Instrumental
2.	Chaospiracy 03:25	lyrics	buy track
[Verse] Limited by rational understanding Nature exists without being judged Surrounded by a dominant chance Unpredictable events are born without hindrance A possible vacuum fluctuation Knowledge without physical evidence In the deepest chaos Lurks a kind of mysterious order [Pre chorus] Just as inertia opposes change Something is opposed to the revelation of the cosmic understanding [Chorus] Dark matter The untold prevails Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales [Verse] In the endless search for the knowing Theories try to unify all knowledge But without solid arguments ongoing These aren't more than fanciful ideals [Pre chorus] The discovery of truth could be a symptom of madness Or is madness a symptom of the discovery of truth? [Chorus] Dark matter The untold prevails Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales [Lead 1] Dark matter, dark energy The untold prevails Dark matter, dark energy Invisible spectre of indecipherable scales [Lead 2] [Verse] Strong evidence of nonexistence Calculations to determine what’s unobservable Reality beyond perception Wisdom beyond all reason Chaos
3.	Vector's volition 03:38	lyrics	buy track
[Verse] As forces we are There’s a resultant implied Our intentions as directions In a collision of human interactions In R3 vector field, infinite are the possibilities In similar directions, they work together In opposite directions, leads to a conflict The resultant is determined by the strongest force [Chorus] A resultant strength Symmetry of dynamics The vector addition by individuals involved A resultant strength Symmetry of dynamics Sociology are now Euclidean lines [Verse] In each single mind Internal strengths pull outwards: Reasons as a trajectory to travel In a collision between ideas and acts In R2 vector field, an infinite within another In similar directions our goals and motivations In opposite directions our personal conflicts Our actions guided by emotions or determinations There is no end for these synergies The equilibrium process goes indefinitely Zero, is the constant sumatory Inertia, an essential element The resultant is determined by the strongest force [Chorus] A resultant strength Symmetry of dynamics The vector addition by individuals involved A resultant strength Symmetry of dynamics Sociology are now Euclidean lines
4.	Kingdom of phantoms 03:37	lyrics	buy track
[Verse] The echo of the crows squawking your name With the sweetest notes of forgetfulness Seeing how you coexist with nothingness Leading nowhere but circling the drain [Bridge] Cornered, misery's provider mumbling with the spiders weaving the lowest of griefs Pierced by a pitiful relief [Verse] The lament of those who wander cracking their wrists untill it's over [Chorus] Enter the kingdom of phantoms Where the waste of the world prevails Enter the kingdom of phantoms An oblivion for the mentally decimated [Verso] Your last gasp dissolves in the dark Disrupted, insignificant, you rest in fetid rags Death comes and laughs behind your back Peace never to come, your soul is forever stuck Enter the kingdom of phantoms Your soul is forever stuck [Bridge] Cornered, misery's provider mumbling with the spiders weaving the lowest of griefs Pierced by a pitiful relief [Chorus] Enter the kingdom of phantoms Where the waste of the world prevails Enter the kingdom of phantoms An oblivion for the mentally decimated
5.	Born corrupted 03:57	lyrics	buy track
[Verse] Millennial descendants, an unknown race With the capacity to design a new fate They gave us evidence to trace them They’d exiled us from this land A black liquid they carry Able to transmit or destroy life At the same time creates a biological weapon A lethal entity will come Was it on purpose or accident? A corrupted creature has mutated Estrange form with accelerated growth With no purpose but to consume its preys [Chorus] The hybrid one arise The annihilator of lives As a space threat Our extinction awaits A condemned spawn Rendered to its curse Motivated by the challenge: Eliminate and disperse [Verse] The new evolved form has matured Corrosive blood from within Black breastplate equipped The parasitoid is highly nocive Hungry and quiet, they await Stealthy and vicious, they target a bait Then impregnates and kills the host The ultimate decimation of lifeforms Seeking the origins of humanity Travelling the stars for answers Our creators turned into hunters We're unworthy to defy mortality [Chorus] The hybrid one arise The annihilator of lives As a space threat Our extinction awaits A condemned spawn Rendered to its curse Motivated by the challenge: Eliminate and disperse [Lead] [Chorus] The hybrid one arise The annihilator of lives As a space threat Our extinction awaits A condemned spawn Rendered to its curse Motivated by the challenge: Eliminate and disperse
6.	Outer incoming 03:24	lyrics	buy track
[Verse] Found in outer space The evidence of pre-life compounds Show us we come from the infinite We’re no longer isolated in this sphere Don’t know what is out of this world But know what kind of entity we are: The plague that consumes its environment The virus that devours all resources [Pre-Chorus] What if that called “life” is a disease for the cosmic bodies? Will there be more atrocities in the abysmal firmament? [Chorus] Someday the stars will take justice for their descendants (A) supernova annihilates the poison called “the miracle” One day they’ll grind it all A cataclysm to purge it all [Verse] We are predetermined to subsist Death to others for the survival of one As life would come from far away The extinction shall come from the outside [Pre-Chorus] What if that called “life” is a disease for the cosmic bodies? Will there be more atrocities in the abysmal firmament? [Chorus] Someday the stars will take justice for their descendants (A) supernova annihilates the poison called “the miracle” One day they’ll grind it all A cataclysm to purge it all
