FIRE METS ICE (2013)

"By Honour" fue un álbum bajo mi punto de vista muy bueno, un álbum que mostraba una banda deseando comerse el mundo. Ese álbum contenía unos tremendos riffs de guitarras, soberbios en ocasiones y desprendía un aire vikingo que recogía de manera soberbia la llama encendida por ejemplo por lo extintos Mithotyn. El tiempo ha pasado para todos, sus dos siguientes trabajos no tuve el placer de escucharlos, sin embargo este "Fire Meets Ice", era un trabajo el cual no quería dejar pasar. Y bien, pues desde el primer tema se intenta darle una aire muy Bathory a toda su música, siendo el primer tema que da título al álbum el que mejor consigue recrear y homenajear a la banda de Quorthon, al aunar de manera magistral las partes más agresivas, melódicas y atmosféricas, resultando el aspecto vocal también muy completo. A partir de este tema inicial el disco se hace extremadamente predecible, faltandole algo de chispa y usando una y otra vez la misma fórmula de ritmos lentos y pesados, atmósferas y pasajes melódicos con un fuerte sentimiento vikingo y las voces van alternando entre registros más limpios y otros agresivos, con un música por momentos más black, a los que da paso otros más death melódico. Un aspecto destacable, que no se ha perdido con el paso de estos años ha sido el aspecto de las guitaras, cada tema de este trabajo cuenta con unos riffs de guitarra muy trabados y de bella factura. Gracias a un producción muy currada se consigue ahondar en aspectos épicos, en pasajes más doom y en un mayor número de arreglos que enriquecen su propuesta, eso si a costa de perder espontaneidad y violencia. Sin ser un mal trabajo ni mucho menos, parece que se han acomodado un tanto en la orilla contemplativa del viking, y el doom melódico más accesible, desbordado de arreglos y producción pulida para olvidarse un tanto de su orientación más pagana y black.

