Today's Metal Track is Kirisute Gomen by Trivium. This is the opening track off of their outstanding 2008 album Shogun. Kirisute Gomen is a Japanese expression that literally translates to "authorization to cut and leave". Samurai had the right to strike with sword (kill) anyone of a lower class who compromised their honor. In many instances, and as portrayed in the song and video, the Samurai would take the head and leave the body. Pretty brutal.
