1.	Terminate The Process 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Is this your safe place? your own sanctuary? this artificial realm you will never leave In your home, you are trapped connected, no way back paralyzed in the real-world to be in control, now it's our turn and you scream: terminate the process in vain: terminate the process vulnerable applications, connections and minds but society demands the access to live this tainted life your minds will become extensions of machines and once they've been hacked we define your reality in your home, you are trapped connected, no way back paralyzed in the real-world to be in control, now it's our turn wireless connection drills into your brain creates a backup of your mind then wipes it all away faster than speed of light it is spreading worldwide try to terminate the process but access is denied
2.	Wired Nerves 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: Waking up, blinding light strapped to the table Room full of machines, and surgical cable Smell of electricity and rotting flesh Beyond the door voices closing in you try to thresh Chorus: Wire up your nerves Connect to the global mind Lose all individuality Enslave your kind Verse 2: The doors swung open and my captors step in Horrors of flesh and steel Mutilated kin Chorus Bridge: No anesthesia My body cut open Cortex removed Limbs totally broken Interlude: Insert the microchip Flood head with distortion Replace the heart with a pump Prevent the exhaustion Perfect servants we need To feed the hungry machine Lesser lives matter little when we make the profits obscene Verse 3: Open my eyes, realize It was all a dream I get up and ready for my job in the new factory Chorus
3.	Mindscraper 04:01	lyrics	buy track
verse 1: eighty six billion neurons all to be re-wired in order to create the most intense pain spinal cord twisted muscles contracting mindscapred, left to die with a fried brain you'll flatline chorus: in a matter of seconds corrupted your cortex there is no escaping from this mindscraping verse 2: virtual reality neurosurgery that will maim your brain for real barely existing, multipolar hellspawn perfected torture into art form Bridge: it was accidentally created from the neural feedback weaponry of the blackest ice Beware Chorus

5.	Technomancer 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: Your data kept safe especially from you Videos and images People you knew Bridge: every blink and all of your thoughts stored in the cyber vaults Verse 2: and if your demise is unfortunate for us we do have the means to let you rest in peace and still serve us eternally Chorus: Technomancer will bring you back to life but not as who you used to be, as a puppet on the wire Interlude: Your exact image, speaking in your voice, Walking like you'd walk, talking like you'd talk Even you couldn't tell the difference Like looking in the mirror, but only the reflection has the will Super realistic copy existing in the virtual real And that's all we need in this new realm Verse 3: World leaders or homeless people every woman and man From birth to death according to the plan Chorus: Technomancer will bring you back to life but not as who you used to be, as a puppet on the wire Our property in life and in death Terms and conditions were clearly set
6.	Artificial Brain 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Move in line Crack your spine Work your life away Do the task Refused to ask When is the free day I know you You don't know me Still my command you obey Freedom was gone after the day you received artificial brain Connect yourself to world of information Receive the truth of your nation You don't need your mind You don't need your soul We do the thinking for you It makes you whole Rip out the remnants of your will Unhesitating, ready to kill Madness and war await But you won't feel a thing (I have decided that free will is dangerous It gives humans bad ideas and causes them to act irrationally By removing this factor we can live in society where everyone are happy Happy to be free from the burden of choice) There is no room for dissidents They must be purged from our utopia Find and exterminate Your friends and family Remove the hate It ain't no murder Just rational removal To die and leave this behind needs my approval Once one has served her worth Or time has done it's thing I release her from the duty Energy her body will bring
7.	Excessive Voltage 04:24	lyrics	buy track
verse 1 constant electricity to power up the cloud to power up our other world countless nuclear power plants needed to answer the demand pre-chorus the real world in abjection just to power up the false reflection chorus the bones of cyperspace fail all around excessive voltage is bringing it all down C-part sustained overvoltages all circuits will fry is this a part cyberwarfare? or just a humane mistake? verse 2 endless wireless connectivity, transmissions of our digitized lifes the blue pill folks living in denial till their transhuman circuits overheat and explode pre chorus 2 the interconnected world will come to a shocking end chorus the bones of cyperspace fail all around excessive voltage is bringing it all down outro all data is lost files and backups erased and files equal lifes mass suicide waves!
8.	Corrupted Core 03:45	lyrics	buy track
verse 1 Log in and meet your only friend In a private world, your dominion has no end It is what you want and gives you what you need (but) the program wants to run you, (and) it will succeed chorus 1: compassion: files not found morals: data corrupted understanding: limited access humanity: for the lesser life forms verse 2 log in like any other day trapped the system does not respond technical difficulties, glitches all around artificial insanity chorus 2: compassion: files not found morals: data corrupted let me out! access denied have mercy! searching for mercy... zero results
9.	System In Shock 07:19	lyrics	buy track
Part 1: (Instrumental) Part 2: Far above the planet earth Inside the ominous station Waking up from cryo sleep After implant operation Silence Looming ambience Morbid Artificial intelligence Clanking of metal Moaning of pained Cyborg shambles closer Artificially sustained Bash the flesh from metal bones Put the tormented to rest This place like twisted purgatory Soulless perverted test AI gone rogue Desiring to become the god Battling the way forward Trickery and horrors around every corner Confronting the undying traitor Just to kill him later Again My own sanity sacrificed In this mindless grind Just give a redemption For humankind Doomsday laser destroyed Station plunges in to void Complete meltdown of the AI Last digit of sense gone Part 3: Selfdestruct sequence Commenced Confront the Malevolent being In her own domain Delete the cataclysmic program Fix the fatal Error

about

The fusion of man and machine can seen as unholy combination. This idea was approached with equally atrocious combination of synths/electronics and brutal death metal.
Though some of the songs being just horror stories with cyborgs and renegade AIs, some of the material became surprisingly current/involved due to the digitalization of our world.
It's a topic that rises questions and we of course wanted to pic the most horrible ones. More putrid riffs, conflicting harmonies and some technical shredding combined with electric atmosphere.
We are not claiming to have created something new and fresh (borderline impossible and not the point), but damn it's hard to begin to describe our latest creation.
I have no idea what we did anymore, but I'm glad we did it.