1. Fire Meets Ice 09:23

 The cold mist in the land of shadows

Burning heat in the land of fire

The birth in a gaping hole where fire meets ice

Building the sleeping giant of rimfrost

Ymer, the father of the rimthurs awaken by the fire of Muspelheim

Giving life to all kinds

Betrayal, defiance, act of Gods

Three gods, Ve, Vile, and Oden, the slayers of Ymer

Drowning in blood, destroying his heirs

Hatred was born

Born by blood, fire and ice

A world built by the flesh of the father

Surrounded by the ocean of blood

The sky, up high, carried by the four

North, South, East and West

The skull of the giant placed by the black elves

2. The Chosen Ones 06:30

From the black water we once came

Out on this water we will go

Ask and Embla, the chosen ones

The wise god gave us the breath of life

The god of wish gave us our mind

The god of holiness gave us our vision

Ask and Embla, the chosen ones

The gods gave us shelter and hope

In the castle of Midgård we thrive

The sons and daughters of the chosen ones

To the Gods we hail for them to grant us our strength

Our songs still echoes within the mighty halls of stone

Surrounded by the great ocean on the shore we stand proud and tall

And for glory and for longing we will search throughout the mighty Ash

3. Nifelheim 06:14

Beware of the Northern wind

Sacrifice to the mighty eagle to spare our skin and bones

His cold wind thats pierces through all

Shores of longing, winter's gone

Guide us, sons of Oden

Ruler of the sky protect us 

Don't take us down below

We set out sails

Our journey has begun

The mighty sea seales our fate

Waves so strong carries the Dragon ship

To arrive in foreign lands to conquer to trade

To depart from foreign lands, leave the shores in flames

Those who stand against us will fall by our hands

Send them down the river cold to the shore of the dead

To Nifelheim, they will travel the cold wasteland of the ninth world

In Nifelheim, they will suffer the wrath of the snake of the ninth world

4. My Ravens 04:16

Give me wisdom

Give me knowledge 

To see through all the lies

Over nine worlds from dawn til dusk

they fly until they return

Bringing me my gift

My power to forsee

For the battle we must prepare

I'll send the ravens

I'll send them far

I'll send the ravens

I'll send them far away

Fly my ravens, fly

5. Sacrifice 08:10

  Sacrifice his left eye

Sacrifice for the well of wisdom

Sacrifice, the ash so old

Sacrifice, Oden's galow

Sacrifice nine long nights

Sacrifice, baptized in blood

The runes he found, the runes of power

Nine are the magic songs

Learn the nine magic songs to cease the power of the runes

The mead of wisdom, the tounge of poetry

And to speak with the dead with Miner's head

The magic runes, the ancient spell must be read and written from the heart

The scars of the runes are filled with blood

And not to fall a sacrifice must be done

Rista Råda Färga Fresta Bedja Blota Sända Slopa

6. Helheimsfärd 06:35

Nine nights he ride through valleys of darkness

No light, nor shadows for nine nights so black

The river so fierce kills all the sounds

The bridge he must cross, the bridge of the dead

The path to Hel where only the pale can pass

The gates of Hel where only the dead can pass

Carry me Sleipner fast as the wind

Fly Sleipner, fly over the gates

To enter the halls of death

To enter the dead ones fate

To enter his brothers grave

To enter for his return

All must weep, all must sacrifice

Their tears of life for his return

7. The Deceiver Shall Repent 04:10

He was hiding behind four doors, north and south east and west But there is no escape from his sins and his betrayal will be redeemed One of his sons forever condemned to the shape of the greatest of wolfs Destined to take his brother's life The deceiver shall repent Chained down to the three mighty stones bound by the chains of flesh A poisonous snake above with an andless stream of venom tearing his face apart Damned by all but his beloved, Sigyn is always by his side She will ease his torment and pain with her cauldron of relief The ground will shake along with his pain and wrath Bound until the day of days  

8. Post Ragnarök 04:33

Under the blackened sun the earth is drowning Stars burst into flames, falling The mist, the fire, the heat touches the sky All chains are broken, all seals are open the world rises a second time A new beginning Resurrection of truth and light Beneath dwells the snake of shadows The shimmering cold snake Will we succeed where the mighty has failed To follow the true path Beware of the cold that dwells in the dark Waiting, longing for our sins

9. Our Legacy 05:13

Behold our land, our land of the North Our legacy to keep untouched The lakes are so clear The forests, our dark forests A nocturnal beauty that takes the breath away The silence cries The winter, the absence of the sun Fires burning bright through our darkest nights Fires burning bright within our hearts

VESTIGES / PANOPTICON (2013) 

No vamos ahora a dar explicaciones sobre Panopticon, su calidad esta más que contrastada a lo largo de estos años, en los cuales a ofrecido trabajos de alta calidad de manera tremendamente regular y este split con Vestiges no es menos, no ya solo por lo su parte sino que ambas bandas forman un dúo muy competente y han encontrado la manera de compenetrarse a la perfección. Panopticon entra en liza tras los dos temas de Vestiges y la verdad es que no lo tiene nada fácil tras la demostracíón de poderío de la banda compañera de split, pero A. Lunn siempre sale airoso, si Vestiges tiran más por la via del centro, con un par de temas directos, Panopticon se recrea más en los detalles y da muestras de una gran madurez compositiva. La suya es una carrera prácticamente sin mácula, rica en cuanto a estilo y atrevida al no ponerse barreras de ningún tipo. Tres temas de gran peso ambiental, con una rica instrumentación, con pasajes de post-rock como ya viene siendo habitual a lo largo de su existencia y de sensaciones paganas e inmersivas en la naturaleza. Música espiritual. con una amplia variedad de registros y de estructuras, que se mueven entre ritmos rápidos construidos a base de buenos riffs de guitarra y momentos más contemplativos que invitan a la reflexión.

