cory_m This is the kind of pissed off, blackened thrash I enjoy! Favorite track: The Serpent's Cycle.

sashavonkarl74 Impatiently awaiting the release date of the full album. The video release from the Serpent's Cycle is plain grandiose !! Favorite track: Prophet of Deceit.

scottmitchell74 This is insanely good. So fast, so melodic, great female vocals. Just... floored!

Chest is tight Hard to breath Tick like a bomb, don't wanna explode You got me in a choke hold Stuck in my head Gotta find my centre No rhyme or reason, body's saying fuck me I just want to be free Trying not to take offence Your brain is stunted You're making things tense Your identity is fronted EGO TRIP! They think they're so slick I think I'm gonna be sick GET A GRIP! Don't respect my elder Why would I respect the offender? POWER TRIP! You think you know it all You don't think I recall GONNA FLIP! Cuz you say I'm crazy You say my memory is hazy You will reap what you have sown! Keep on walking This has gotta stop What's the point of talking If you don't wanna know the truth I'm fine with being wrong Just wanna do the research Ignorance won't make you strong And it's not gunna give you self worth EGO TRIP! They think they're so slick I think I'm gonna be sick GET A GRIP! Don't respect my elder Why would I respect the offender? POWER TRIP! You think you know it all You don't think I recall GONNA FLIP! Cuz you say I'm crazy You say my memory is hazy You will reap what you have sown!

I'm out of cash But I wanna thrash I need my fix I need my 666 Don't wanna work Just wanna go berserk Oh shit, a riff so cunning We've got some thrash incoming We need this rage to start So we can rip this pit apart We gotta keep it real To the thrash gods we will kneel It's gunna be a keggar Get it in you like a dagger Flippy cup and beer pong What could even go wrong? AUTOMATIC! Coming at me like a bolt Pour this beer down my throat THRASH MACHINE! Not gunna keep it clean Gunna drink until I'm green! AUTOMATIC! Like a psychedelic trip We're gunna sink this ship THRASH MACHINE! It's giving us the spins This is where it begins Let's go! Brought the whisky and gin Circle pit for the win I'm gunna do a keg stand Oh yeah, I'm ruler of Thrashland Don't want this night to end I'm gunna be on the mend Hanging out on the rooftop Keep it rolling, please don't stop AUTOMATIC! Coming at me like a bolt Pour this beer down my throat THRASH MACHINE! Not gunna keep it clean Gunna drink until I'm green! AUTOMATIC! Like a psychedelic trip We're gunna sink this ship THRASH MACHINE! It's giving us the spins This is where it begins
3.	Prophet of Deceit 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Burn what remains Not gonna fuel your fire You're harming yourself Don't you ever tire? I rise from the ashes I'm gaining ground Destroying your worth Anger has you bound I left that hellbent town Coming back to a wasteland Not gonna drag you down But I know who I am The smell of gas in the air Not even playing fair Want me to pick a side? There won't be any compromise! You'll never survive What you can't keep alive Your kinships never last Move on, you better do it fast Everything's not what it seems It's the fire you set While I reach my dreams You'll look back in regret I'll take those red flags And use them as a sign I don't wanna hear you brag Cuz I know you crossed a line I left that hellbent town Coming back to a wasteland Not gonna drag you down But I know who I am The smell of gas in the air Not even playing fair Want me to pick a side? There won't be any compromise!
4.	Psychosomatic 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Aggravated, in distress I can't stay above water They send me to the slaughter When I walked in They asked me how I've been I said I could be better Can you help me unfetter? Oh I see it's all in my head? It's my mind that has me misled? Looking them straight in the eye Do you think I tell a lie? PSYCHO! Aches and pains no one can explain Sending signals from my brain SOMATIC! Unhinged, paranoid, and wary Disconnect from the ordinary PSYCHO! Aches and pains no one can explain Sending signals from my brain SOMATIC! Unhinged, paranoid, and wary Disconnect from the ordinary PSYCHO! Feeling nothing but drained They think my illness is feigned SOMATIC! Unheard, unwanted, and trapped Energy is completely strapped

