With a backbone as rugged as dust
You are amongst the bottom feeders
Tarnished men, once with a spine
Now scum of the earth
Liable for it’s decline
Flickering eyes, absent
Within, you see what i see
Worthless and insignificant
You are destined to be
In the silent majority
Garbage humans now reap what’s been sown
The choice is yours
Hang high or bleed dry
You stand incapacitated
Toward the challenges that be
Originating from cowardice
Created by weak men
Within, you see what i see
Worthless and insignificant
You are destined to be
In the silent majority
Acting with certainty
For what it’s worth
You failed pathetically
The choice is yours
Hang high or bleed dry
The choice is yours
Hang high or bleed dry
In the traitors nest
From whence you came
Garbage humans now reap what’s been sown
Amongst the bottom feeders
The choice is yours
Hang high or bleed dry
In the traitors nest
From whence you came

Weathering the crisp morning air
The scent of fear is always present
I’ve waited long enough
Devoid of emotion
A mercenary
Acting in the depths
Of a distorted realm
The arsonist of belief
A constant threat
Surroundings reek of fear
The hunter, stalking its prey
For when I stare into the abyss
Nothing looks back
Consumed by contempt
Swarming the hive minds
For when I stare into the abyss
Nothing looks back
Erase all of what was before
Neglecting the outcome
Constructed to follow
You obey
The greatest weakness
Of the human mind
So frail and faint-hearted
From the very beginning
Nurtured to submission
Without free will
The hunter
Becoming prey
Disintegrating
Fading into the black
For when I stare into the abyss
Nothing looks back
Consumed by contempt
Swarming the hive minds
For when I stare into the abyss
Nothing looks back
Erase all of what was before
Neglecting the outcome
When I stare into the black
Disintegrating
The hunter
Becoming prey

The voice of reason cries without a sound
The embodiedment of our shortcomings
Everything and everyone will be in harm’s way
For those whose flesh walks the path
Distraught we hear them passing by
We spit upon the bringer of truth
Self-made gods projecting
For those whose flesh walks the path
Are never to be seen again
Drawn closer towards the dark matter
Oblivious to all consequence
Dragging us under
Taking deeper roots
Consuming us all
Oblivious
In the distorted reality
Blood runs parallel
Flooding all directions
Severed minds drown in judgement
Distraught compliant targets
As the dark matter lingers
Consuming all within reach
We fall easy prey
Succumbing to its whispers

Immerse yourself in the modern ways
Be the embodiedment of weakness
Prosperity is a double-edged sword
Our courage collecting dust
We exist as servants
To be able to consume
Slaves to our own materialism
Wealth is a shallow victory
For a species in moral decline
You better check yourself
Before you wreck yourself
Take a step back and check yourself
There's more to this life than fame and wealth
Debase, Erase, you forgot your place
You sold your soul for nothing but a taste
and now you're left with nothing, and nothing is what you'll reap
Reap
It derives from self-deception
This empty feeling
We exist as servants
To be able to consume
Slaves to our own materialism
Wealth is a shallow victory
For a species in moral decline
Only our hollow values can save us,
or can they?
In a moral decline
We are servants
In a moral decline
We are servants

A worthy advesary
Outmost capable
Forewarned used to mean forearmed
Predictions resonated
Unheard
I unwillingly became
What now is me
What now is I
When all that was built
Wither away in the masses
And what once was
Never will be again
Withering away in the masses
My last dying wish
Breeds resentment
As the bloodline ends
So will we
So will we
When all that was built
Wither away in the masses
And what once was
Never will be again
Withering away in the masses
Predictions resonated
Unheard
A system that's failed us
Rationality disengaged
Toxic doctrines control
A system that's failed us
The greatest of betrayals
A worthy advesary
Outmost capable
As the bloodline ends
So will we

Predictably compliant
Obedient words from the teller of lies
A utopian belief of wrongs
Empires become failed states
Plummeting into submission
Left are the fragments
From the greatest of kingdoms
Known to man
This is what the pacifist desire
Weakness made into artificial strength
Heroes of imperfection
Only a warped mind could believe
The ideology stronghold, so vital
You embrace the oppression
For the illusion of safety
Sleeping habitants have resigned their rights
They seek refuge in the safety of herds
Plummeting into submission
Left are the fragments
From the greatest of kingdoms
Known to man
Pacifist
Predictably compliant
Pacifist
Stay obedient

Day by day, my patience’s wearing thin
I can feel myself changing from within
In my moment of clarity
I looked beyond the burning crest
Those who reap the benefits of conflict
Are the weak-kneed cowards who call to arms
Our minds are molded
We have been thrown below
Again and again
In the greatest disconnect
Seek truth and you will find lies
In this nation wide
Steady decline
I was forced into existence
So unbecoming
As they bleed us dry, I will rise
I am the faculty of reason
To lift the burden of our malevolent past
Herd instincts obscure our sight
My guilt is irrefutable
Yet I thrive with impunity
In my moment of clarity
I looked beyond the burning crest
Our minds are molded
We have been thrown below
Again and again
In the greatest disconnect
Seek truth, and you will find lies
In this nation wide
Steady decline
Again and again
Wave after wave
After wave
Be still for this cold embrace

The sum of all is hate
Cognitive functions rotten
Prometheans sent to intellectual slaughter
We want more
From less
The transgressions of our past
Brought back to light
The mind virus widespread
Our demise in constant escalation
We walk the earth like false gods
A thought process of neglect
We walk the earth like false gods
The sum of all is hate
The sum of all is hate
The sum of all is hate
A dangerous game

When the pendulum swings
It sweeps like daggers
Vengeful, we lie in wait
Hold back, the direction is clear
Let their arrogance be their last train of thought
Calm, we wait to pass judgement upon thee
With unfathomable force
Their last days are imminent
When the pendulum swings
It sweeps all in its way
Former strongholds, reduced to nothing
When the common man turns his way
The pendulum swings
Iris wide open
Pitch black
Fuming mouths
Throats open like graves
Abstract nightmares
Come to life
Inferior beings
Disposed
Balance reinstated
At the highest of costs
It sweeps like daggers
Feeding bloodlusting mouths
The hunger stays
Not quenching the thirst
When the common man turns his way
Throats open the red stream

Time is scarce
Rapidly flowing
Not hesitant
Of purpose
This is the weapon
Motivate the enemy within
With hands made of thorns
Aimlessly drifting
Our fate it contrives
A future condemned
Serve our predetermined misfortune
Bow before it's wrath
let it assume power
Piercing lungs
Blood vessels pulsing
It divides
Dismantles our lies
On its own premise
The greatest question remain unasked
Time is scarce
Rapidly flowing
Not hesitant
Of purpose
Phantoms roam these grounds
Unchallenged
Thoughtcrimes brings the greatest of punishments
Do not share of your mind
Enclose it evermore
Seal its meaning
Never to be heard
It brings the false conclusion
Culminating indefinitely
Time is scarce
Rapidly flowing
Not hesitant
Of purpose
Phantoms roam these grounds
Unchallenged
Aimlessly drifting

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosus
supported by 8 fans who also own “Dreadnought”
Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!

The Miscalculation
by The Eating Cave
supported by 6 fans who also own “Dreadnought”
Nothing but pure relentless brutality and scorching technical prowess that crackles out of the speakers. It’s unflinchingly aggressive, like being in the center of a vortex of razors, whipping licks and arpeggios jagged and violent, ripping and slicing from all angles.