Musta Surma se crearon ya en el lejano 1997 tras la disolución de a banda creada en 1994 por sus dos miembros y que repondia al nombre de Crimson Evenfall y ellos son lo encargados de dar comienzo a este split, teniendo en cuenta que son una grupo que no se prodigan mucho en cuanto a ofrecer nuevo material, estos dos temas aquí incluidos se antojan tremendamente escasos,más teniendo en cuenta que uno de ellos es una breve intro. Tras más de diez años trabajando para ofrecer este trabajo las tres bandas no han perdido el tiempo y lo han concentrado al máximo en treinta y siete minutos en los cuales "Kohti ikuista kadotusta", el tema de Musta Surma, es un correcto ejercicio de black clásico, de sonido sucio, con voces oscuras y rasgadas, de fuerte sabor escandinavo, con guitarras afiladas de riffs poderosos y es que no se me ocurre mejor carta de presentación para este split que el comienzo con Musta Surma. Solo algo que objetar y es que deberían de prodigarse más, esperemos que tras esta aparición Muerte Negra nos vuelvan a ofrecer, en breve, nuevo material. (7,9).

SHADE EMPIRE - ENTREVISTA

Unspeakably brutal guitar patterns, multi-layered and yet beautiful synth walls, ingenious arrangements combined with electronics, devastating drum parts, complex bass assaults and the unique vocals coming straight from the deep pits of Hell! Formed in Kuopio Finland 1999, Shade Empire has developed its own genre. 

FACEBOOK QUOTE

Eero Mantere, founding member and bassist of the Swedish Shade Empire responds to this interview

1. Shade Empire born in 1999, today you are the only original member of the first lineup that still is part of Shade Empire, what are your memories of the beginnings of the band? How sound has influenced different Shade Empire lineup changes it has undergone over the years and especially the recent addition of the guitars Kivimäki Aapeli this year?

Yes, it' s sure been a while when we started. Actually I (Mantere) and our guitarist Sirkkiä formed the band back then. I have only good memories from the early years! Everything was so innocent and the songwriting process and playing itself was like finding new things all the time. We started to play together and got a few friends along and after some changes got the lineup that remained many years. We have gone quite far with just a few lineup changes because we all are good friends and keep in touch outside the band also. We have done only one gig with Aapeli yet but he seems to be very nice person and have great playing skills. So I think he'll be important person for the band in the future!

2. How was the process of writing and recording of "Omega Arcane "? Does the writing process rests with one person or all contribute ideas?

Savolainen and Sirkkiä wrote the whole material together by making quite final demo versions of the songs. The rest of us just trained our parts and of course added some own flavors to our parts before the recordings. OF course we all listened to demos and thought about some changes and like that. Harju wrote all the lyrics and is behind the whole concept of the album.

3. How did the idea of incorporating Excerpts "Omega Arcane” and the collaboration of Petra Lisitsin the voices?

Petra has visited also in our previous albums and it was natural to ask her again because we felt that some parts needed female vocals.

4. "Sinthetic " was your first album and the one that brought you some recognition , do you think that " Omega Arcane is superior to "Sinthetic "? How has the sound of Shade Empire between these two albums? What aspect highlight of "Omega Arcane "?

No i don't see Omega Arcane as a continuum to Sinthetic since we have made two albums in between them. Our sound has progressed naturally over the years. We have still quite dominant keyboard parts but not in the scale of Sinthetic. Guitars and orchestrations give also major sound to Omega Arcane as Sinthetic relied more on keyboards.

5. Your sound is very rich and varied, has elements of melodic death and black, what really define the sound of Shade Empire for someone who does not know you? What are your main musical influences?

Someone named our style as hybrid metal which gives you quite good meaning for what's going on. We have elements from different metal genres as well as from jazz and so on. We all listen to music in a very large scale. Some of us like old death metal as some listen to movie soundtracks and elevator jazz. So our influences vary very much and come form a very wide area.

