A Thing of Nightmares

by Mindrazer

supported by

RATMAN Not just Heavy Metal ... there is something special like in Left To Rot or in Better Dead Favorite track: Better Dead.

Rich Kinman Just straight-up metal \m/ good band

baphomet_crowley Dear Mindrazer. Fuck yeah! I'm almost 50 and I've been waiting for a metal album like this for years. Great riffs, grinding but listenable counter melodies, harmony and chaos. Vocals like Dio and Meatloaf had a baby. Guys, you literally set the bar so high I can see Aliens head banging to A Thing of Nightmares. Fuck. Yeah. Favorite track: In the Corner of Your Eye.

1.	Entombed In Time 05:36	lyrics	buy track
We go through life as though the past’s alive And then we die, buried in the dirt We always say that we’ve gotta seize the day And then we dwell on nothing Entombed in time Life passes by Entombed in time Dead days gone by Full of regret, animusly brooding Hand of death clawing at your back Although it passes, you still yearn for closure You can’t exhume the past Don’t turn back, It’s over Sarcophagus of time, it’s over Never going back, it’s over Entombed in time, its’ over We all lie, we all die and life passes by Don’t you see? Set it free, its entombed in time Look ahead, it’s all dead and life passes by Don’t you see? Set it free, its entombed in time We all lie, we all die and life passes by Don’t you see? Set it free, its entombed in time
2.	Suffer in Silence 04:05	lyrics	buy track
The cold hand of tyranny Wraps its grip right round my throat Not a word to breach my lips Liberty, dignity All of this slips from my grip As the torrent rages on Light the torch and ignite the flame In this glass world, we’re all to blame We suffer in silence The wrong side of history Eternal winter has arrived Stay outta the cold, you better stay in line Trust the voice of docility Sanguine stain on the iron fist Dissents cease to exist Conditioned to embrace the chains Crack the waves of an awaked sea They’ll come for you then they’ll come for me We suffer in silence The wrong side of history Justice dies in silence Suppressing liberty We will make history and take our lives back Destroy the enemy Bereft of empathy Awoken zombies with stapled lips Kiss the ring on the iron fist
3.	Left to Rot 06:09	lyrics	buy track
Destitute, carrion ridden in squalor we lie in state Despite perverse notions of pulling us from the muck Shit covered, maggot infested corpses deprived of rites Ash to ash, dust to dust we’re left to become dirt They promised us Resurrection They desert us Rot, Rot, Rot, Left to Left to rot Poverty traps, distorted facts and they say it's working A pseudo-Marxist lie that they shove down our throats We buy the lie and vote thinking it will ease the burden We shot ourselves in the face You promised us Resurrection You desert us Rot, Rot, Rot, Left to Left to rot A slow crawl to an unmarked grave and they said they’ve helped. They spend so much money on bullshit, in shit we rot As foretold in Atlas Shrugged, we’re still fucking dying We need to cure the disease, not ease the symptoms Like corpses we rot, Like corpses we rot, dead bodies without last rights, Like corpses we rot, Rot, Rot, Rot, Left to rot Eternally, we are bleeding, this remedy, isn't working It's time we do what Friedman said, ‘Cause if we don’t, we will Rot
4.	In the Corner of Your Eye 06:06	lyrics	buy track
Nothing more remains of me, and our memories fades from thee Consumed by the beast, None to read my elegy None dream in breathless sleep, and none to mourn for me Bereft of legacy, wander lost I find no peace Can’t you feel, my ward of cold Ensconced in fear, of faceless ghosts A feast incurred, a curse bestowed Consuming me, blur your view My love you fear, our bond forgot Visage dissolved, memories gone Your fallen knight, a poltergeist Like nothing lost, least not to you Be aware, I’m in the corner of your eye Always there, in the corner of your eye Don’t be scared, I’m in the corner of your eye Neverwhere, In the corner of your eye Life goes on, like nothing new Another man, providing for you Usurp my home and my progeny too Now it’s me who's haunting you I see it now, it’s coming into view Blessed by doom, you're getting consumed too The monstrosity, that took me from you Expands its maw, now you’re a specter too Be aware, I’m in the corner of your eye Always there, In the Corner of Your Eye Be scared, I’m in the corner of your eye Neverwhere, you’re all about to die I’m in the corner of your eye I’m in the corner of your eye It’s in the corner of your eye Neverwhere, you’re all about to die
5.	Knightfall 05:35	lyrics	buy track
They stand and fight yet they fear me Mental torment from my horrifying gaze They call me the knight of fear Can’t imagine the terror they feel, I'm the face they see when they close their eyes. Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you Havoc and bedlam gives me pleasure Murder and mayhem, such a soothing sight They call me the knight of chaos Brother slaughter brother, Caught in the wretched web of my lies Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you Knight of pain I am he Won’t you cry and suffer Doesn’t it hurt I won’t let you die You must drown in sorrow Oh the night always falls, even on lightest days Oh the dark always calls, to break the light away Oh the night always falls, shadows engulf us all The night always falls The night… always… Falls! Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you Oh the knight always falls Oh the darkness is calling you
