Disfiguring true justice
This farce has gathered once again
Hooded men with masks and guns
Order of the blind preserved
They took our teeth away
They ripped out our nails
They're in for the same service
Eye for an eye
Evidence is clear
Our lies are truth
Wictim is the guilty
Prosecution rests
Just turn your back
Conjecture is clear
Let blindness grow
Our version the truth
Feel the whip crack
Victim shall be slain
Let the red flow
Persecution rests
My dear brothers
Don't we deserve to see
Beyond the golden veil
The smoke and mirrors abound
360 degrees
of accepted blindness
The runaway politics
of sociopathic greed
Just turn your back
Conjecture is clear
They own our culture
They own our minds
They are so white-washed
We are so brainwashed
Just turn again
Conjecture is clear
Open your eyes
Our version the truth
Let the whip crack
Victim shall be slain
Now they'll be next
Persecution rests

Artifact

I was born wrong
with the wrong chromosome
There's too many
of use here already
Raised carelessly
to give less care
Cultivated for
aggression culture
I'm the source for
all things oppressing
I'm the mindset for
all things unequal
I'm a tool and a
weapon of war
Failure that is
counted on
Vehicle for
physical dominance
I run on
power and sex
I'm an artifact left in the past
An outdone relic that shall not last
What I have to give is no longer needed
To my fate I'm simply conceded
My future does not exist
I'm soon to be extinct
No longer have I, but one choice
Die with a whimper or die in flames
Time has faded
obsession of conquest
My skills and genes
are all useless
I can't kill
can't hunt, can't breed
Can't find my
reason for being
My role now
undefined
I belong
in an obituary
I'm an artifact left in the past

To gild refined gold
I paint the world anew
You can't deny me
I hear the word of snakes
What I offer you
This drink you can't refuse
My poison in your veins
Asphyxiates your brain
Form divine
The heaven here awaits
Hear my lies
For you it's just the gates
Sex is god
The hell lies within
I do gorge
Retake the fruits of sin
Your body and your flesh
It is mine to command
Stab yourself in the face
Bleed out your ugliness
Your freedom now deformed
My lies are now complete
Total control for my god
I drink my wine from your skull
Go
down
for
me
Form divine
The heaven here awaits

Nameless

It feels like forever
has come to pass
Time is now meaningless
My search eternal
to unbreak my curse
Who am I
I travel these planes
only with my shadow
Company I don't keep
for I bring pain
My sin is mine to bear
My bones mine to drag
Why have I woken here?
I am nameless
Her hair wound on my arm
What was her name?
The sign of torment
I bear unknowing
My past is an endless stream
of blank dead stares
Many fools have loved me
Even more hated me
None more than the witch
my lovely pride, my curse
My fate has been foretold
Yet I know not hope
Why have I woken here?
I am nameless
The circle now complete
My place in hell reclaimed
Forever bound to unlife
Her ghost whispers my name

Asketia Rovaniemi, Finland
Gutturally visceral Death Metal from the desolate wastelands of the Arctic. Haunting songs paint a bleak picture of the apocalypse we call modern life. The winter is coming...

The consistently excellent NYC death-doom dealers dole out another heaping helping of demonic growls and nasty riffs.

Nel Nome Del Codice
by KEYGEN CHURCH
The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church.
