“Stalking Sharks” is a reflection on the mechanical cruelty of war — a world where the human mind becomes nothing more than a weapon’s trigger. Inspired by the imagery of predatory sharks circling their prey, the song transforms this instinct into a metaphor for soldiers, machines, and systems programmed to destroy without thought or mercy.
The pounding rhythm and relentless riffing embody the unstoppable march of violence: wheels crushing skulls, orders erasing empathy, and the battlefield turning into an ocean of blood. The repetition of “A war without mercy” underlines a cycle where killing becomes routine, and morality dissolves in the machinery of conflict.
For Quemasantos, “Stalking Sharks” represents the moment when humanity disappears behind the mask of war - when survival and destruction become indistinguishable. It’s both an observation and a warning: once the hunt begins, everything becomes prey.
