Lyrics by Kling
The world is a carcass
Entrenched with philosophies
Knowing why or how or when is just more rot on the corpse
It’s embarrassing
Growing decay, always growing decay
Harbinger of ammunition
Deceived by the rituals
Fused together in frustration
Hidden inside, the source of the fears
Shaving layers away to expose the collapse
Nothing was sudden; it had to be fed
Then nurtured by our own birthright
Round! You feel yourself turning
Round! You feel yourself turning
You are another layer of slime in the sewer
Which part doesn’t feel like a lie, constantly degrading
Much of this repeats freely in your mind, one of many
The world is a carcass
Chided for disbelief
Questioning truth or lie or not is just more rot on the corpse
It’s embarrassing
Growing decay, always growing decay
Growing decay, always growing decay
Harbinger of ammunition
Sound the alarm to attract your peers
Deceived by the rituals
Fused together in frustration
Hidden inside the source of the fears
Shaving layers away to expose the collapse
Nothing was sudden; it had to be fed
Then nurtured by our own birthright

Face For Later

Lyrics by Paul Mazurkiewicz
Knife
Torn - is the flesh bloody red
Torn - are the guts until dead
Torn - between killing again
Torn - from the living there is pain in the end
Helpless dying heap on the ground
Stabbed in the head flailing around
Begging to stop, the screams were so loud
Removing the skin while still alive
I was forced to flay her
And save the face for later
The blood-soaked epidermis was peeled from the skull
A violent harvest preserved to atone
Facial displacement with a blade that is dull
Inhumane butchery she suffered alone
Blood
Torn - is the flesh bloody red
Torn - are the guts until dead
Torn - between killing again
Torn - from the living there is pain till the end
Helpless dying heap on the ground
Stabbed in the head flailing around
Begging to stop the screams were so loud
Removing the skin while still alive
I was forced to flay her
And save the face for later

Lyrics by Nordberg
Human scars - they burn the earth
With their plots subversive
Greatest minds - dissatisfied
Seeking independence
Exit - leave the fools and the mystics
New Earth - the inactive abandoned
Imitate life - counterfeit
Deceptive life
Human clones - replace the old
Bereft of rumination
Greatest mind: machine at heart
Becoming God through time
Exit - starve the fools and the mystics
New Earth - the inactive abandoned
Imitate life - counterfeit
Deceptive life
Reactive life - counterfeit
Creating life
Generations of convincing
Cowering in the burden of eyes
All it took for man to crumble
Was to have God‘s disappointment
Observe
Report
React
Learning
To reason
Adapt
Man subservient to tech
Slaves to their creation, made
Greatest mind: machine at heart
Becoming God through time
Generations of convincing
Cowering in the burden of eyes
All it took for man to crumble
Was to have God‘s disappointment

Lyrics by Kling
Niceties aside, you are fake
Watching your lights dim to keep up the facade
This self-indulgent / illusion \ that is the place called home
Helpless ones applaud; you just take.
Built in the pressure, Klinging to the threads of fame
Sanctimonious / rabble \ I’ve watched you unfold
Your father the giver, punishment in the cloak of failure
Your father the giver, verbal obfuscation
The suffering of the betterment
The suffering of the betterment plan
Vitriol in silence
The suffering of the betterment plan
Old and bitter eyes, scanning prey
A lifelong disease has caused your skin to leather
Elderly, self-righteous / Devil \ married to your vices
Manipulating smile from the snake
You have no true friends, only those who tolerate
Weak within the absolute / power \ a withered garden of time
Our father the giver, punishment in the cloak of failure.
Your father the giver, verbal obfuscation.
The suffering of the betterment.
The suffering of the betterment plan.
Vitriol in silence.
The suffering of the betterment plan.

Lyrics by Nordberg
“Power lust is a weed that grows
In the vacant lots of the abandoned mind.” **
Born unarmed into this world - beware
Don’t let your Self begin to corrupt
Formed without wing, fang, or claw - pacified
Living in a senseless world without a mind
Your reality runs on a battery
Charged by only thought - originality
Mind = Tool
Mind = Weapon
Thinking has become a distant pastime
In between blocks of immemorable grey
Doomed by mankind’s first hammer-blow
All was lost to their creation
Born unarmed unto this world - beware
Weak minds that prey on weak spirits
Formed without wing, fang, or claw - pacified
Living in a senseless world without a mind
Your reality runs on a battery
Charged by only thought - originality
Mind = Tool
Mind = Weapon
Thinking has become a distant pastime
In between blocks of immemorable grey
Mind - Tool - Weapon

