uroborosfault Give this a listen if you want a break from the usual technical stuff that's being released nowadays and want to hear some death metal in the vein of older bands (there's even a lot of thrashy riffs throughout the album). I also want to point out that I'm really into the fact that the band has a saxophone in one of their tracks, I'm all for implementing jazz into metal and from what I've seen it's becoming more prominent nowadays with death/black metal bands. Favorite track: Upon the Blooded Sands.

macboy01 For nerds like me who enjoy hoppin into the pit and neglect putting away their glasses before doing so. Favorite track: Upon the Blooded Sands.

Bomage This totally fucking rocks! Okay, at first I was kind of put off by the juvenile artwork. Then I was kind of put off by the poor/odd production. Then I was utterly blown away by the crazy weird lead lines AND by how prominent they were in the mix. The bizarre flat old-school thrash production now worked. Great songwriting and excellent musicianship from everyone. This music is more complex than might be first apparent. This is a must-have, IMO. One of the best things I've heard all 2019. Favorite track: Upon the Blooded Sands.

event horizon my one and only goal to fly into the void of space and observe the unseeable mass day one has begun traveling at sub light speeds leaving behind my galaxy i zoom towards the x ray source fire up the warp engine drive increase velocity quantum gate network a link to other galaxies a short cut through space and time six thousand light years away the binary system galactic majesty we arrive around the edge of a blue star feeding charged plasma to cygnus x1 falling into orbit around the binary star relativistic dilation bends the realm of space and time closer still around the black hole caught in a gravity well i struggle to control my ship feel the tidal pull the forces are taking control fire up the thrusters forced to evasive maneuvers pulling into orbit around the blue supergiant star reaction mass is used to slingshot around and make a break but now its too late i’ve come within the singularity tidal forces are too much for my body my spaceship is collapsing falling through reality i pull the level and the hatch breaks off my seat ejects into the stars beyond my body squeezes and i feel the pain as my legs are pulled towards singularity my body snaps in half unable to sustain the force i see a refraction of light and my remnants will divide one by one atomic deconstruction my one and only goal a death both painful and violent but obscure and amazing to behold

the colonization of the dune planet arrakis began with the selective capture of a closed society the strongest of the men were brought to the planet and forced to mine the geriatric spice the harsh atmosphere and the desert conditions resulted in a culture that revolves around conflict the people strove for freedom by retreating to the desert to live off of the minor resources the world would spare once they were free they developed technology that enhanced survival in the harsh landscape forsaken by society they fell into isolation to work on a new master plan to convert the landscape into a lush paradise and fill the desert with plant life and give a great ocean to the planet a deed which must be done to secure a future for the entire human race in order to maintain the function of the human empire the spice must flow hark the chosen one has been revealed the one named muad'dib the prophet of dune one who can observe and predict the fabric of time forsaken son of the duke fight to avenge his death a product of drug conditioning exposed to melange at youth to usurp the world's authority to manipulate its people conspiracy contrived by the emperor himself involving the harkonnen baron enemy of paul usul their forces will clash upon the blooded sands of arrakis the fremen rallying around him the sardaukar striving to destroy him the emperor exalted of padishah brought to his knees by the legions of the desert you're walking through the desert as the sun beats down on your back the ones who've left you to die have taken your only means of survival it's only a matter of time dehydrated you will not go far stumbling onto the pre-spice mass torn apart by exploding gas following the battle of arrakis the sardaukar rallied up the remnant harkonnens cast in the path of an oncoming worm consuming their bodies entirely the seat of the emperor bestowed upon the shoulders of a renegade regime in the name of a new empire the spice must flow “full moon calls thee shai hulud shalt thou see red the night, dusky sky bloody death didst thou die we pray to a moon; she is round luck with us will then abound what we seek for shall be found in the land of solid ground”