6. What kind of equipment you use to record music and you use at concerts?

We recorded guitars, bass and keys in our home studios. So there was no need for amplifier stacks that we use in concerts. Computers with Cubase sequencer were in major role of the recording process… The actual instruments are pretty much the same we use live.

7. With a background as important concerts at his back, what tour or concert feels more pleased to have participated in it?

Of course touring abroad is very different than playing in Finland and has it's own advantages but I think playing in Tuska-Festival or Nummirock main stage are the highlights. Metal festivals gather usually large audience and it's great to play outdoors!

8. As for the lyrics of their songs are post-apocalyptic themes, hate, destruction Where was inspired to write the lyrics and why these issues considered important?

As I said, Harju wrote all the lyrics and is behind those stories. I think he gets his ideas from the surrounding world and it's grievances. Those themes mixed with his twisted imagination gives something that I'm not accountable, haha!

9. How did you get started in music? Why did you decide to become a musician? Reap? Today keeping the same enthusiasm as when you started?

I started to play guitar with my friends back in the years. I trained guitar on my own and at my friends' homes. First we played Metallica and such before we began playing with Sirkkiä and making our own songs little by little. As the band progressed and we got our first recording deal, playing has just came a part of living. I don't think I ever actually decided to be a musician, I'd rather say I just grew up with music and the band grew up aside. Today I don't have the same enthusiasm on training things but playing live and hanging with the guys are still the main reasons you get the kicks out of this. The energy and the feeling you get out on gigs is just something you can't get anywhere else!

10. Tell us about the Finnish music scene, how things have changed over the years? How does Shade Empire within the same?

The amount of bands has grown up tremendously and it's harder to get gigs in reasonable terms. At least smaller bands suffer from the lack of audience as the supply is so wide. We have made assorted gigs over the years so I think the audience is eager to see us.

11. Strychneen Studio has been responsible for designing the album, what do you want the cover reflect Omega Arcane and how it relates to the content of the album?

The album cover reflects the whole concept of Omega Arcane very well. It's a scenery of ruins and apocalyptic devastation; the world that's written on the lyrical theme of the album.

12. Another important point for you is the issue of “Omega Arcane" through Candlelight Records, What has it meant for you to belong to Candlelight Records? Are you satisfied with the work they have done? Will follow in the future linked to the seal?

It's great to be part of the legendary Candlelight. They are one the most legendary metal labels around and we are proud to be part of the family! We're very satisfied with their work so far and hope that our cooperation remains strong in the future also!

13. What future plans do you have for Shade Empire, as to show, upcoming releases? Are you satisfied with the response obtained "Omega Arcane "?

We are very satisfied with the response of Omega Arcane. Over all critiques and fans have been very pleased with the album and the feedback has been very incentive. We have a tour in Finland coming in January-February with Wolfheart and some gigs before that in Finland. We have also negotiated about European tour in March but there are still some days open so it's not fully confirmed. Hopefully we get to inform you about that in the very near future!

14. Thank you very much for taking the time to Black Metal Spirit, if you want to add something for the followers of Shade Empire, this is the place . I hope the questions are to your liking.

Thank you! Hope to see you somewhere in Europe next spring!

AEGROR - ENTREVISTA

The band was founded in 2009 with the vision of creating a new style of dark and passionated metal with a unique sound. The result was the debut-record "De Morbis" which was released in 2010. Whereas "De Morbis" was influenced by different styles of black metal, the songs on their 2013 EP "Forgotten Tales..." were more open-minded then ever before and claimed to create something really new. After some line-up changes AEGROR restarted as a quintett and are now working on new music. Instead of walking the old paths the bands focus is on more experimential music with a lot of influences reaching from black metal to jazz and from tech death to post rock and even to genres like classical, pop or electronic music. The 2nd album will be an extreme and crushing avantgarde metal album which is not only outstanding but groundbreaking.

Answers to this interview Mythir, drummer of the band

Good evening , how about all of Geldern ? , Thank you very much for agreeing to answer these questions.

