Lyrics:
Fevered insanity
Insatiable fervor
Ferocious intents
Inebriated faculties
You
must
break
me
Raging desire
Destructive revelry
Ravaging dominance
Dreadful realization
Wasteful effort
Effortless waste
Regretful hate
Hateful regret
I
must
break
you
Now we see who gets
to stand upright
We won't quit until
our bones are broken
Predestined machine
Motionless person
Penetrating motion
Malignant purpose
Aggression unbound
Unified affliction
Assault unhalted
United answer
Give in to the rage
Give in to the power
Higher than all
the gods combined
Hear the hate
rush out
Feel the blood
fly out
Now we see who gets
to stay alive
I won't quit until
my bones are broken

No Solace in Slumber

Wake
Wake
Wake
Awake
Clawing at the darkness
Struggling to find the wavering light
Dragging my demons behind
Eyes open, but the dreams remain
In every shadow the same
I cannot escape the horror
I find no solace in slumber
Crawling from the darkness out
I took their eyes, their ears, their hearts
I can still taste their blood on my tongue
I took their lives, children, their futures as waves and
waves of blood washed ashore
Sunrise but the past screams my name
I close my eyes, but the story plays again
I dream of escaping what's inside
But the nightmares follow me
I took their eyes
There is but one way out
And it's blood
I took their eyes
There is but one way out

Lyrics:
Cut it all away
One piece at a time
Give it all away
Your feelings and your body
Leave nothing but the bone
Leave nothing of yourself
Leave nothing for the worms
Leave nothing for yourself
Wake
for once think of yourself
Hate
is all I create
My only kindness here
is to crush all hope
This is from me to you
my sincerest gift
As the rain falls
from your eyes
and I pretend
I'm not broken
Cut your stitches open
Let yourself bleed again
Is this what you want?
Is it just the only thing
Keeping your shell warm
Lighting fire in your heart
Does cold let you breath
As anguish calms your mind
Stay here
Be still
I should
Be gone
My only kindness here
Is to crush all hope

Void

You cannot cage me, you cannot cuff me
You cannot hold me, I will be free
Stage lights and scrutiny, every eye in the world upon me
I slip the cuffs, undo the knots, I make my escape
It's all a trick, it's just a show
You will see what you want to see
My hands are tied behind my back
My breathing slows as the world turns black
There is nothing but the void
No gods, no ghosts, no devils, no demons
There is nothing but the void
Mother lowered into cold earth, this is not a performance
From the endless void beyond, there is no escape
It's all a trick, it's just a show
You will see what you want to see
There is nothing but the void
MOTHER! Where are you?
MOTHER! Are you there?
There is nothing but the void

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...

Pedon Synty
by Kuoleman Galleria
Tempering death metal riffs with goth rock melodies, the Finnish outfit deliver a commendable, unsuspectingly catchy slab of fury.