Stuck in an endless loop Jumping through every hoop Living the same life over Staying within the border One day, she coloured outside the lines No longer trapped within the vines Something new transpired This next life has expired Running from the devil's hour When the time comes, we will cower Never ending like time itself Repeating it all by myself This is our reality Eventually we reach fatality Then we are reborn To be happy and to mourn THE SERPENT'S CYCLE! SHOT! With the blast of a rifle She will restart the cycle Babe in her mothers arms Born again, she feels the calm DISTRAUGHT! Wake up the same hour She feels an unknown power She sees the in between The unknown and unseen Here one minute, gone the next Our lives are just a hex Glimpses of lives that lived Only to be revived Every change causes ripples Insanity always triples Creating a new dimension Too much for comprehension Running from the devil's hour When the time comes we will cower Never ending, like time itself Repeating it all by myself This is our reality Eventually we reach fatality Then we are reborn To be happy and to mourn THE SERPENT'S CYCLE!
6.	Trapped in Time 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Flash to the coming times You're all alone You should have seen the signs Fate has been shown Back to the before Searching for clues To open the door For the best life to chose You do it just for your sake Taking a misstep You can't get a break You don't know how to prep Soul is consumed by greed Don't care about others pains A hunger you can't feed Pride runs in your veins Trapped in time Over and over Trying to relive your prime Trapped in time Reliving your sorrow You cannot escape your crime Time will consume you There is no perfect life You're able to renew But all in all, there's strife It's a never ending game There are no winners It will drive you insane We are all but sinners Trapped in time Over and over Trying to relive your prime Trapped in time Reliving your sorrow You cannot escape your crime
7.	Spirit Bandit 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Uncontrollable lust, domination is a must Doing what they want I see within, what drives them to sin You've got no power, no voice Self deception, a messed up perception Definition of fake Not fulfilled, danger just to be thrilled Destroying all around them Give them recognition They need an ignition To set you alight Need full control Send you to a black hole Sense of self has collapsed Question sanity, because of their vanity The gas has been lit Can't be alone, the lies they've sown Will keep you up at night Worth comes from control Stealing soul after soul Broken minds for trophies You only hold the keys A false narrative, therapy's imperative Staying in denial Didn't call them names, no need to play games They have no power over me Self importance, nothing but a serpent Luring you in Lacking empathy, but there is a chemistry Making you dependent Don't have any shame, fantasies of fame Not doing the work Always testing, pretend do be jesting Others are too weak They are special and you're just a vessel Incomplete without them Have a problem, always gotta condemn It's always just you Repressing insecurities, hiding your impurities Outward they have no flaws No boundaries, with profound unease They push everyone away Inflate accomplishments, just for the compliments You're never satisfied Starved ego, just like a mosquito Sucking the life blood out of me Worth comes from control Stealing soul after soul Broken minds for trophies You only hold the keys Once you drain your victims You always contradict them Cry innocent but you planned it Just another spirit bandit
8.	Eye for an Eye 04:47	lyrics	buy track
A flicker of a person A victim of arson Sudden movement of a chair But nothing's there Tied to the place of death Where they took their last breath Case unresolved Who could have been involved? Searching for their captor Wanting the next chapter Bones lay under concrete Their case is incomplete Denied eternal sleep The price was oh so steep For an others big mistake Forgive me for this life I take RUN! To escape from hell You will bolt upright REVENGE! Of the Poltergeist Searching for the one STUN! Shadow of a gun A moment in time AVENGE! To seek their justice They must pay for their crime They sleep in their bed A noise ringing in their head Closing their eyes tight Feeling nothing but fright Could it be at last? Was it them I just passed? Finally, I’ll stop their evil deeds Not going to stop until they bleed And they bled
9.	Binge & Surge 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Electrifying nights, and the mood's just right A drunken rage will go down tonight Gonna rip this place up, like it's what we're born to do Grab your drink and give it an unscrew We'll shred and tear apart this neighbourhood Shots 'til we're blacked out, am I understood? Maniacs of alcohol, we'll drink until we fall High voltage currents inebriate us all! BINGE! We will drink away the night Slam your beer and grab one more until it's daylight SURGE! Electric power through your veins Knocking back bottles until nothing else remains BINGE & SURGE! Where's the keg? I need poison for my soul We're gonna find a party and smash the punch bowl We'll never rest, we're gunna set the world ablaze Check your pulse is fully charged, and no it's not a phase BINGE! We will drink away the night Slam your beer and grab one more until it's daylight SURGE! Electric power through your veins Knocking back bottles until nothing else remains BINGE & SURGE!
10.	Deathbringer 05:31	lyrics	buy track
The power to create existence Destroy all resistance Never harming the innocent Only those who are pestilent Consort to destruction Bring order to dysfunction Rebirth from desolation Forming a new generation Manifested from a third eye Raining fire from the sky Awaiting a strong sacrifice Only human blood with suffice Moral and immoral Impartial and immortal She transcends it all To hear her children's call She who is death Will take away your breath Slaying you for your crime Devouring all of time She who is death Reaches every depth Expression of nature Erasing all who betray her Once she killed a demon She lost all reason Consuming his vital fluid Becoming less than lucid Emotions turned capricious Merciless & vicious Eradication becomes chaotic Her desolation is iconic She who is death Will take away your breath Slaying you for your crime Devouring all of time She who is death Reaches every depth Expression of nature Erasing all who betray her She who is death! Bringer of death! She who is death!
11.	Crazy on You (Heart Cover) 05:03	lyrics	buy track
If we still have time, we might still get by Every time I think about it, I wanna cry With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin' No way to breathe easy, no time to be young But I tell myself that I was doin' all right There's nothin' left to do at night But go crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind The whisper that calls after you in the night And kisses your ear in the early moonlight And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine My love, the pleasure's mine Let me go crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh Wild man's world is cryin' in pain What you gonna do when everybody's insane? So afraid of one who's so afraid of you What you gonna do? Ooh, crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you I was a willow last night in a dream I bent down over a clear running stream Sang you the song that I heard up above And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love Crazy Yeah, crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh Crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah Crazy on you Crazy on you Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

Ooooh, this band makes thrash fun (and remind me of their label mates Gravesend in that fashion). I hear a lot of (newer) Kreator influences, which is to my likings! dcdirkzwager

Power metal disguised as melodeath. Relentless pace, face-melting riffs, and the catchiest melodies I've heard in a long time. If you miss the sound of Children of Bodom or TBDM this one is a no brainer zOdD

I just found these guys and after celebrating Fearsick I immediately came here and had to buy this as well. It might eben be better than Fearsick but who cares. Both are phenomenally good. Old schoolish perfection with powerful modern production. Every song is a fucking killer. mourner