1. Aegror was founded in 2009, how were the beginnings of the band? What do you remember of those first moments? Aegror retains some similarity? With your former band Nebelsturm?

Good evening. You're welcome.

Well in 2009 Nebelsturm has almost came to an end but we seeked new members and found Sethonas. The first song we wrote has been "Resurrection" and we recognized that the style was far away from the old school black metal we've played as Nebelsturm. Due to this we decided to change the name and restart the band. 

And to today Narthaas, me and the song "Resurrection" are the last relics left of Nebelsturm.

2. After the release of your album "De Morbis" in 2010, in recent days Aegror has undergone some lineup changes, through among other things to be a quintet, how these changes have affected the structure of Aegror? Did you ever think to terminate the band?

I'd say there have been two point in our lineup history which influenced us the most.

That has been the point Sethones joined us because his guitar skills opened up new possibilities to us and incite the rest of us to become better even though he left the band in the meantime. And the other point has been Narthaas decision to quit the guitar playing and focus on his vocals. It allows him to be more variable and creative.

3. "Forgotten Tales ..." is your Ep of 2013, how would you describe this work with respect to "De Morbis"? Was really Ep editing this you had planned or are working on another type of release for example an entire album that has been truncated by changes Aegror members?

In fact you're right. The origin plan was to write a full length album with an lyrical concept about the world of the Plaquebreeder we've introduced on "De morbis".

During the writing process we had to realize that this challenge was to hard for us at that time and we decided to delay it. 

But we've already finished some songs we won't waste. Thats the reason why we released them as an EP.

If you read the lyrics you'll recognize that the first four songs are thematically coherent. These are those we wrote for the concept.

4. How is your way of writing and recording, all contribute ideas or comply with a decision of a leader?

We decided to make all decisions on a democratic basis. Everbody is allowed to contribute his ideas and we all decide which one we'll use.

5. What used to recording equipment and equipment used for concerts?

We us everything that sounds good. Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Markbass, Ddrum, Hughes&Kettner, Gibson, ESP, Paiste and so on... 

6. Listening to this "Forgotten Tales ..." I have come to mind bands like Dissection or reminiscent of the Scandinavian melodic death, I suppose that the influences of the five members of Aegror will be varied, but what you consider bands as a major influence on the sound of Aegror?

The funny part here is that no one of us even listen to Dissection but people often compares us with them. I'd say the major influence changes from time to time but at the moment we're mainly influenced by bands like Naglfar or Hypocrisy.

7. Another striking aspect of this EP is the sound made , very professional, who was in charge of production? Is this a look you cared and that you especially can take a leap of quality?

Yes we definitly cared about the sound. Back then as we released "De morbis" we've been pleased with its sound but in the following time we had to recognize that its not as perfect as we want it to be. Our songs have become better and the sound should compare to it. So we decided to record the EP in the Metallurgy studios in Mönchengladbach by Andreas Funke and he did an awesome job.

8. Diseases and mental disorders were lyrical themes present in your debut album and are also present in this Ep, why do you consider interesting and important to deal with these issues in their lyrics?

The reason is quite simple. I work with handicapped people and I had to learn a lot about different diseases, disorders etc. In the beginning of Aegror I wrote the lyrics mostly and my job was my main inspiration. 

9. Whenever you have given considerable importance to concerts, what next concert is planned? What has been your best show?

Our next concert will be the Metalnight Xanten with Amputation, Witchtower and some other bands. It will be the first show with the new lineup and we're pretty excited. 

My favorite show was the headliner slot at the Taunus Open Air III. It has been a great show and an awesome evening at all.

10. Who designed the cover of "Forgotten Tales ..."? What purports to represent her and how it relates to the content of the Ep?

