darrenk Vicious, unrelenting, horrific, filthy, buzzing, like jamming metal and blood in a blender. Yet has a depth of melody and darkness full of shtyle. Intriguing blend of trash, death and sludge metal along with some synth/wave/electro and it works! Fun compositions with catchy song writing that demonstrates a deep passion for the immensity, intensity and theatrics of these styles, and willingness to experiment. Great energy and leaves me wanting more. Join us, drink this cocktail of madness, yum! Favorite track: Born In a Grave.

FLESH MECHANIC

FLESH MECHANIC This wipes the floor with a ton of metal stuff that is being released nowadays. Absolute ripper, I love the worn tape-like production, makes the crunchy riffs especially crunchy, and the songwriting is on point. It's like the grooviest OSDM from the 90s without repetitive boring riff sections and with a bit more blackened horror flavor. Favorite track: First Comes Madness... Then Comes Death!.

mdinight has fallen on sinister town and the eldritch horror grows near nightmare free from the prison of skull flesh born from shadow and fear cult has gathered in the sewers and woods preparing monstrosities' dawn minds are on fire with the acidic pull as reality's veil starts to fall first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death Your greatest fears arise into the screaming night betrayed by your own mind GO INSANE Protean horrors that feed on your fear gorging on human demise citizens tortured and screaming for gore children stare at you with no eyes head from the cities into the dark cult meets you grinning and fanged lashed to a pole and ritually slain fuelling the new dawn of man first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death first comes madness then comes death

Cthonic parasite a grief phage of dark magics feed off the innocent in desperation creature seeking to regain lost youth destined for foul tragedy seduced by feats of power transformed to a wretched slave doomed to degrade You sought the secrets of the masters of pain Ill omens ignored so determined and Vain Mutating the soul To sow and reap horror and misery upon this earth are you to blame or was this path set before you at birth? BORN IN A GRAVE Rotting without a fix of human suffering Aura of decay Can't stop itself A monster now Slipping into the void Slave to the demon Drowning in fear Cries of your victims All that you hear Vampiric, Parasitic Anti Soul A black hole You sought the secrets of the masters of pain Ill omens ignored so determined and Vain Mutate the soul To sow and reap horror and misery upon this plane You are to blame Born in a GRAVE!

Spreading from the waste Barrels dumped out in the sea Infest aquatic life Reproduce inside the cells Dredged up by the nets You can never wash away Dissolving fingernails and flesh Going blind, a living host for creeping slime The Creeping Slime! Forests thick with slime Hangs in ropes down from the boughs Cities breeding grounds for filth Can’t escape the apex lifeform now Agonsing slow decay Parasite warping your mind Brief respites from the pain Lost in the the memories from your life The creeping slime Witness the final great extinction The beauty of life brought to nought by the microscopic The planet’s last revenge Your sins will never be repented There is no god in heaven The god was the dirt beneath our feet And now we suffer the wrath

Devour Hope 02:55
Hounds of keres carry this petition of my wrath through the realms of darkness held between your blood slick fangs Smug sureness of the psychopath cold certainty starting to decay that most torturous of feelings setting in, setting up these wretches for their punishment, their torment their pain HOPE DEVOUR HOPE DEVOUR HOPE DEVOUR HOPE SUMMON HELL withered hands severing those most intimate connections ancestral shame your predecessors weep black tears of acceptance hungry ghosts surrounding your fate to the feast you will not even be of them you will be utterly annihilated hounds of Keres summoned by the tools of war under the auspices of the malefic mars destroy the hated ones and send them to their graves feast on the blood the flesh their souls shall not be saved devour hope

Out of ammo No backup save Can’t bea the final boss You gotta start again Rising tension Getting near Overcoming Thai evil fear Last escape Desperate fight Final time limit as your Race to meet the light Welcome to the world of survival horror

Cut To Black 05:58
cut to black this is the ending of your story this the final curtain call this is the blade in the dark the axe swung through the skull the arterial pattern splattered on the wall the audience has gathered to see the reason you were born here comes the guignol the savage beauty of it all the sacred duty of a victim is to fall cut to black and there ain't gonna be no credits rollin' not gonna be no fuckin' title card and when you walk out of the movie into to the vast of the night so cold and dark are those footsteps you hear? is it all in your head? to afraid to look back is there a hand reaching out just about to grip your shoulder? Cut to black and kill the screen Nightmare doomed to murder on repeat

SurgeryHead Ireland

A dark and dirty electrolike mutation forged from rusting wires and discarded circuitry.
A malformed creature raised on a diet of 1980s horror movies, industrial EBM and slick french electro, SurgeryHead is music that you can mosh too as easily as it'll make you shake that which your putrid mother cursed you with. ... more
