YomaBarr Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. The very first riff. Oh my. [collecting jawbone from the neighbour's below]
And then things only get downright awesome. Awesome! Who the hell needs a five piece DM band?
Metallurgical Fire, thx for recommendation!
Iwein thx for this. Keep doing what you love. Favorite track: asystole.

Metallurgical Fire This is one of those albums that shocks you when you hear it for the first time. Bolt Thrower influenced death metal it is, but at the same time it’s completely unique in approach. Bolt Thrower tended to be a bit predictable (I love them, but you know it’s true). This is anything but predictable. Odds of a physical release are slim after four years but I would come back for one. Favorite track: in decay.

Kenstrosity The Demise of the Sane is a fantastic cornucopia of old-school riffs. Should satisfy fans of Bolt Thrower, Incantation or Cannibal Corpse. Buy it if you know what's good for ya! Favorite track: forked tongue delusion.

2.	angel wings 03:03	lyrics
No souls are saved All is burnt Reading salvation In the black of their eyes Rapture comes Is called upon Reason is no more Numb as ever Counting no tears As all fades Heaven on earth Worse than hell Angel wings Choking our souls
3.	forked tongue delusion 04:17	lyrics
The tongue is cold and wet Slithering The lair of gold Consume, consumed They care not Take care of Unending riddle Seek fortune, alas The serpents call Injected venom Severing ties Breaking will Dried up, alone You cannot heal Point of no return Vomiting emptiness The endless fall The bottomless abyss Illusionary wealth In sweet decay
4.	1% 02:06	lyrics	buy track
They cannot see They fail to comprehend They are not concerned They escape in statistics Reduced to numbers The weak exist in charts A footnote in their realm Trampling those who fail There is only one goal Perfect, achieve and conquer The cost is high But is not paid Insane laughter As the numbers dwindle Squeezed out Thrown away, obsolete Means justify ends Eyes open and yet blind Function on wealth and greed Drown the 99%
5.	asystole 08:24	lyrics
Hoping for release Done with life Sun forever sets Believe in nothing Here after never comes Burning up Hope of no tomorrow Breathing sanity Stricken by knowing Unable to witness light Tear out eyes No need for sight Limbless I lay By the bloodied hands of fate There is no beyond There's only naught
6.	in decay 03:03	lyrics
Whisper turns to scream Gently I blow holes in you Until there’s nothing left Feed me sorrow Feed me hope Eating all that radiates Your soul bleeds nothing Deprived of all meaning There is only me You desire me You lay your hope In me You envy all my might You succumb To me Take all of me Consume my core I’ll carry yours In sickness and in death
7.	the circular strain 02:29	lyrics
The sickness will forever be Given to the bias Look no further see no more Penalty prior to the verdict Those who differ cannot breathe Closing in, absorbing soul The right to be has ceased Strengthen us to see Free us from disparity Free us from our avarice Divergence is fate Graceless in our hatred Seek to blame the few Minorities despised Defilement of the mind Shattering their spirit Trivial identity Intolerance as law
8.	headed straight (SSDecontrol) 02:57	lyrics
Headed Straight, Headed Straight I know what I'm doing Headed Straight, Headed Straigh tMy sights are clear Headed Straight, Headed Straight My goals are there Headed Straight, Headed Straight Why do you live the way you do Self-destructive, if you only knew Everything you do, you don't give a damn Your life is just full of scam
9.	loss 04:35
10.	a darker place 02:34	lyrics
He never fit Lost track of hope Resisting all Refused to cope A mind so lost No home no rest Disowned and cut Acceptance banned A passageway For him to dwell The blood of others The murder hell Innocence slain Glory in death He is his own god He is his own reign The pain inflicted No tears run down He welcomes grief His mind released In isolation He rests and dwells The spawn of emptiness His darker place

about

"let's not ignore the straight-ahead devastation of songs like "Forked Tongue Delusion" and "The Circular Strain" and the fact that they unapologetically melt faces."

"It's absurd that so few people are tapping into HD's vision, as opposed to the more generic death metal coming out of Belgium or, you know, everywhere else. It's time for the greater metal community to pay attention to what Denayer is doing with death metal and raise the expectations bar for everybody else."

- Dan Lake, for Chronicles of Chaos.

"Mostly, the reason Humanity Defiled resonates with me is that they sound quite a lot like Bolt Thrower, and that’s never a bad thing. Atop their steamroller drive, these songs are given room to breathe, the riffs balanced nicely between chunky chords and ominous melodies, the tempos ranging from double-kick-driven thrashing to doom-paced trudges."

"I must say that The Demise Of The Sane is a more-than-pleasant surprise, all told, a one-man band that doesn’t bore me after a few tunes."

- Andrew Edmunds, for Last Rites.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This the second Humanity Defiled album.
Again, a lot of work has been put into these songs.

And again, it mainly is a means to ventilate frustrations that I deal with on a lot of days. Things i see, hear and deal with every day, are found here. Check the lyrics and feel free to ask me about them.

The SSD cover on this album is there, because SSD, and the myth surrounding them, always inspired me. Although I was too young at the time they were great.

For the instrumental track 'loss', i was accompanied by Alexander Swaelens who played some very terrific leads on that piece.

Last but not least, the beautiful art for 'tdots' was done by Kevin Hensels. His drawings are awesome and he deserves to be recognized. Also, check out his band Hemelbestormer.

I hope you all enjoy the music.

Unsettling Whispers

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 30 fans who also own “the demise of the sane”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