The cover is made by Roan Suvelis. He did the whole artwork incl. photos. The whole style is a combination of the "Forgotten Tales..." idea with the burning book on the one hand. And on the other hand the dark "1984" like world as its described in "Behind walls" 

11. "De Morbis " was self-produced , and this " Forgotten Tales ... " is available for free download on your page , by hand, is No record label was interested in publishing your work or believe that in this way you have more control over your work ? On the other hand, why the decision to offer the Ep for free?

We decided to offer the EP for free because of our experiences with "De morbis". We spent a lot of money to produce the CD and we had to realize that we won't ever sell enough to refinance it.

So if the first the cd was hard to sell why should the second one sell easier? 

Our hope was that the free EP would help us to become more known and perhaps people who listens to the EP will buy the CD too. And it seems to work.

12. What future plans do you have for the band regarding upcoming releases, upcoming concerts. ?

We'll play a show this month and we're looking for more opportunities to play life but we're focussing on teaching our old songs to the new members and than starting the writing process for the next album.

13. Thank you very much for taking the time to Black Metal Spirit, if you want to add something for the followers of Aegror , this is the place . I hope the questions are to your liking.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity. The only thing I have to say is: Everyone who reads this, go to www.aegror.de , download the "Forgotten Tales..." and enjoy 25 mins of badass black/death metal !!!

FORGOTTEN TALES... (2013)

Tras su larga duración del 2010 "De Morbis", los germanos Aegror nos ofrecen cinco temas nuevos en formato Ep en este "Forgotten Tales..." que sirve para que sigan estando presentes en la actualidad del metal extremo. Su música se mueve entre el death y el black, pero sobre todo llama la atención el sonido tan bueno conseguido, muy profesional y de una gran calidad. Tampoco es que nos estén ofreciendo nada no hecho antes por otras bandas, el sonido death melódico sueco está presente en sus composicionoes, junto con guiños a bandas clásica como Dissection, pero lo hacen bien, cuidando los detalles a la perfección, sirva de ejemplo el tema "Behind Walls", que cierra el disco, riff pegadizo, reminiscencias thrash y un buen equilibrio entre las partas melódicas y las más agresivas. Cinco canciones agresivas y directas que nos presentan a una banda muy profesional que seguramente, difícil sería equivocarse, darán un paso importante en su siguiente obra. (7,9).

1. Buried in Oblivion 04:29

 Lost in this world, failed to refuse the truth. 

Trapped in this sphere, I try to bear remembrance. 

Enfold by chains, forced to remain silent. 

Thoughts of escape, banished and drowned. 

In despair and agony I stray around alone. 

All dismay and misery have dazed my mind in blame. 

This world is cold and so am I, 

Lost and erased. 

No moment last to the end. 

Can you hear me? 

But what remains? 

Are we condamned to suffer? 

Eternally we wait, 

for the moment to come. 

A celebration of sorrow, 

celebration of guilt. 

A celebration of pain. 

Buried in oblivion. 

The night i fucked my memorys 

I've burned and denied my feelings 

My burden and sacrifice became so valueless. 

All regret and repentance is lost in ignorance. 

The torment and exhaustion another wasted toil. 

This world is cold and so am I, 

Lost and erased. 

No moment last to the end. 

Can you hear me? 

But what remains? 

Are we condamned to suffer? 

Eternaly we wait, 

for the moment to come. 

A celebration of sorrow, 

celebration of guilt. 

A celebration of pain. 

Buried in oblivion.

2. Prophecy 04:30

 I listened to his words 

He told me of a legend 

About the ancient genesis 

The origin of this world 

Once there was a virus 

Infectious and resistant 

One being 

Will come 

To execute 

The prophecy 

One creature 

Will crave 

to fulfill 

The old forgotten tales 

of a new born virus 

Morbid saga of plaque and pain 

The way of our lifes 

written down in our gene 

Selected to defile the future 

There was no resistance 

Against this new mutation 

Epidemic rise of failure 

A septic break of dawn 

The arrival of ill 

Relentless damnation 

One being 

Will come 

To execute 

The prophecy 

One creature 

Will crave 

to fulfill 

The old forgotten tales 

of a new born virus 

Morbid saga of plaque and pain 

The way of our lifes 

written down in our gene 

Selected to defile the future 

But this is not the end 

the war has just began 

One creature 

Will rise 

deep within you

3. Manipulation 04:19

  Carved in eschar 

Written with blood 

Tale of your life 

Losing your freedom 

Controlled by him 

Moribund moron 

Forget your beloved 

Taking leave now 

Surrender to him 

Live! Work! Mourn! Die! 

