Apocalypse Dude I gave it a try and it burnt through my brain like a hot knife through butter. I like the style which is located somewhere between melodic death groove something metal. Beware of those scottish lads and I hope that a full length cd will follow soon. Favorite track: Impasse.

Alias 04:28
Nothing lost, Nothing gained The focus hour has been and gone I'm unscathed I repeat myself I'm bored Show me where we go from here Show me what is left to fear Is this a cry for help? Is this a game? Why am I fearful? I've never been so ready for change Show me where we go from here Show me what is left to fear The reflection stays the same No matter how you smash it and rearrange There's nothing you can do And I don't need any help from you Self absorbed you dissolve into wretched thought Digging deep you repeat yourself over and over Everyone's bored you teach yourself that you are not Sinking deeper and deeper into the aether Are you afraid? Are you afraid of the dark? The winds they chatter They hear your beating heart Show me where we go from here Show me what is left to fear So much lies ahead I've finally left this rut There's nothing you can do Cos I don't need any fucking help from you

Filthist 04:07
You'll never bring back their souls Elite subterfuge/sinister Watch them die endlessly/pointlessly Humanities divides personified/fascistic Leech, killer Conceited, Your prejudice apparent Can’t you tell you that you’re the problem? You’re creating this hell Leech, killer You are malignant We can’t live in this filicidal system And you’ll never bring back their souls The struggles we face day after day They don’t think it matters if you live or you die What is your birthright is just down to chance We all deserve a life, a chance to survive Leech, killer Conceited Dehumanise the innocent Your compassion based on consequence We the polemic, Another day/another death This day so dark We won’t concede this Another way/another test Their graves won’t be left unmarked Filthist, You are a coward We the polemic, Another day/another death, This day so dark We won’t concede this Another way/another test Their graves won’t be left unmarked Your name is marked.

Unguided 04:50
From day one We are unguided In this moment we're frayed We will never be saved These horrific words are uninvited This pit is bottomless Things live down there so hideous You keep them at bay forever and a day Come follow me to an unpleasant degree I'll show you how we keep our head above ground Let me show you a different world Watch our troubles descend to the ground There's something in these waters that cannot be found Manifest our dreams There's not too long There's only as long as it takes You just want to pick my brain I'd tell you to pick another one I feed off you/you feed off me I tell you what is ailing me Cos I really am my father's son Fears I will never succumb I really am my father's son Fears I will never succumb to them Watch our troubles descend to the ground There's something in these waters that cannot be found Manifest our dreams There's not too long There's only as long as it takes Watch our troubles descend to the ground There's something in these waters that cannot be found Manifest our dreams You couldn't say/you couldn't see There's not too long There's only as long as it takes From day one We are unguided In this moment we're frayed We will never be saved These horrific words are uninvited

Rust 04:33
Scourge of the sea Your ego blinded me Hear us Hear our cry Over and over they scour the shores It's barren/it's dying/it bleeds from the floor Tables they lower as death takes its place Creating nothing but barren waste The rising waves we do not see are a slaughterhouse all their own The way we live we do not care for the ones who call them home It's not your decision The choice is ours to make Bleed and deceive me The choice is ours to make We're at your door There's nothing left for you to take There's not left for us to save It's not your decision The choice is ours to make Bleed and deceive me The choice is ours to make Over and over they scour the shores It's empty/it's hopeless They suffer no more

Impasse 06:13
I want to be your opposite I know we can't take any more of this Closer together but at the end of our tether A decision must be made Too much hurt begins to derail you Too much hope will only set to fail you A balancing act that we must adhere to Contrary force will eventually save you I want to question everything -Feel the pain take it's toll- It hurts to write this but we need to speak our mind It isn't easy but I'm realising now -Dragging down on your soul- For better or for worse We've reached an impasse This argument is anodyne We only have it cos we're out of time The tick is broken but the heart still remains We are never ourselves to blame I want to question everything -Feel the pain take it's toll- It hurts to write this but we need to speak our mind It isn't easy but I'm realising now -Dragging down on your soul- For better or for worse We've reached an impasse We stay close but know that Never will we cross paths We're parallel lines I want to question everything -Feel the pain take it's toll- It hurts to write this but we need to speak our mind It isn't easy but I'm realising now -Dragging down on your soul- For better or for worse This is our impasse
