Seeking predator
Narrowing systems
Mind suppressed, into a
self-indulgent structure
Systematic oppression
guides a way to suffer
Sort the mass into classes
Our lives are written out
Feeding on torment
Countless years
Living off anguish
of their fears
Trapped in cycles
Tasked operations
Prison or cubicle?
It's all been planned
Contradicting values
Allows no input
from you to alter immoral views
Immobilized to this
We sit as prey, while they feast
on our unconscious labor
Uplift the corporate empire
For far too long we have been deemed
victims of this circle
An idle stand upon one's view of this chronicle
Mindlessly wasting away
Away
Away
Placed into a socialized box
A life known as slaves
As well as generations to follow
Seeking predator
Narrowing systems
Mind suppressed, Into a
Self-indulgent structure
Feeding on torment
Countless years
Living off anguish
Of their fears
Trapped in cycles
Tasked operations
It's all been planned

Amaurotic Mass
05:40

The movement of this herd
misled by corrupted shepherds
Promised a life of virtue,
just buy into their lies
Lies
Born from misconception
An elaborate scheme used through the times
to have the mass population feeding their avarice
An empire that will feed off all the land
Taking this world for their own
Figures built upon greed
Shepards made to trick and mislead
Forced to live out the creed
Suffer unto a dark anatomy
Fear mongering since their youth
Do not question, or be punished
You will bow
How can you allow yourself to lead so many souls
with the promise of light?
When in reality, you’re living through a false veil
Fallen to another of man’s fallacies
Cynically blind to what’s real
Mislead path has lead to outlook of
infectious, narcissistic state of mind
This denial of true self must meet its end
The breathing of this practice is tyranny
Call, Calling to all
End this tyranny
Call, Calling to all
Kill this tyranny
Kill
Forced to live out the creed
Suffer unto a dark anatomy
Anatomy

Induced Sadism
09:16
|
|||
|
Obscure perception of violence visualized
Woven, placed into our hands, normalized
Laughing in the face of pure
Pure
Steered away
by an excessive need
to see out this vicarious existence
Manipulated into being viewed as a game
Saturated, inducing their sadism
Our sadism
Cruel strobe
Image burned
Engraved in our distant cerebrum
Fuck
Its fucking far to late
This system fuels, trains, kills
Its fucking spine wont break
lest we prevail
Shit won't change
Hate spreads through our screens
Regardless of if we choose, to indulge
these products desensitize us all
In their hands we are the ones, set as pawns
Virtually trained to kill or be killed
To Kill
How far with this material
driven huger take you?
Is this really what you wish
to indulge upon?
Bonded to our minds
Shackled to its hive
Molded in our lives
Addicted to these highs
Obscure materials built to dehumanize
Warfare, shoved into our face, advertised
Lashing out the face of pure
Steered away
by an excessive need
to see out this vicarious existence
Regardless of if we choose to indulge
these products desensitize us all
Incentivize the being
to immerse beyond
into intrinsic state
Before to long we will become
a mindless rotation
Picking apart until there is no more

No regard for natural rights
Only goal is self interest
Strip livestock with no remorse
Since the birth they were
destined to be slaughtered
Labeled, as witless cattle
Allows them not to feel
Isolation, all they know
Cold crates, becomes their entity
Raised by a trough
Locked to a stance
Breeding in one's own shit
Since the birth they were
destined to be slaughtered
Life purchased to sell
Viewed only as product
Labeled, as witless cattle
Allows them not to heal
Isolation, all they know
Cold crates, become their entity
Raped for bodily product
Unaware of what they’ve lost
Sentenced, end of life
Met by a captive bolt
Bolt
Cauterized with a brand
Added to the numbers
Just another asset
to this egocentric monstrosity
Forced upon growth enhancements
Severe swelling infection
No fucking aid through this cycle of pain
Using machines to exploit,
their innocence
Switching to robotics,
increase the productivity
Disrupting natural cycles
Abusing nature's gift
Natures gift
Born into a cage
Death is fucking fate
Fate

