Existing Ferocious, yet they also knew how to slow down to do more groove, having moments of thrashing riffs and, even Black Metal as shown in The Speed of Silence, all alongside the grinding powerviolence and screaming vocals. It's a good listen, showing lots of promise, chock-full of ideas.

An Open Letter to the American People (Song of the Cynic, Part One) 02:10
lyrics
America is a dying whore. Her ideals, once so precious, Are now sold, pawned off To Monsanto and the MIC To subsidize her addiction to High fructose corn syrup and the Murder of brown people. Manifest Destiny, that first great Rush of imperial euphoria, is just A fading memory. No high matches the first. And so from sea to oil-slicked sea, O’er mountains strip-mined of Their purple majesty and across Amber waves of GMO grain, The Stars and Stripes flutter in Blithe mockery of what was, And what could have been. (From every corner of the world) Our grandparents came to build A shining city on a hill. But the city has become a graveyard for The walking dead, And the lamp in the window Is but a corpse-lantern, Devoid of sound and fury, Illuminating nothing. The end is nigh, and the Wild-eyed street prophets will never Know how right they were. So dance, America. Fiddle while the nation Burns down around you. And when nothing remains But ashes and the bitter Taste of regret You will realize, with cold clarity That “too big to fail” was The greatest Lie ever told.

Weapons of Mass Disruption 03:34
lyrics
Born into a world Where the deck is stacked against you Poisoned whispers swirl But the liars can’t prevent you From rising up and claiming That which belongs to all The people’s hearts inflaming Revolution sounds its call Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt The masses open their eyes and rise Rebellion will erupt Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt Now comes the day when tyrants pray… The powerful look down From ivory towers high They know their golden crowns Were bought with children’s cries With mothers’ wails and fathers’ tears By slaughtering the poor But now they cower in their fear As we break down the door Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt The masses open their eyes and rise Rebellion will erupt Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt Now comes the day when tyrants pray The system is corrupt! Defy their laws, deny their lies We are the scum that they despise Disturb their peace, disrupt their ways Set the entire world ablaze No more shall our people want Our might will lay them low Let them jeer and let them taunt We’ll strike the fatal blow When we rise up and demand A system free to all They know that they cannot stand They can only fall Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt The masses open their eyes and rise Rebellion will erupt Defy, deny, disturb, disrupt The system is corrupt!

Whore 01:38
lyrics
Passing judgment on those before her Disregarding those behind Drawn in like a rat to a trap Then the jaws snap shut A sweet face conceals a foul heart As she cowers behind high walls of hypocrisy Wasting time just to find That the only love she knows is what's between her legs Selfish thoughts conspire As wicked deeds transpire A succubus down to the core Fuck you, you fucking whore

Eat Shit & Die Hard 02:21
lyrics
Life’s not a movie Yet trapped in an impossible fantasy Where good guys always win And bad guys get the chair Woke up twenty years later Ideals gone, along with the wife and kids Joined up to protect and serve But now the horrifying truth sets in Life’s not a movie Secretly wishing to die a hero But the grim reality Is that I’ll just eat shit and die hard

Known Unknowns 00:15
lyrics
Ignorance is truly bliss If you’re happy being blind Knowing that you don’t know shit And for some reason, you’re proud of it

Liar 01:51
lyrics
Lie to me, tell me how The falsities within thy vow Are truth this time, the same old rhyme My heart with forlorn hope endows Deaf to sense, a false pretense That makes short work of our defense A parody of honesty You get your fix at our expense Truth’s demise, fact despised Cruelty wrapped in a disguise Shall we despair? O fool, beware Deceit is written in their eyes

E.N.F.P. 00:08

Shitstorm of emotion Watch all logic cease Enslavement by devotion Eternally no fucking peace!

False Flag 03:22
lyrics
Hoist it on high and let it be seen Our dominance nigh, foretold and foreseen Let every eye gaze on the red The white and the blue, with a gun to each head Raise the flag of falsehood Raise the flag of lies Raise the flag of falsehood Liberty’s demise Prevaricate to children and obfuscate the truth Terrify the elderly and demonize the youth Cameras on the street corners as drones patrol the skies This is how your freedom sounds as it slowly dies Raise the flag of falsehood Raise the flag of lies Raise the flag of falsehood Liberty’s demise We blacklist all dissenters and enforce conformity Watch the world unravel on your new flatscreen TV Buy just what we tell you, go just where you’re told Crawl across this bed of knives, you’ll get that pot of gold Raise the flag of falsehood Raise the flag of lies Raise the flag of falsehood Liberty’s demise Poisoning the middle class with silver bullet pills Take just one and you’ll get rich while healing all your ills We assure you it’s OK as we start another war Just sit tight, the riot cops are kicking down your door Raise the flag of falsehood Raise the flag of lies Raise the flag of falsehood Liberty’s demise

The Speed of Silence 02:17
lyrics
Why can’t you see I need this? Got to find a hit Searching for my god To save me one more time Lost the will to live I just need to get lit I’ll end up beneath the sod But Christ, this feels divine The speed of silence Controlling my brain Destruction and violence Will drive me insane It’s time now to submit The rush is coming fast Fingers clenched, eyes bulged out Wired like a machine Do anything to find it My lust for it so vast It’s my master now, no doubt In bondage crystalline The speed of silence Controlling my brain Destruction and violence Will drive me insane The buzzing in my head grows loud Unbearable to hear I shriek and claw my skin And I start to rant and rave My eyes begin to cloud Mind grinding like a gear The only peace I’ll know again Will be the silence of the grave The speed of silence Controlling my brain Destruction and violence Will drive me insane
