As I finally close my eyes
They fuck my head and mess my shit
I cannot hear more lies
Show me a throat to slit
I felt from the very start
They stole my sacred light
My sleep just fell apart
As I write these words in the dead of night
Awake and tired from this endless mess
It’s total chaos, my brotherhood
Through rubble, where’s happiness
There is no hope, It’s gone for good
I want to do the same
Stuck in this fucking loop
In this no man's land that is my brain
Where is my army? Where is my army?
So join the troops
When I look around, all I see are tombs
It’s never been this clear
Sleep in the toxic fumes
Fear!
Wash away the fear
All we try is to wash away the fear
Fear!
They invade our homes, screw with our lives
It doesn’t matter where I go
I’m feeling lost, stabbed by their knives
But I can still clear the path for you blow by blow
(solo Johnny)
Our wallets can feel the pain
Kill our drive and we're left to crawl
Like spineless larva in the discount lane
Sell us shots for which we fall
As they stab us in the back
All they show are bloody smiles
My mask is about to crack
My fire burning for many miles
Has it come for us, time to die?
Or are we fighting to be free?
Until the end we will try
The final fight for liberty

Dominate Them All
04:17
|
|||
|
If each time you get up from the fucking ground
You take a hit and fall down hard
You’ve already lost
Free will gives you time to think about your life
Think once more, why you’re still lying on your face
You’ve lost
Punching your fists in the wind
Don’t be a fool
Givin’ in to the blows of your foes
This battle’s about you
Your choices, your dreams, your life
You want to see it through
You must dominate them all
Take the time to figure out
When you face your enemy
Don’t ever look away
Never lose sight of the end game
Don’t let yourself get down
Even if losing makes you stronger
Will you gain or will you drown?
Will it help or sink you deeper?
(solo Willy)
(solo Johnny)
All to dominate!
At times you fall apart
Crushed by your toughest setbacks
The strength of a heavy heart
Will help you counter the attacks
Of your life taken apart
By the pain of your misfortunes
By letting yourself down
You agree to a lesser life
Illusion of a shiny crown
Making you forget the strife
Aren’t you tired of eating the pain?
You are fed with crumbs
And only fed with crumbs you‘re given

Sold Our Soul
05:31
|
|||
|
It had been for ages
We’d pushed it to the wall
Playing all night long, sacrifice our soul
From within our cages
Creation is our call
Music makes us strong, and will keep us feeling whole
We sold our soul
To heavy metal
Despite our many blunders
We never stay at bay
Music show us wonders
We harvest along the way
Been on many benders
Followed by deceit
Inspiration graced us splendours
That we lay before your feet
Listen to us growl
It's stronger than us all
Tailspin through our lives
Like a wrecking ball
Not behaving at our best
As if it’s meant to be
We gotta run away
Pay the fucking price, nothing is free
On the short and narrow, we’ve spent too much time
To end up with nothing to show in our hand
Shot in the back with arrows, we’re victims of this crime
Create ourselves the path we take to reach the promised land
(solo Johnny)
We sold our soul to heavy metal
The hand that feeds us is the one that kills us
Clarity has finally struck
We need this to change our luck
We sold our soul
We sold our soul
To heavy metal
For this noble cause, we left everything behind
So we can take the wheel on this crazy ride
To the sound of the drum that leads our life
Off the beaten path to find real pride
And we keep on riding

In The Maze Of The Lost
04:23
|
|||
|
I’m blinded by the need
The wounds I don’t want to see
On the floor left to bleed
Is this the life of the free?
I don’t know who to trust
I’m a lock without a key
In the maze of the lost
Crawling through the mud on my knees
While trying to compose
Old demons from my troubled past
Snorting blow up my nose
Kidding myself, this time is the last
Once more, you took your last!
It all feels like a fucking joke
Like a sailboat with no mast
Sacrificed on the altar of the God coke
I’m told self mockery is essential
In my case more a disease
My life isn’t theoretical
I will rise from my knees
Broaden my horizons
I didn’t have a clue
Burn the midnight oil
Wanted to live something new
(solo Willy)
It has been a long long time
That I’ve found any peace
My self-inflicted wounds’ a crime
Lost sleep over this it has to cease
Artificial smile from my life before
The pain I feel I know is real
Help me get up from the floor
Leave the maze and show my will of steel

Where I Belong
06:12
|
|||
|
This ain’t the first battle you wage, I feel
More often than not, you won them, it shows
Most of your rivals have fallen under your blows
But this time, you’re fighting against me
And I’ll never give in to your ordeals
I will charge in straight
No matter my enemy
You can always try to move around my weight
I will go right ahead
You can try to kill me
But mark my words I won't wait to be dead
Before I am where I belong
Where I belong
Everywhere I see, piled up bodies on the trail
Uncertainty has made them fail
You ruined their lives but you won't make mine Hell
From all of us, I have the guts to tell you that I will prevail
Frozen by their losses, the wounded yelled to me
’’You will be annihilated, you better turn away’’
So I’ve heard that, you don’t give access
To this state of happiness
This is the belief of the fearful
Fuck'em all!
Nobody's gonna make me fall
(solo Willy)
Skepticism is related to our past
The more we doubt the less we act
Present becomes past and this is at last
The force that will have the greatest impact on my future
The greatest impact on my future
From now on I’ll follow my heart
And won't let myself be slowed by hesitation
The sacred fire will light my way out
That will lead me to my destination
Without a shadow of a doubt
I got all I need, faith of steel
To access the land of the leal
Don’t get me wrong
Soon I will be right where I belong
Don’t get me wrong
I will stay strong
And soon be right where I belong
(solo Johnny)