6.	The Misanthropist 06:11	lyrics	buy track
I see the beauty in the silence I take my own life in obscene ecstasy Eleven tell the tale of an end yet to be Anti-cosmos take us beyond the event horizon Humanity must fall Mutually assured destruction feel the burn Eleven bring us chaos and the end One-dimensional time is standing still What even is life anyway? In the expanse, what role does it play? Could there be truth in the chaos? The black light could shine on the misanthropist Humanity must fall Mutually assured destruction feel the burn Eleven bring us chaos and the end One-dimensional time is standing still Rejoice and perish in the darkness Reject cosmos and its lies Eleven Angles lead us down the pathway to chaos Travel beyond the light of the stars Ave Satanas Die in the darkness Embrace the chaos Die in the darkness Embrace the chaos Embrace the hate of life God’s great mistake must die Mislead by lies and order Chaos will rise You all will fucking DIE
7.	Extractor 04:51	lyrics	buy track
History, doesn't matter anymore Shatter limits, of comprehension Aberration, lost to time Psychic powers, distortion strike Extractor Surgical precision Intellect devourer Off the precipice of knowledge and wisdom Its a thing, a thing of nightmares You feel its call The psionic pull You feel it’s wicked tendrils creeping down your neck There's numbness now A soothing haze And the mindrazer Extracts your fucking brain World beyond, mystic conspiracy Eternal slavery or craniotomy Psionic conflux, proboscis surgery Consume knowledge Your mind is mine
8.	Better Dead 04:07	lyrics	buy track
We can’t live our lives in a fantasy Close the book, reality is dirt There’s just too damn many mouths to feed A million pigs who can’t let go of mommy’s tete Don’t tread on me, its join or die Wanna be free or live a lie Listen to reason or follow the hive If you ask me You’re better dead Lets not forget the other side Ethnic cleansing and a fucking genocide Either way thousands of people die And the secret police will never tell you why Don’t tread on me, its join or die Wanna be free or live a lie Listen to reason or follow the hive If you ask me You’re better dead You’re better dead (Than red) Life in the breadline (or gulag) You’re better dead (than a fascist) Same color, still dead How can you say that the USA could be better that way If it were me, I’d take the bill of rights or my life Two warring sects of autocracy Conflicting virtues and how they think the world should be I guess we’ll never learn from history We still cling to these broken Teutonic ideologies Don’t tread on me, its join or die Wanna be free or live a lie Listen to reason or follow the hive If you ask me You’re better dead
9.	Crusader 06:26	lyrics	buy track
Heathens, the Beast, Finns of Tavastia The lething called, unleash righteous wrath With frozen tears, the dragon wakes The Beast of the sea blasphemes the father’s name We follow Erik, bringer of law To feral kings who fornicate with the earth We swedes march, the fist of god Today we spill our blood on Finnish snow We stand across, a frozen field Here we will meet our eternity Here lay my body, here lay my blood After I bury my sword into heathen skulls Sons of Ukko, repent unto him, Cleanse your souls, and succumb to Sverige's grace Steady my lance, the call sounds to charge Gallup forth, I’ll meet the lord today Blast to the front, shields in a wall, steady we ride, break the line We flank to the right, they fall to the left, never give up, bringers of light Can you see the fire Show no remorse, never relent, comrades may fall, hold the line Giving them ground, die where you stand, fill in the gaps, heed the command Can you see the light Can you see the fire, Can you see the light Aye! Aye! Blades of cleansing light, Aye! I think I see the light The bishop falls at Köyliö lake, I give my life to the crusade A Finn pulls me from my horse, I engage and draw my sword We lock blades, I meet his eyes, A bitter end, I find my fate As his ax impales my chest, I thank the lord for Erik’s grace The Crusade, my last command, My life for Sverige's hand I accept my last command, My blood to cleanse this land

about

Mindrazer Hackettstown, New Jersey

Combining the anthemic melodies of Traditional and Power Metal, the precise, aggressive attack of Thrash, and twists of dark intensity borrowed from Second-Wave Black Metal, Mindrazer play a style as familiar as it is fresh. With their sound sharpened and polished to all the cold, hard, vicious elegance of a steel razor to the brain, Mindrazer are back with a vengeance, and no mind is safe. ... more

This is the best band that carries the spirit of Slough Feg onwards while at the same time offering a more sophisticated approach to composition than nearly every other band in the genre. Truly this is heavy/epic metal 2.0 John Aktypis
