Chris Wightman Favorite album of 2016. With a touch of THALL, brutal heavy grooves, catchy vocals and hooks, punishing percussion and a perfect mix, this album is my GO TO album 6 days a week at the GYM. Just love all the low end and fat riffs, best album from this band and one of the best albums of 2016. Favorite track: Vengeance.

Death will fall upon us all and wash away every divine covenant you’ve ever made So tighten the noose around the throats of those who lead astray with the virus of faith Tighten the noose around the throats of those who spread his name as a seed of hate You’ve crossed the line, you won’t heed this final cry Dark sermons spill from jaws with tainted tongues Both hands raised to the sky Preaching repugnance for the fallen ones How can you go on pretending this world is yours? Your god is dead and gone Implanting fear into the minds of the young The world will never forget the evil you’ve done Death will fall upon us all and wash away every divine covenant you’ve ever made So tighten the noose around the throats of those who lead astray with the virus of faith No kings of men No martyrs left Deluded by faith as ignorance infests Cancer of the ages Made a slave of yourself for the words of someone else The false saviour thrown to the depths Distort the truth with every word you spit A poison to societies roots The true abomination is the one you’ve built your faith upon Desperate to control our lives You vile fucking scum Burn the book of lies Let it be undone A vile sickness that has plagued the earth for far too long We are the children of sin and we come bearing tides of death To those who blindly follow lies until their last breath How can you go on pretending this world is yours? Your god is dead and gone Implanting fear into the minds of the young The world will never forget the evil you’ve done Ruin the plague of faith and reveal it for what it’s really worth A scapegoat for their insecurities A perverted icon of their uncertainties The flaws of man made flesh in the form of a lie Imprisoning minds and veiling the truth from our eyes No kings of men No martyrs left Deluded by faith as ignorance infests Cancer of the ages Made a slave of yourself for the words of someone else The false saviour thrown to the depths And when the truth is exposed, when the safety net falls Who will you follow, where will you stand? If this is really the world your god had planned We welcome the flames of the end No kinds of men No martyrs left This sickness shall be put to rest If this is really the world your god had planned We welcome the flames of the end No kinds of men No martyrs left This sickness shall be put to rest

Vengeance 04:14
Forced into submission by the ones we call our own Sacrifice as a service to the voice behind the throne Terror used as a tool to control the weak and silence insurgency Enforced by the powers that be to ensure we bow to their supremacy Total condemnation of the entire population Every demand is a threat to our lives Passing laws based on a higher validation Masses ignored and left to die Forced into submission without question of their ultimate rule Surveillance recording everything you say and do But we will not be silenced by treason, a world dominated by fear And our voices will be heard for hundreds of years Shackles exchanged for debt We have always been slaves in the eyes of the government It’s a simple fact that they slaughter their own, disguised as a terrorist act In order to expose our fear and gain our trust We will never again accept the unjust We are the legions of the end Let all who follow see the truth: You are a slave to a mortal fucking man We the people gave these cowards their power, and we can fucking take it back Dissolution of the mouth of the law The day will finally come When the corpses of the treacherous ones shall be hung As a message to all who oppose the right to liberty When the corpses of the treacherous ones shall be hung As a message to all who stand with the enemy This is not revenge against a police state This is fucking vengeance for all the lives you take We shall create a godless, unopposed clean slate

Dissimulate 04:03
A world in shroud, obscured by sovereignty They condition society to blindly feed from hands filled with deception and disease Taught to shun all who stand against tyranny Will this pathetic race ever be free? Constant inflation has the working class imprisoned by debt Behind the veil of justice lies a crooked government that monitors every single move you make How can you honestly say the life you live is not that of a slave? And still their agenda stays the same, stained in blood throughout history Rise up and break the bonds of your subjugation Why can't you see what is right in front of you? When was the last time you even thought to question the true motives of your desolated nation? We have the power to set ourselves free An infinite process of greed and consumerism No matter the maker, the agenda will always remain the same Throughout the pages of time manipulation and deceit has forged the fate of mankind Only when we decide to seek the truth for ourselves can we pave the path to a free future With the winds of revolt out our backs We'll watch you choke to death on that shit you call pride Fascist laws enforced by the police Hide the truth from the majority Disguise a world war with the illusion of peace Why should we trust authority? How many innocent will die by your hands? We will not stop until we silence their suffering This corruption will meet its end and the world will never bleed again An infinite process of greed and consumerism No matter the maker, the agenda will always remain the same Throughout the pages of time manipulation and deceit has forged the fate of mankind Why can't you see what's right in front you? Not a single word they've said to you has ever been true

