink in. It’s almost poetic, if poetry involved yelling about betrayal and broken trust over chunky guitar riffs. There’s something about the way the song builds tension before exploding into chaos—it’s like waiting for a storm to hit and then realizing you’re standing right in its path. Honestly, it gave me chills. The rest of the album keeps the energy high, with tracks like “Sick Day” and “The Smirk Behind Your Smile” throwing curveballs of aggression and emotion. Even the title track has its moments where you’re like, “Wait, did they just drop a life lesson in between all these breakdowns?” Looking back, what makes Boutros Makes The Bed stand out isn’t just the music itself—it’s the fact that it feels real. These aren’t polished pop-metal anthems designed to sell out arenas. Nope, this is gritty, unfiltered emotion wrapped in razor-sharp riffs. It’s the kind of album that reminds you why you fell in love with rock and metal in the first place. Oh, and here’s a random thought: listening to this album feels like hanging out with an old friend who’s seen some messed-up stuff but still knows how to crack a joke or two. Maybe that’s why it’s stayed with me. Or maybe it’s just because my neighbors now think I’m insane thanks to all the air drumming. Either way, check it out—you won’t regret it.

Lyrics :
All your dreams mean shit just fold your hands and pray I feel a strange sense of war pains me fall inside me look at those eyes look through the lies choked up by the words that you spoke you shamed me sour went the blood spilled to please you I'm bled I'm burned I'm hung erase this woke up to see you gone it pains me sure as hell I feel spite for you whore everything I touch just as broken glass every day I rid the world of your memory without a word you spit in my face whore if dead is good then I'm a very good boy woke up to leave you won't give me the chance to leave me I don't think so we're going to burn together we'll die as one slice your throat bleed you dry save your blood when you're gone please save me no I can't see this through so with this I thee wed to your soul alone die to your soul cleansing my heart with your tears this heart will be bleeding for years
