Howdy there all you metalheads! We've been staying in this creepy old hotel called the Forrester in between the American and UK dates for the Carnival of Sounds and we've already written a few songs and have some information about the album we're planning to work on right after the Carnival of Sounds tour finishes up.
Well, I am hesitant to say it will be a "concept album" or "rock opera" but I will say that the album has a single theme that carries through all the songs and that theme is religion. I know, quickest ways to alienate people = talk about either religion or politics but I have a strong opinion on the subject and am going to share it with you folks who buy the record. Musically, we tried to work on having songs fit together, even adding a few ambient instrumental pieces to the album. As I said before, the album will be about religion (in particular, christianity) and will touch on several topics includeing; the separation of church and state, creation myths, the great flood, the verichip controversy, and in general the hypocrisy we face in day to day life when dealing with faith and religion. So for all you beautiful people out there here are the lyrics to a couple songs and ALSO a proposed track listing for the album
TRACK LISTING (not final)
1. Unholy Creation
2. Revelations
3. Deceitful Simulacra
4. Catechization
5. Unearthed
6. Mechanical Christ
7. Mark of Cain
8. Faith Illusion
9. Deluge to Cleanse the Sinners
10. Cataclysm
11. Deification
LYRICS (ooc: originally by jonny davy)
CATECHIZATIONThe demon lord's son, now a ruler of only one nation
Spreading his gospel among millions
Empires fused and bound together by the fingertips of their distinct leader
A flesh parade of a converted public altered from catechization
Manipulated and influenced into a sense of delusive calm
Consuming every word spoon fed directly into their beliefs
As a shepherd carrying his offerings between his arms
Garnished statements maintain and keep his people optimistic and confident
A throbbing army only grows from the misleading tongue of their new ruler
One army with new beliefs expanding through demonic designation
Ordered to butcher the existence of anything contrary
Almost as a reoccurrence of times past
As previous enemies of the forgoing lord have come and gone
All having the corresponding image of god through their own incoherent reflection
DELUGE TO CLEANSE THE SINNERSBlood begins to spill from an open sea, dead bodies churn within the tide.
Attachment, They drift against a now reddened sea.
These rising waters blush as their bodies decompose.
Dozens of corpses buried at sea, they swim in their graves.
They've proved themselves being too weak for this attachment,
the tide rises, the tide breaks.
I hope I have made my last point, for the weak have fallen and I now stand alone.
They now all swim in their own graves.