Blind obedience bred for systematic slavery Innocent lives thrown to the depths I have watched as the tyrants exact their vengeance I saw the true price of power stain the ground red For a few to live forever, many must die The rise of the elite born of those who bled Billions of men, women, and children are dead All for the profit of a few rich men Blood for oil and death for land Human life comes second to supply and demand The gears of war grind on and on A machine turning bodies into dollars The trail of dead marks the rise of the ascendancy Our entire species nothing more than a commodity I will not allow humanity to die Forsaken by all, believing a lie False kingdoms ever rise and fall The world in ruin, the final stand Bear witness to the earth made hell Defiled by the greed of man How did this happen? How did it come to this? Are we beyond saving? Is this how everything ends? All existence lost The ground shakes as the earth is torn apart The air we breathe turns to flames and dust Skies blacken as the ash blots out the sun All human life ended as one The last failed power play of a world gone astray The final testament of this desolate order The last chapter of the New World Slaughter The last testament to this desolate order And it’s lust for fucking power, bleeding the world dry Revulsion spreads, poisoning the earth The end is fucking nigh False kingdoms ever rise and fall The world in ruin, the final stand Bear witness to the earth made hell Defiled by the greed of man How did this happen? How did it come to this? Are we beyond saving? Is this how everything ends? All existence lost False kingdoms ever rise and fall The world in ruin, the final stand Bear witness to the earth made hell Defiled by the greed of man The last failed power play of a world gone astray The final testament of this desolate order The last chapter of the New World Slaughter

Nihility 04:27
We waste our lives fearing the divine Eternal rest will take us away In the end we will all die the same Expecting salvation in life beyond Destroying this world for a prize foretold There is nothing in the heavens above that can save you from the hell below Malevolence, ammunition and fire shall cleanse this tainted earth Pray to your god for your children’s lives Their fate was sealed when you believed the lies Kill yourself for a false idol Godless we remain Nothing awaits you, there is no afterlife Nothing awaits you, no fucking paradise Your existence is forgotten in the absence of light Nothing awaits you, in the end we just fucking die God of nothing, summon thy children to the gates Never to fucking open You sold your soul for the sake of a lie Spreading like sickness from every corner of the globe Our cities will become a burial ground A forgotten wasteland There is no heaven beyond Only the bleak darkness of eternity As you return to the earth to be fed on by the worms Unholy Cowards Bring forth a selfish cleansing In the name of a non-existent father It is all for nothing Blind faith destroys the mind Kill yourself for a false idol Godless we remain As you commit a worthless suicide Pray for destruction as realise that no god will ever answer your cries Killing others to save yourself, return to the earth Your flesh burns as your mind slips away All that you once were is gone for eternity Kill yourself for a false idol Godless we remain Nothing awaits you, there is no afterlife Nothing awaits you, no fucking paradise Your existence is forgotten in the absence of light Nothing awaits you, we just fucking die

What was done to us created us Every action will create a reaction We are called to be architects of our future, not the victims of theirs Until we become conscious we will never rebel He who controls the past controls the future He who controls the present controls the past The two faces of change: Creator and Destroyer Remorseless destruction of old to forge creation of the new It is not god who kills the children Not fate that butchers the innocent Not destiny that feeds us to the dogs Its them. Only them. We are brought upon the earth Born to serve the false masters placed before us Consuming false reality Bound to this hallucination But we will not be silenced.

A dark disease of injustice rules over all And as our rights slowly waste away We avoid the truth like it's the fucking plague This malevolent sickness engulfs the earth Rotting out all hope for a better world Indoctrination reaching as far as the Eye can see An infected wretched state of humanity Destroy the powers that be We'll be the change that the world needs to see Destroy the powers that be Fuck this world of misery Slaves of a dark empire Ruling from the shadows We will be the light to expose the unjust and the corrupt And as the violence grows, no longer imposed, we will design a world of our own We will design a world of our own We will design a world of our fucking own Destroy the powers that be We'll be the change that the world needs to see Destroy the powers that be Fuck this world of misery Arise before a new era born of malice The ruins of an ancient world doomed to destruction A new era born of malice Doomed to destruction We will burn the black throne No longer afraid to reject what we know to be wrong We were nothing in the eyes of those once powerful, disposable No longer afraid No longer a slave No longer influenced by the will of the wicked Now they cower in fear at the sight of the flames Cower in fear at the sight of the flames we lit to flood the sky

