Which one are you? Fall into a mold
Such is the actor corrupted by the role
Enact the end, in a cruel play
Be the character the show is every day!
Be the victim, damsel in distress
The hero, mother, the devil or the whore
Innocent child, be the wise old man
The warrior, death bringer, the trickster and the poor
Pale shades of grey fabricate the lifeless tones
Death saves the day, replicate the tasteless clones
Useless we stay, duplicate the harmless drones
Counterfeit
Archetype we are, copies of originals
Replicas, soulless, based upon Neanderthals
Archetypes, all of us, carbon copies, human-made
Replicas, helpless, classified, meat grade
Prepare - The new breed - Through iteration
Archetypes so great, Xerox of perfection
Replicas so pale, all labeled by function
Archetypes, we hate, behavior written in our veins
Replicas, we fail, impossibility of change
Prepare - The next step - In desecration
Archetype rejected - Disappearing without trace
Archetype injected - Destruction of the human race
Prepare for the silence of our perfection
Prepare the emptiness, prepare the void
Waging an internal war
Cast your illusions aside
Purpose defines who we are
The sweet taste of cyanide
Task oriented divisions with system built operations
The caste becomes a prototype so fall into your archetype
Building the bleak exercise in apathy we serialize
Our differences are down the pipe as we conform
To archetypes
Pale shades of grey fabricate the lifeless tones
Death saves the day, replicate the tasteless clones
Discovered this fantastic band via my cable providers music channel. Perfect blend of technicality and brutality with some moments of groove. Production allows for all instruments to be heard clearly. (I fail to understand why so many bands bury the bass) This album never fails to satisfy no matter my mood. Beyond Creation fans will no doubt appreciate this album. Check out the Narcissistic Rage EP as well. It contains 2 early versions of songs from Paroxysm but with a more raw production. 🤘 metalhend
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