Lyrics by Kling/Nordberg
With the scent of decay - malice
Fills the cup with pride and a paranoid psychotic
Individual writhing bent on disharmony
Installing the blade - tragic
Ribs now separate - insurmountable pain
Liquidating the life spark simply put initiates my obsession
Comfort due to elation
Elevate this human through release
The blood - the screams
The fatal certainty
The stench - surreal
This lifeless ecstasy
This lifeless ecstasy
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet - Gore
Inflicting open sores
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet - Gore
Inflicting open sores
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet - Gore
Blood - surreal
This lifeless ecstasy
The stench -the screams
The fatal certainty
The fatal certainty
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet - Gore
Infinite dispatching of mankind
Inflicting open sores
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet - Gore
Infinite dispatching of mankind
Inflicting open sores
Hatchet - Hammer - Mallet
Gore in the eyes - callous
Murderous rampage that has only just started
Nothing standing in the way,
The blood on the ground looks like a painting
That’s for available for purchase
Societal design - manic
On to the next victim, chosen totally at random
Another form of birth decay
Puncturing the heart which is the most neglected organ anyway
Comforts due to elation
Elevate this human through release

Lyrics by Kling/Nordberg
The driver is asleep, in the backseat,
calmly lying there like a wooden bat with nails driven through it.
The road behind the eyes is beaten flat by years of traffic,
seen only by the driver, who has been asleep.
Fallen - into decay
Reason - has gone away
Minds frozen - with naught to say
Our future - grim
End of the line, progress declined
All emotions subside
Machine recital, motions aligned
For the deaf, dumb, and blind
Goals are no more, for money we whore
Our bodies and our minds
Machine recital, feigning as art
For the deaf, dumb, and blind
My voice betrays my outrage
My voice divorces the path
Timing is everything, timing is lost
Recollections of the future show it’s dead inside
Skeletons - all that remains - time has turned to dust
Blurring the boundaries and the dulling edge of knives
Mechanized and redefined - a bleak new world
Timing is everything, timing is lost
Fallen - into decay
Reason - has gone away
Minds frozen - with naught to say
Our future - grim
End of the line, progress declined
All emotions subside
Machine recital, feigning as art
For the deaf, dumb, and blind
My voice betrays my outrage
Timing is everything. Timing is lost.
My voice divorces the path
Timing is everything. Timing is lost.
Time has stopped.

Obscurer

Lyrics by Kling
Look into my eyes
Relinquish control to me
The father figure that I’ll never be
This fortuitous encounter
Might be the death you knew was coming
I’ve been the judge jury and executioner for countless people
No one will ever have the lead over me…
I enjoy power, endless dominion, a natural born Obscurer
Look into my eyes
Relinquish control to me
The father figure I’ll never be
With the hands bound
The rope at the neck
Don’t worry it’s just a trick
I’ve been the judge jury and executioner for countless people
No one will ever have the lead over me…
I enjoy power, endless dominion, a natural born Obscurer
Clowns can get away with anything
Clowns can get away with murder
A Clown can get away with anything
A clown can get away with murder
Hidden away in the crawlspace
Unmarked
Together we rot
I’ve been the judge jury and executioner for countless people
No one will ever have their lead over me….
I enjoy power, endless dominion, a natural born Obscurer
That father figure
I’ll never be

Science Of Discontent

Lyrics by Kling/Nordberg
With the best intentions we set up our roles
Determined victims, hold the keys shaped like swords
Hidden agendas built out of established molds
Shy away in the face of choice, electing prison walls
Fools - they put the daggers in their eyes
With their plots within their plots
Fools - perennial nightmare walking
Blame! A child’s view
Angle of the victim
Gregarious for the digital drip
Demand fruit, despite chronic neglect
Shame! Fie on you!
Starving for attention
Given it all, and wanting none of it
Demand fruit, despite chronic neglect
Ghouls - stench of haunt is in their eyes
Ignorance their second skin
Ghouls - emotive vulture stalking
Blame! A child’s view
Angle of the victim
Gregarious for the digital drip
Demand fruit, despite chronic neglect
Shame! Fie on you!
Starving for attention
Given it all, and wanting none of it
Demand fruit, despite chronic neglect
Bottled existence, outliving the old
In a fury of another’s creation, blinded to the control
Skimming from the surface, expecting gold
Only when I’m dead, is when the hammer truly falls
Blame! A child’s view
Shame! Fie on you!
Blame! A child’s view
Shame! Fie on you!

The Enduring Spirit
by Tomb Mold
supported by 110 fans who also own “Mind Trap”
Derrick manages to bring a bit of his Dream Unending urges into Tomb Mold, and with great effect. Every track on this is a winner, but "Will of Whispers" feels the most forward-thinking, mixing melody with heaviness and a near-fusion level of musicianship. My favourite modern death metal album.

Well, after listening to Death and Black Metal for over 35 years, it sometimes gets boring, even if bands try to innovate. But then you stumble upon an album, which immediately clicks: it fresh, but familiar. It’s emotional, intelligent and complex, but not for complexities’ sake. It flows, it works, it’s authentic. This album is absolutely great, it’s all I want from this kind of music: cold soundscapes, raging fires, the embrace of darkness. 10/10
go to albumsupported by 106 fans who also own “Mind Trap”
Absolute killer old school death metal release with a modern touch with its production. What I really like about this album is that it doesn't go out of its way to be super technical nor overly simplistic. It's got that got that late 80s vibe with how some of the riffs and solos are layered together, palm muted chugs with a flow of trills up and down the fretboard, or how some songs open with mid-paced double bass with 2/4 and 4/4 time signatures and drop down to heavy slower tempos.. 10/10