Ancient Animosity
08:43
|
|||
|
Clashing minds dissipate
Arguments of our ignorance
Allowing its reaping echo
to enter the holy spinal gate
to this ancient cortex
Torment spawned from lies
Fucking lies
The legacy of the homosapien narrative
With thought comes judgment
Release hold of this fence
False ends; Questioned ends
Dramatized pointlessness
Consuming abhorrent void
Engulfed by your animosity
Drags down the whole
Fueled by intuitive drive
Necessitating the path of obtuse obstinance
This perfect dichotomy of opposites
separate rather than collect
Aversion drives
Greed blinds
Splitting the glowing link
between our sacred connection
Growing divergence
Dwindling morality
Leading a distant, depressing,
incompatible species into oblivion
Torment spawned from lies
Fucking lies
Engulfed by your ego
Drags down the whole, whole
Fueled by intuitive eyes
False ends; Divided ends
Dramatized pointlessness
Consuming abhorrent void
This perfect dichotomy of opposites
separate rather than
collect into one complete puzzle

Cave

Flames
Casted shadows illudes this reality
Perception viewed through our phantoms
Attached to the physical
Self inflicted chains holding back
ones higher self
Blessed with light
Arrogance blinds the truth
Shatter restraints
Seeking the sun
Stepping stones
away from the cave
Long gradual build of melioration
Explore this journey
Eliminate your deprivation
Internal drive, the earliest compass
has led a rise in brain activity
Allows a greater passage of thought
Forming ideas apart from material
Infinite net, test your wonder
Embrace the code, fractal whole
Become the code
Realization of conscious self
Step to a greater being
Discover the true potential
Which lies inside the human mind
Discovery of the spark
Spit from the source
The gift to wield the flame
Commences the branching
away from the cave
Share the flame
Burn bright together
Unify the eternal as one
Stronger as a pack
Gain the advantage of this mind
Breath the light that paves the way
to sacred self
Self
Indulge in wonders that speak to heart
Strip away that which holds us back
from expanding out with an open reach
Reach
Stronger as pack
Gain the advantage
We are part of a larger story
of this planets ability to produce life
from its ancient waters
A long and patient ascend
to summon this defining chapter
built over eons
Grow
So many still lost
behind flames
Shine on as a beacon
in this cave

Habitat
06:38
|

|
Hopeless against
this force of intrusion
Timeless woodland
stripped down of resources
Folded windpipe
its air is growing thin
Cut down, forced out
former inhabitants
Some may describe it as nigh
for this breed to reach its height
Building, plot
Conceiving
Holding leverage over
outcome of landscape to come
To come
Total collapse
natures ecosystem
Rivers run dry
results in mass extinction
There is no attempt to salvage
Give no second thought just proceed
Design a way to thrive
Protect this way of life
Life
Strengthen each link of this pack
Determined to secure this new form of habitat
This new form
Total collapse
natures ecosystem
Rivers run dry
results in mass extinction
Extinction
Hunt
Track down every link
Overturn every rock
No longer a mysterious
vast uncharted landscape
Hopeless against
this force of intrusion
Cut down, forced out
former inhabitants

Self Nemesis
07:52
|
|||
|
Broken mindset, but who’s to blame?
Disgust with oneself in the way
Given chances, didn’t even want to fuckin change
Test of life, one by one they begin to kill themselves
Selfs
Keep blaming the others but ask who is the real
enemy?
We’ve tried to deny this, uphold the opponents lie
Each day that we choose to prove hopeless to heal
In life, false self is our true nemesis
No way to find a way around or a way out
than to choose self interest in place that would
turn itself onto its back just to fuck you over
To much encouragement given to the shit filled
egotistical mind of the complacent
who will fall onto their backs when confronted by their true self
Self
Overthinking altercations
Darkest emotions, take ahold
Due to image
Shunned
Thrown out
Cast away
No way to find a way around or a way out
of this bonded cycle that will continue to
give back what has been being put forward
Given chances, didn’t even want to fuckin change
Test of life, one by one they begin to kill themselves
Selfs
Keep blaming the others, but ask who is the real
enemy?
Darkest emotions, take ahold
Due to image
Shunned
Thrown out
Cast away
Cast away

Realms of Exquisite Morbidity
by Malignant Altar
supported by 38 fans who also own “Habitat”
I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise.
go to album
supported by 36 fans who also own “Habitat”
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