Awaken 04:55
We as a species have failed ourselves, destroying the one thing that keeps us alive We are human filth, this world will rot beneath our feet Awaken before me Open your eyes to all that you have done Human fucking filth Consuming this world without a trace of remorse The arrogance of man shall devour the earth Awaken before this monstrosity Lifeless abomination Mindlessly marching towards our graves No one can be saved We have become our own weapon of annihilation Human fucking filth We don’t deserve to be here Destroying everything in our path Self-destructive parasites Feeding off the core This world will rot beneath our feet Open your eyes to all that you have done Human fucking filth Consuming this world without a trace of remorse The arrogance of man shall devour the earth Human fucking filth We don’t deserve to be here Cry for your families Pray as all you love is erased right before your eyes Erased forever Awaken before me Destroying everything, poisoning the world Corruption lies hand in hand with the power you hold The sky cracks open, the sea swallows the land We have brought about the damnation of man As the sins of the fathers rest upon the shoulders of the damned A generation left to fail in a broken world Humanity has met it’s end Destroying everything in our path Self-destructive parasites Fuck what you stand for Fuck everything you’ve done Fuck what you stand for Fuck what we’ve become This world will rot beneath our feet Rot beneath our feet Fuck what you stand for Fuck everything you’ve done Fuck what we’ve become

Seditionist 04:37
Bow All hail All praise All hail the fathers of deception Misleading the masses All praise the product of destruction Fall to your knees Reject the doctrine that is force fed to you Arise against these serpent tongues False prophets of profit will enslave the world God will be banished And when your faith fails you, who will you turn to in your time of need? Spreading a plague of fear to coerce obedience Puppeteering politicians to gain power in your wars The curse of religion has consumed the earth A twisted idol of hope shrouding himself in white smoke Defiling children and suppressing all who ever spoke against the so called king of kings Behold the Lord of Hypocrisy I want you to realise that the heavens are empty and how misinformed you really are I want you to question everything All that which you misplaced your faith in When will you open your fucking mind Instead of living so blinded by lies All hail the fathers of deception Misleading the masses All praise the product of destruction Fall to your knees When will you to realise that the heavens are empty and how misinformed you really are I want you to question everything All that which you misplaced your faith in I want you to deny your insignificance They are nothing against us Forget what they have you believe Stop following like fucking sheep Wake up, they have you enslaved No taste of freedom before the grave When will you rise up, what will it take? Their power exists only as long as we let it They are no threat to our advance Deny your insignificance

This is the age of the minimum wage slave At the core of an invisible war This is the age of the minimum wage slave Bound forever more The alpha, the omega Inherit the end Our free will is no more than a lie Erase the false flag None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who believe they are free Oblivious to the never-ending cycle Engineered and executed to keep us blindly under their control This is the age of the minimum wage slave At the core of an invisible war This is the age of the minimum wage slave We are bound forever more The most socially paralysing construct we have ever known Endless consumption of shit we don’t need to own Possessed by our possessions An endless cycle of greed Created by the interest that can never be repaid Debt is the weapon used to conquer and enslave As our self proclaimed leaders immorally obey The alpha, the omega Inherit the end Our free will is no more than a lie Vincere et Servitutem To the dollar we are all bound By the monetary system To the lifeblood of corporatocracy Sickly creations powering an empire A domino effect that only benefits the elite at the top of pyramid Engulfing the life from all below Treachery thrives in the absence of truth Autonomy is beyond all hope A fractured existence based upon a lie This is the age of the minimum wage slave At the core of an invisible war This is the age of the minimum wage slave We are bound forever more Slaves to the economic system Your life’s controlled by a piece of fucking paper Behind the throne of the king stand the corporate gods of corruption

Hollow Mask 05:25
Everything that has a beginning has an end They seek power for the sake of power itself No interest in the good of the people Unlike the evil of old, they are aware of their intentions Power is not the means, it is the end I know you’re out there, hiding in the shadows I can feel you watching, I know that you’re afraid You fear us, you fear change Know that your tyranny has numbered fucking days Waging war in the name of peace Imprisoned, slavery is freedom from fear Preaching ignorance as strength Their rule was never seized as a temporary means To forge a better world and relinquish it back to the people We are led like lambs to the slaughter Power is not the means, it is the end I can’t see the future I don’t know how this will end But its clear how it will begin I’m going to show these people what you didn’t want them to see A world without rules, a world set free Expose the lies to humanity I know you’re out there, hiding in the shadows I can feel you watching, I know that you’re afraid You fear us, you fear change Know that your tyranny has numbered fucking days This revolt is more than flesh and blood It is an idea that can not be fucking killed When will you understand? There is only light and dark and the dark must be swept away Even against the end of the world I will not compromise my beliefs
