mother why have we forsaken
An alluring rock we frivolously dwell on
Regurgitating the bile chemically made
Down our mouths
Down our chests
Choking on clots
Gasping for breath
A rotting brain, a maggots feast
dusk to dawn, a slovens release
Our waste leak onto meadows
Swept up by the rain, repetitive process casting shadows
I wish I was not of Adam
I wish I was not of atoms
"You shall not pollute the land in which you live... you shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell."
Cognitive minds, enrich the torture
Of sentient beings, growing weaker
Lack of empathy, Embraces evil
Lack of empathy, embraces evil
Embrace the earth
Enrich your earth
Know your worth

Apocalyptic Salvation

Arrogant flag. Arrogant minds. A deep dark sheol waits for you
Your veil is torn, christian nation. Lack of compassion.
Apocalyptic salvation
Did he spill blood, so you could spill more?
Man created in the divines image centuries ago
slow your breath while you pull your trigger
Splitting the skull of the gods
While homemade end days are created in our back yards
For the disbelievers.
The "evil ones"
Why do you find peace as you kill?
Why is there solace when blood is spilt?
We're conditioned for an apocalyptic salvation.

Gossip
lawless
No sense of precaution
Manipulate
Congregate
Fuel the fire
Participate
Self inflicted extinction
fear driven system
Connecting
hatred that burns
loved ones and kin
god, what's next?
Masks are molded
By smoothtalkers and heathens
Me vs you
Apathy/empathy
Which will you choose?
Granted the choice, what will you choose?
Will you be proud when the soil consumes
Will you be victorious, while nails are hammered through
Will you be content with the wood that enslaves you
While you rot
When you rot

healthy self, mutilation
corpus christi, corpus christi
sever your horns
Crawl inside
Sever your horns
Cryptic womb
hand caress the keratin bone
I acknowledge your artifice
Once a sheep for your Shepard
But you've demolished the staff
Flags draped over an ivory cross
Idols nailed, illuminating an altar
The scale between faith and law, manipulated, altered
Corpus Christi
Vacuous gaze in the face
Flannelmouth
Heedlessly acting on desire
Corpus Christi
Now your horns are protruding
Flannelmouth
Tongues like a dagger
Ignorant laced words screeched from pulpits, pretentious culprits
Religious selfishness
Is this freedom or law?
I hope it's worth it
decapitate your head, situated in a false crown of thorns
Crawl inside, cryptic womb from which you were born
sever the horns

Orange Mathematics
by Frontierer
supported by 9 fans who also own “2017 Promo Tape”
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

The breakcore section in this track was so unexpected yet oh so welcome. Killer album

This album is packed to the brim with content. Every track is a unique journey, and seems to correspondingly reflect different influences. Fans of seminal mathcore bands like Converge, Botch, and Every Time I Die won't wanna miss this. To quote one of our users: "Best $1 ever spent."