Basking In Paradise
05:02
|
|||
|
Why, from such a fertile soil
We only harvest sand
And the hard labour of our spoils
Ends up in other hands
Those of the ruthless crooks
Who steal the treasures of our land
And get back on their clouds
To lounge and to command
They sow misery here
And cultivate our fear
We're stuck in Hell and bleed
By these swindlers who burgle and scud
Like Nathaniel reads
Life is made up of marble and mud
Tied up by the feet
To a world without common sense
We are reduced to slavery
Forced to feed on our misery
Always bound by defeat
Looking at this shiny fence
It's us, the poor, who pay the price
For them to bask in paradise
Every spadeful we sweat
Dig our own fucking grave
And a shovelful of thrall
Is a shovelful more to pave
The ground of the promise land
Where those who trample us, strut
While thinking to capitalize
On the little that we got
Greedy leaders never get enough
To better digest money gobbled up
They drink from our wells
And finely belch the rest as our faces swell
Only nauseating wind
Another harvest more
To only collect hot air and sand from the chore
A stinking smell of money lingering
But the only rights we have here
It's breathing and digging
So we dig hungry and slowly disappear

Death Silence
04:49
|

|
Mental destruction
Where was I to start
The first word to express how I felt
was lost, so lost
like a stray bullet that never reached its target
The blank page messed with my mind
I put down words, I saw phrases appear
But they faded each time, It wasn’t so clear
My thoughts were always falling apart
When all I wanted is offer support
It just felt so wrong
All I wanted is to be strong
Right now feel the sound
Realise we are all the same
Evil forces, underground
Wanting to feed from our very brain
The party can end fast
So let's just have a blast
Right now, right now forget about everything
What are you going to bring?
Even when I believed my words were said in vain
I had to write to soothe the pain
The lack of clarity from which I ached
reminded me of the general confusion
in which the whole of humanity had lately sunk
Right now can you feel the sound
Do you realise we are all the same?
We no longer hear each other speak
but look at the havoc we wreak
It wasn't just words we were missing
It was you! It was us!
Let's bury this death silence
Which we allowed to dig our graves
And celebrate as one
The return of the life we crave
As we steer our lives back on track
Leave behind the darkest chapter of our past
Let us write a brand new page
Filled with promise for all
A blank page may be haunting
But also allows us to expand our thoughts
The taste of true freedom and creation

The Day I'll Join You
04:25
|
|||
|
Is death the one that found you
Or did you seek her out?
We’ll never known what lead you there
No warning left, we were all knocked out
These sort of questions
I’ve asked them and still do
As time is ticking by
No answers will come through
The seasons change
But each one of them reminds me of us
And the little I have left of you
‘Till the day I’ll join you
I hope when they die
People aren’t so mean
Aren’t so mean
Paradise, angels and all
Is it really as we see it here?
If that’s the case
I hope, once they pass
People aren’t so mean
You left us for a better place
Down here, it’s getting worse
Stuff blowing up here and there
When it’s not the bombs
It’s the cases on the rise
Crashing and burning
Sometimes I feel like human nature
is the trigger to all this misery
I still see the world we knew
But I’ll never get why you left
If I am being honest at times
I can’t wait for the day I’ll join you
For the day I’ll join you

Brave The Tempest
04:21
|
|||
|
If the wind whistles loud enough
For you to hear it
Listen to what it has to say
It's been too long you’ve been there
Constantly beat the air
It is now time to act in another way
It whistles for a reason
Give it your attention
You can't always flee
If the gusts knock on your door, open it
Messy it's gonna be
But a wind of change is needed
A storms’ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless
Stop complaining in your comfort zone
It’s time for you to leave your throne
Throw caution to the winds
Enter the turmoil, defy the hurricane
Don't let fear spoil your life into pain
A storms’ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless
As long as it’s in you, there will be a riot
It will never be calm and quiet
Shed light on this part of your life
And change the way you act
It will be a start for ending this strife
And one day the sun will be back
(solo Willy)
(solo Johnny)

"T.N.T."
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Oi! Oi! Oi!
See me ride out of the sunset
On your color TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
Don't you start no fight
'Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T., and I'll win the fight
T.N.T., I'm a power load
T.N.T., watch me explode
I'm dirty, mean, I'm mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand?
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
Run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess me 'round
'Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
T.N.T., and I'll win the fight
T.N.T., I'm a power load
T.N.T., watch me explode
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
I'm dynamite
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And I'll win the fight
T.N.T
Oi! Oi! Oi!
I'm a power load
T.N.T., watch me explode!

about
Lyrically: The album tackles various themes such as personal struggles, global issues like economic inequalities and social injustices. Grief is also one of the subjects explored on the album. Despite this, the prevailing messages conveyed in most of the lyrics are about perseverance and courage to keep moving forward despite hardships. I strive to write introspective lyrics, expressing emotions like sadness, frustration, and anger, but also hope and determination. The lyrics encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and take action to overcome the obstacles in their path. Listeners can expect an album that addresses universal themes.
Musically: All To Dominate skillfully blends various musical elements, ranging from Black/Death Metal to Heavy Metal and Rock, offering a rich and diverse sonic experience. Powerful guitar moments, crazy solos, and impactful rhythms demonstrate undeniable mastery of the instruments. However, the melodic and melancholic sections serve as a reminder that emotion remains at the core of each composition. This balance between technical expertise and emotional depth creates an intense and emotionally charged musical experience!

Visions of Infinihility
by Carnosussupported by 4 fans who also own “All To Dominate”
Hints of late 80s and 90s metal are evident throughout.This is a band that respects and honors traditions. How about those tongue trills?! Great shit oozing everywhere from this banger!

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!
