1.	The Pulse 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 No signs of life could be seen, but the memory cast a shadow and through our ghost the blood still flowed, into a new tomorrow Pre Chorus Vacant Eyes ignite Bring the Fire to light Hands to break Death’s grip Scream for Life into the night Chorus Masses feel the surge again Deep within The Hammer beats inside feel the pulse again Post chorus 1 Power you can’t deny Fight for life and the night The pulse inside that never dies Verse 2 The beast born again from sin, let loose so you can follow (follow) A path of rage on the world we raised, again will be swallowed Pre Chorus Chorus Post chorus 2 Vessels to possess broken sons to join the void Bridge In the forest we found a soul A zombie corpse will be reborn A shattered mind to redefine A heathen son, the chosen one Outro Satan’s Son, Raise your dagger Purgatory, where we release you Born again, with fire from sin A cadaver now your master Back from Hell Grace this world Burning time Help me find my way back to the pulse Back to the pulse x 2 Help me find my way back to the pulse

Intro Surrounded No escape Overrun Bodies maimed Verse 1 Pressure, crushing down upon you you can feel the volume as it presses you can’t take anymore Suppressive, defensive oppressing your fortress as we scale the walls Pre chorus Taking your soul on the road to the shadow realm Chorus Bathe in the fires from the seas and the sky destroying your world and inflicting damage Tearing at your chest, mauling at your heart defeated by the power of a running riot Post chorus Accept, don’t resist we’re inflicting damage hold, strong for as long as you can from a whirlwind rampage Verse 2 tension, building on your fortress the final chance for you to breathe is when you’re laid down to rest No holds barred for as long as you last Chorus Bridge except don’t resist we’re inflicting damage Hold, strong for as long as you can from a whirlwind rampage Breakdown The fist of judgment comes crashing down on you castle of glass your shattered tomb all the hope that the powers up above will save you now are stricken in the mud (Overrun and consumed routed to doom) x 2 Change up find a way, but you won’t kill me inflicting wounds that can’t defeat me suffer the barrage of hellfire bow down to your new messiah Outro Surrounded Overrun bodies burned Death awaits
3.	Sludge Machine 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Biding time in this line set sight on sludge eyes Painted blood on a face with no love Dead eyes pre chorus I was just the man that dreamt nothing You just deny my soul to feed So take this empty seed Chorus Thousand yard stare like there’s no one there to see the lies Through a dead man’s eyes The sludge machine rolls on, infects us all The sludge machine Infects us all Verse 2 Bring the scum, Brain dead sons Power unto me show me your love Give your life, Give your mind give your faith Or hell awaits Give your life, Give you mind Give your hate Pre chorus 2 You were Born in a factory farm charade The sludge now calls your name and with every penny you will save Put forth into the grave you’ve made Chorus Bridge A hand comes down from above crushing you into the mud all you’ve felt and all of you’ve known descend to darkness all alone (Take my hand Learn to serve The sludge machine rules this world) x 2

Verse 1 faces of time ageless soul scourge of God’s false idols deluded power born, no justice served wear your crown undeserved falsified saviour, know your role spit your curse, but we won’t serve Pre chorus our reflections we see the gods of down below and the heavens above everything we touch and the darkness caress ruler to all our cult posses Chorus Hardest hitting son, smash these gods crush their crowns of lies time to fight back with a lightning strike Your final form arise verse 2 release control back to all we release you from the fire and the ropes that restrict burning of the pyre and those that resist I’m back, back from hell the pendulum swings parallel Pre Chorus2 Chorus 2 Hardest hitting son, I’m your God claim my throne to die time to fight with a lightning strike final form arise hardest hitting son, lost my mind the grand illusion died Delusion of the masses, buy my lies The Pendulum has swung my way tonight

Verse 1 Woke up in a drunken daze don’t know if it’s night or day busted eye broken Jaw Déjà vu been here before Pre chorus Mindless muscle, brainless brute Rational is not for you You don’t think you just do Your number brings your lies to truth Keep on kicking when I’m down Your time will come You will be fucking found Chorus Injustice in Justice governed by the fist Injustice in justice high on your powertrip Verse 2 Picking on the small and weak Feed the power that you seek fight to feed your ego trip Punching on and losing grip Pre chorus Chorus Breakdown Injustice in Justice governed by the fist Injustice in justice high on your powertrip Verse 3 Beating the thunder from the storm rips like lightning, Night sky is torn Pre chorus Chorus Breakdown 2 Psychotic powertrip, Hit the sky circle the sun, Prepare to fight Perfect chaos now gently destroys Human mind devolved from man to boy

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper

supported by 7 fans who also own “THE PULSE”

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
