Rhokeheart Some brutally technical metal. At times it really reminds me of the red chord. A superb effort. Favorite track: Stopping a God MidSentence.

Zackary Lawrence This is hands down one of my favorite tech death albums. It's groovy, it's complicated, you'll say "What the fuck did they just do?". Like you're watching a bondage video. This is a must for tech lovers. Favorite track: Where are We, In a Cube?.

1. A STONE FACE OF PIETY The true nature of evil I can feel it coming, it looms on the horizon Praise the king of deception, guiding us into oblivion Promoting selfish ideals, the human race divided In an attempt to gain my trust so I can later be exploited No one sees eye to eye No one knows what to believe Primitive ideologies surrounding me I refuse to see a reality of pure ignorance And excuse me of my lack of tolerance Choas - Complete Hand carved idols adorned by all, unable to stare fear in the face Taken by the hand of a man with a murderous obsession Irreversible implications of an uprising Mass depopulation is the latest trend of humanity I detest what you stand for Educating misinformation Subliminal confusion I see straight through your duplicity Keep asking the same questions Until you get a straight answer Do not believe every influence Don’t hold yourself back Cast aside expectations Our intellect will steadily dissolve Into nothing if we stay on this course A feeble minded population Consistently question and blame themselves It will never be the same

2. ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME How long does it take to determine a purpose? And discover a sense of meaning To such a meaningless existence Ultimately powerless in a scheme of insanity How far must we search to locate the architects? That caused us to fall Consider this as the final chance Take back our lives, rebuild our pride Please understand we are not alone In the quest for greater meaning Expose inner workings of intellect Regain logic reason The machine continues on its path to self-destruction Humanity is doomed unless the war machine is stopped Impending failure Absolute control is not an option Break free from the demonic grasp Of an everlasting kingdom of elite We don’t know They don’t need us to survive Without us the plan comes alive Denied one last time Exploiting one simple decision There must be more to this picture Paint our desires, interpret the future Escape the invisible hand dragging us further from success

3. THE WOODHOUSE SAKATI SYNDROME Righteous, you uphold appeal but face a brick wall Gritted teeth, they glisten with spit Emanate ethic, will bring on war War, I've seen this, I've seen this before The signs are written in neon florescence This is our chance to conquer and prevail We will, we will not be victims I want you to understand, behold the genome Potential, limitless We will not stand for this when we can take our own future So the human evolves We wanted this to be a shape of things to come Not a revelation of science fiction Instead the human gene, encoded to recreate We will live to defy all written scripture Increasing knowledge, fuelling our desire To settle the debate Ruined, no longer stand in denial Wanted this, needed this Time to bare all and raise the stakes Clenched fists pound on their walls We defy god as science creates

4. GHOST OF MIRACH It all began from nothing Dense heat and rapid expansion Like a balloon inflates Infinite energy Perplexes the psyche Illustrating the night sky I sit back and ponder the mysterious existence Of forms beyond perception Beyond all comprehension Powerful entities capable of complete destruction Beyond all comprehension Darkness consumes Absorbing life into unfathomable depths In a state of mind, warped by disguise Control is implemented, step by step Turning the gears, crushing bones This must be reprogrammed No compromise Perfect demise Transcending concepts of freethinking The only condition is the system In a place lost by our senses Lies dormant the ghost Past convictions forgotten Future prosperity is obtained It all began from nothing Dense heat and rapid expansion Like a balloon inflates Infinite energy Perplexes the psyche Illustrating the night sky

5. PINEAPPLE JUICE AND THE TOUGH STUFFED OLIVE Extraction, a need for information Cold stare, precludes the devastation Pre-planned, meticulous Knowledge base, a knowledge base Silver tongued, latch on the lies The human condition is what I despise Crystal rim brought up to crimson From within I release a smile A lie that defiles, a lie that defiles Salt rubbing on a swollen lip Cracked and broken A crimson crevice set into my jaw From a fight I hadn't seen coming Memories flash a hidden agenda Punctuated, I reflect to the fist And face in the floor My gaze cuts to the truth, for it is written Forced within walls, of self-incarceration Will I let it be, free as I give into the feelings I The feelings I The glass now broken in my palm Cutting to the bone Have I lost all control? Not even the Xanax now ground into powder I bite can help me get a grip on this world Now we stare across a canyon made of liquor and lies Biding over time until we die

7. ARECIBO This rock was never enough To satisfy the craving For something unexpected I want more Someone to respond to these broadcasts Searching for answers from a place far from home Demonstrating human progress I wonder if we will find anything before we cease to exist And not a single trace Nothing at all Fade into the history of time Paradoxical equilibrium We stand alone I will not endure this We are losing the connection with our natural world The pressure is building, I hope you choose the right path Enhancing future technology just to leave it behind Unpredictable encounters are about to take place Unexpected invasion Take me on a journey to explore See the symmetry of space and time The darkest of energy devoured An obscure transformation Brand new exploration avoid cultural stagnation Dive into a brand new realm Discovery of travel between multiple dimensions Dynamic conscious evolution Unbelievable intensity overwhelming the fragile people Scenes of terror amidst the streets of despair Cataclysmic changes
8.
8. WHERE ARE WE, IN A CUBE? A shard of light, cuts in, rationalise the situation Proximal locations, induce anxiety inside Water wells in Schlemm's canal, flooding the senses Distort in saline silhouette, silken steel, confines, construct Counterbalance to perspective Mathematical mind melt, a prime configuration Each equation plots our destination Equal to the factor of human implementation Cattle strapped to racks, drained of all they can extract Process, process, corporate elation, process, process Four walls and a room of hate, predatory senses take over, dictate Ingest, ingest, your own degradation
9.
9. THE WORM ENGINE Undesirable thoughts dictate the decline of man Hallucinating I can feel it overtake A desperate cry from a desolate place Humiliation, there's no turning back If there was a way to escape Would you take it? Or persist and let it consume Every mental visual is the work of your own god Mind control mechanism of a fatal perpetual brain damage Adrenaline pumps through my veins This fear creates a monster within And I keep forgetting what it’s all about Inner thoughts weave patterns of webs That tangle and restrict composure It must be time, to seek for approval, from your higher self For each sequence is predetermined, until the game is over And when it all ceases in an instant, nothing really matters Lifesaving apparatus Providing motive force Of an insatiable thirst

10. ULTIMATEWHIRRINGENDMACHINE Mechanise The deepest sleep inducing an involuntary idea Not a single word can describe this feeling A sensation of intuition Answers to every question Subconscious encrypted subconscious An aura emitting device is carefully installed into the invention Catastrophic consequence How can we save ourselves? They stand in awe as it lights up Reveals what we knew all along This machine will eliminate life How can you save yourself? An automated anomaly of extreme power Reaching a frequency of considerable volatility A cascade of events Overcoming a space you can’t escape Open the gateway to a higher place Set me free from the darkness Voices heard from afar The end is nigh, yet there is no need to stress In a darkened society there is always light Take hold of what you have and never let go There is always light Subconscious encrypted Subconscious awaken