Follow the rules! 

Kneel! Crawl! Hide! Pray! 

Accept your fate! - You damn... 

Fool, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your forlorn live 

and assimilate 

Now, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your fucking live 

(and) be frail for manipulation 

Believe in despair 

Accept the truth 

Decline your past 

Dare the mutation 

You won't regret 

Fullfill your fate 

Don't disappoint us 

Adopt our manner 

Ignore your will 

Depraved and complete 

Praise your master 

Assimilation 

Live! Work! Mourn! Die! 

Follow the rules! 

Kneel! Crawl! Hide! Pray! 

Accept your fate! - You damn... 

Fool, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your forlorn live 

and assimilate 

Now, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your fucking live 

(and) be frail for manipulation 

See him, the man behind. The shade inside your brain. 

The fate and the fortune. The root of all insane. 

Feel him, mortal fear. The doubt inside your heart. 

The curse and the blessing. The face behind your harm. 

Live! Work! Mourn! Die! 

Follow the rules! 

Kneel! Crawl! Hide! Pray! 

Accept your fate! - You damn... 

Fool, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your forlorn live 

and assimilate 

Now, forsake your hope, forsake your will, forsake your fucking live 

(and) be frail for manipulation

4. One to Lead 04:37

I deform your soul 

Void your mind 

I speak to the sick 

I destroy the flesh of men 

Plague is live 

I, I will shift your shape 

I desecrate your beliefs 

I, I am the one to lead 

The insane 

Fall down, pretend to me 

I scrape so violently 

The fake truth of of your face 

Kneel down and bow to me 

Beg for inequity 

Slavish obedience 

I'm the god of pestilence 

I am the one to lead you 

Far away, into blackness 

I am the last who leads you 

Far away, into sickness 

I, I force you to repent 

End your live 

I, infect your kind 

I, I show you the way 

Life demise 

I, I breath all of your lies 

I, I avoid the light 

I, I see through the eyes 

Of a traitor 

Fall down, pretend to me 

I scrape so violently 

The fake truth of of your face 

Kneel down and bow to me 

Beg for inequity 

Slavish obedience 

I'm the god of pestilence 

I am the one to lead you 

Far away, into blackness 

I am the last who leads you 

Far away, into sickness 

I infect your kind and your wreched mind 

I speak to the sick 

And see through the eyes 

Breath all of your lies 

Plaque is life 

I am the one to lead you 

Far away, into blackness 

I am the last to lead you 

Far away, into sickness

5. Behind Walls 05:24

 When darkness rises liars in wait 

There is no god above you 

When fire is raging faceless agents watching your steps 

Stay away from (the) truth 

They 

Stare 

Away from all humanity 

Observed by cold machines 

No longer safe from murder 

Of common sense and thoughts 

Wasted knowledge takes away your mind 

Lack of comprehension 

Kneel down face down learn to obey 

Give up for slavery 

Now we reached the point 

Where you cant turn at all 

Society has failed 

The system won the fight 

When this world breaks down 

In which you were born 

When the sky glows roan 

Time is there to rise 

Walking like ghosts 

Through cities and streets 

It¥s all so quiet and still 

Not even the wind blows 

Cold machines 

Burn the ground 

Fight against 

What held us down 

Break free for 

Freedom 

Away from all humanity 

Observed by cold machines 

No longer safe from murder 

Of common sense and thoughts
