lyrics

A heart attack portraying shock and awe
lies through crooked teeth to harvest walking statistics
What is life again? an apathetic existence...
disgusting monetary propriety
This facade makes me sick
spawned into the game corrupted beyond redemption
marketable mass waiting at the nearest trough

servitors unto the vile
frenzied at the smell of blood

Tension upon chains, gnashing teeth in the dark
the distant sound of buzzing flies
like an emaciated carnivore
snapping at brittle bones
nesting in the blood soaked ribbons of
brand name clothes

Birthed by sedition, a writhing purulent mass

it's not Karma and
certainly-not your pathetic vision of "god"
this is chaos, my sanctum of peace
a nightmare to the weak

Blinding distraction, we are slipping away
breeding into a mechanical society
The apex of aberration
unblinking pervasive machinations
This is a collection
mandatory submission
splinter the door off it's frame
and bury the hatchet

This is giving in, blade in hand
...i feel this ... i need this...
burying my hands into a gaping chest cavity
overtake and violate
removing organs one by one

I've fallen on my knees, fatigued
surrounded by pieces of lifeless flesh
my selfish form of submission
unfortunately, it could not be helped.

残念！

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 7 fans who also own “Pound Of Flesh”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

Emptiness fills The Void
by Stortregn

supported by 6 fans who also own “Pound Of Flesh”

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

Mortal

Distilled death metal with catchy riffs and well written songs. It's not reinventing the wheel or anything but it's osdm, if that's what you want look elsewhere. grahamy

Awakening Inception [2018]
by Æpoch

supported by 5 fans who also own “Pound Of Flesh”

It's honestly hard to believe that such an awesome band hails from my own home city. I don't doubt that they will someday put Cambridge on the metal map with such epic prog/tech death like this. I dare say that Aepoch are the spiritual successors of Death, as they will certainly scratch that itch if you're looking for some proggy, technical, and melodic death metal that's in a league of its very own!
