Grind Over Matter is the sixth full-length studio album from the Swedish thrash/death metal band Defleshed.

The title an obvious play on the term 'Mind Over Matter', Jorde is coming from a different place lyrically than fans are used to. "This time around traditional murder, war, and gore lyrics didn't come to me. So I wrote from a viewing perspective, beholding the world and man's influence on the same." This manifests itself in a variety of ways, "Bent Out Of Shape" standing as "an illustration of how everything is standardized and mainstreamed to enable mass production and economic growth, leaving nothing left to be organic, wild and vivid", while "One Grave To Fit Them All" is "a tale of a man who hates and kills everyone who differs from himself, resulting in sitting alone on the throne with no one left to hate." Then there is "Dear Devil", which is about "a wish - and demand - list written as a letter to The Underworld by a narcissist who arrogantly enough believes such a letter will be respected," Jorde always writing insightfully, giving the listener something to think about.
