Obsoletion 03:17
Degenerate, wither away Lost itself to time Society torn, these arcane forms Are buried and left behind The seer warns of collapse and war The crowd jeers “Luddite!” The ancient ways, old and decayed Technology is all we need Obsoletion nears The sum of all your fears Humanity fast approaching singularity Memories of a reality Anthropocene You are obsolete Obsoletion Archaic love and community Another cog in the machine Preservation annihilated Beneath the wheel of progress Obsoletion nears The sum of all your fears Humanity fast approaching singularity Memories of a reality Anthropocene You are obsolete Obsoletion (Lead: Soyer)
2.
Consumed by changing tides Reaching back through my mind Holding on to hope of a dim memory Obscured but connected by a fraying thread Terror Labyrinthian New world struggles to be born From ashes of the old Insecurity anxiety rules your thoughts Slave to your misery shackled to your flesh Terror Labyrinthian Consumed by changing tides Reaching back through my mind Nothing left from the past Terror controls you at last Charred remnants of a dim memory Once obscured, now severed A burnt frayed thread Terror Labyrinthian You’re on your own now No fortune No favor No one Horrified Fear consumes your every waking thought Sanctified Terror becomes your god No one
3.
Curiosity lit the spark Obsession stoked the flame Defining your identity Validation in exchange This new life has called to me I grasp it unashamed A death grip on this vision Leaving me deranged This newfound power sets me free No longer am enslaved Bare witness to the transformation Mind and body changed Addicted to the recognition This is the path you claim You’ve failed to those that matter I hang my head in shame (Lead: Ibach) (Lead: Soyer)
4.
Calloused hands dictate A resignation sealed in blood Shallow minds swallow time Lamenting no one Hollow but not gone I etch my epitaph Shallow minds Have swallowed time Burned and refused Her porcelain skin cracks Faults realign Diffuse Dominate and persecute All innocence is robbed Shallow minds Have swallowed time (Lead: Brown)
5.
People sitting silently Squandered by what they see Dreams eroding, blackness unfolding The vilest of humanity Apathy and solemnity Hide the light that once beamed so divinely Self-anointed lords of domination Appalling acts of degradation Feeding their hateful appetites The prowlers revel in delight Constructing explanations, none shall suffice Villainous deeds, cunning and speed Paying the ultimate price As time ticks away There'll be no one left to say Save us from our own demise Beaming smiles Hide their ferocity As they assert their divinity Self-anointed lords of domination Appalling acts of degradation Feeding their hateful appetites The prowlers revel in delight Constructing explanations, none shall suffice Villainous deeds, cunning and speed Paying the ultimate price The blackest days lie ahead Steeped in hatred and bloodshed Soulless servants subverted Robbed of all dignity How can this change? Who is really to blame? We can only hope to be set free Set yourself free You can only set yourself free (Lead: Brown) (Lead: Ibach) Constructing explanations, none shall suffice Villainous deeds, cunning and speed Paying the ultimate price
6.
They’re manufacturing consent A world of lies keeps you content Keeps you content Blinded eyes, biding time Sheltered from reality Culture wars have left your Perspective warped Don’t believe a word they say Their lies will warp your mind Hear nothing see nothing Believe nothing Turn on, tune in, drop dead (Lead: Brown) They’ve dropped the bomb, the veil is torn No longer can ignore The fascist dogs and police state You’ve given your support Humanity decayed and compassion torn They’ve withered away From a lie you’ve sworn
7.
Empty husk Lifeless eyes Parasitic and cloaked in deceit Infect Infect and contaminate Total appropriation Existence commodified Authenticity withered away Appear subversive ego immersive With nothing real to say Bastardized Your vision is enterprise Replicate repackage, repurpose Reproduce and reap the rewards Art as expression With no concessions Is a risk you can’t afford Parasite You’re destined to live a lie What compromise will you make next Abandon your ethics Unrecognizable at best Hollow and vapid Bastardized Your vision is enterprise Parasite You’re destined to live a lie (Lead: Ibach) (Lead: Brown) Bastardized Your vision is enterprise Parasite You’re destined to live a lie
8.
A soul that knows Detached and cold You feel yourself lost forgotten alone Giving heart bleeds So needlessly Not designed for this world you’re placed to be The specter The tower The morbid Devours New cracks have formed Your spirit torn What once laughed and shared love is now worn Paranoid days Sleepless nights Give way to doubt, no hope is in sight (Lead: Brown)
9.
Ashen Lamb 04:55
Betrayal spurns The outstretched hand that once gave fruitful life Cast out in shame By ignorance and unholy blame A man is cold and set in the ground In the world above there’s sorrow abound In the end a veil is torn It hides behind a mask of charity and grace Leaves behind a legacy of a rotten twisted face Agnus Dei Dominus Ashen Lamb which sucks the life A man is cold and set in the ground In the world above there’s sorrow abound In the end a veil is torn It hides behind a mask of charity and grace Leaves behind a legacy of a rotten twisted face (Lead: Brown) (Lead: Ibach) (Lead: Brown) (Lead: Ibach) (Lead: Brown)

about

Formed in 2011, Baltimore Maryland’s weirdo thrash stalwarts have spent the last decade sharpening their singular attack. Taking cues from Cold War-era death/thrash and progressive metal, Nuclear Tomb seem determined to prove that these frameworks still have ambition and depth to give.

Comparisons can be found in the frenetic dissonance of Voivod or the twisted violence of Pestilence, but the quartet draws from a wide pool of influences that manifest in sounds ranging from classic metal tropes to the limits of noisy punk experimentation. Focusing on dynamic songwriting and high energy, aggressive live shows, their dedication to DIY touring has earned them a reputation amongst fans looking for fellow heretics of the same faith.

After two self-released EP’s and a handful of east coast tours, Nuclear Tomb are unveiling their debut full length “Terror Labyrinthian”. Its emphasis on raw aggression, left-field ideation, and musical acrobatics is the antidote to increasingly reactionary and predictable trends in modern metal. Mind Thrashing Sonic Nightmares…Weirdo thrash is the law