7.	Beyond our insignificance 05:23	lyrics	buy track
Beyond our insignificance [Verses] Bastard! Insignificant piece of existence! Our time is uncertain, here and anywhere There is no difference about to be or not We are as replaceable as the stars in the firmament Miserable! Fool and ephemeral mind! If we don’t care about bacterial life, Why the universe should care about us, Our insignificant existence? An honest contempt has more value than a false appreciation Then let's release hate and let's be hated [Chorus] There’s nothing special about us Sense of life is an illusion Insignificant is our path The entire understandings is irrelevant There’s nothing special about all Absurd is the need to understand it Wake up and see the senseless Nothing matters anymore [Verses] Ignorant! Ridiculous pseudo-thinker! We are not intelligent, not a civilization Pleasure takes us to a sea of lies and falseness The abysmal ignorance and the lack of answers Ingenuous! Innocent creature! There is a universal knowledge, not an invention of mankind There is a supreme cosmic awareness but we’re… Only savage forms with some reasoning capability Stop being proud of what life brings to you, Happiness feel is the measurement of mediocrity. [Chorus] There’s nothing special about us Sense of life is an illusion Insignificant is our path The entire understandings is irrelevant There’s nothing special about all Absurd is the need to understand it Wake up and see the senseless Nothing matters anymore [Lead] There’s nothing special about us Sense of life is an illusion There’s nothing special about all Wake up and see the senseless Nothing matters anymore
8.	Corpstar 05:05	lyrics	buy track
Our fears and dreams disappear In the eerie darkness of space Remains a corpse star [Verse] A nuclear overload The death of a star Echoes with a thunderous roar Gravity crushes its core From far it can be seen (The) greatest cataclysm Extinction of the Earth is near A burst of radiation debris The ozone layer depleted by gamma rays All life form scorched in a cosmic blaze [Chorus] Our fears and dreams disappear Our scars smoldering and charred In the eerie darkness of space Remains a corpse star Our legacy in total absence The end of our times In the eerie darkness of space Remains a corpse star [Verse] Fire engulfing our skins An impending apocalypse Torched Earth and the human race Enters the void where nothing escapes The dark devourer of light open its jaws Witness the demise of the Earth and the Sun [Chorus] Our fears and dreams disappear Our scars smoldering and charred In the eerie darkness of space Remains a corpse star Our legacy in total absence The end of our times In the eerie darkness of space Remains a corpse star (solo 1) (solo 2)
9.	Emptystemology 04:05	lyrics	buy track
[Intro] Horror vacui, ex nihilo! [Verse] The reign of the paradox There's no empty space at all Matter created from a living void Virtual particles randomly born then self-destroyed Nearly detected by atomic measures An unknown sea of brief life arising from nowhere: the darkest treasure Infinite energy fluctuating beyond the sky The Universe expands Emptiness - is more than the absence of things Vacuum - is more than what it seems It's not empty! Not a demented theoretical prediction Patterns returning to the unfathomable nothingness The invisible hand of creation The end and the beginning were always there Ad cosmum, ad veritas! Where all is constantly being created Our description of the world becomes the one we experience A hidden puzzle yet to be solved Are we creative seeds in the quantum abyss? Most of the substance is composed by emptiness The feeling of "existential emptiness" is metaphoric no more: We are nothing, completely distant We are insignificant, nearly inexistent A void filled by misery wandering through the cosmos!

***

"A must-listen for fans of techy and experimental death metal. The band exhibits a dazzling level of technical ability and couples it with a mind for irresistible hooks. Every instrument is doing something cool on this album, including the vocal technique that reminds me of At The Gates and Hypocrisy but still doesn’t quiet resemble anything I’ve heard before." - Decibel Magazine

"A masterclass in old-school melodeath, with fast and melodic compositions that contrast with rigid vocals. The leads are complex and interact with the rhythm parts and main melodies in delightful fashion. For fans of classic melodeath like In Flames and Sarcasm, this album offers plenty of replay value." - The Metal Observer

"A plethora of technical and melodic riffs in the style of death metal, with black metal elements perfectly combined, reminiscent of Beyond Creation and The Black Dahlia Murder. An evolving modern sound with clean and powerful bass and clear yet aggressive production."
- BrutalView

"Some of the sacred cows of melodeath would like to be able to compose an album half as good as the one I'm telling you about today. Seriously, how wonderful! This is Melodic Death Metal of the highest category." - BrokenTomb
