The Terror Of Gotham

What do you fear?
Bugs crawling around you as you take your last breath
I can smell the fear around you
Take your last breath as the cold dirt surrounds your entire body and you're forced to suffocate
The cold chill of death has his hands around your throat
You try to scream, but no one can hear you
Look me in my soulless eyes and understand that from here on out, you're trapped in my world
Tell yourself that it's only a dream, but everything seems to feel so real
The very hell that you fear could be the cause of your demise
Are you afraid yet? The buzzards are waiting for you
Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I can see your every move
What do you fear? Are you afraid of something as simple as loss or death?
What do you fear? Is it something major just like the end of the world?
Be afraid!
I can make all of your nightmares a reality
No more dreams, just images of what is to come when we are through with you
I have shown you that there is such a thing as The Devil
He comes in many shapes and forms
The Devil is your fears
Never sleep again
All you'll see are images of what you fear the most
Be afraid!

Riddle Me This

Can you defeat a mind such as mine?
I pity you trying to defeat my challenges
There's no shame in cheating. If you admit you cannot solve my challenge
Do you need my help? Do you give up?
Are you up to the challenge?
Riddle me this!
My challenges appear to those with the correct position in life
Tick! Tock! News flash! Someone is not getting out of here alive
A question can only be answered from a new perspective. Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
How do you reflect on your successes and failures?
A case of mistaken identity
This challenge can only be seen by those with a different view on life
Is this a tribute to what a mad dog left behind?
Does your head hurt? Understandable. You're no match for me
Can we just agree I'm cleverer than you?

Don't get in my way, or you'll end up in a million pieces
Don't underestimate my strength, you'll never live to see the day that you'll drown in your wealth and greed
I'll make you wish that you were dead and buried just like the weight of your past
When all is done, I'll have you begging for mercy with my hand at your throat
Feel the weight of, feel the weight of my knee right against your spine
Understand that I'm not a normal opponent that you've faced
Legions of followers all bow down to me
And I will guide them with knowledge and wealth at peace when you are dead, when you are dead, when you are dead
Clutch onto your morals
You'll only delay the inevitable
We all know how this will end
With you battered and broken
Continue to fight me
At least we know you'll die a hero's death
And I will kill you with honor and dignity
The blood that runs in my veins is pure strength and resolve
Like a mad dog unchained, I'll tear your whole world apart
I'll leave your soul broken and humiliated
Let's see you try to walk again with a broken back.

Welcome To The Madhouse

If I weren't crazy, I'd be insane
Laughing at you every move
Come on, hit me harder
Every blow seems to fill my dark, dark delight
Watch as I creep and steal everything, everything that you love
Aren't you amused? Aren't you amused of this devious plot of mine?
If you expect to play against me, you'd better be prepared to be dealt from the bottom of the deck
I always have a way to leave an everlasting smile on your face
It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. I think I'll laugh anyways
Can you hear the sound of demonic laughter?
First impressions are never good, But I think I found a brand new playmate
Welcome to the madhouse
This should be the funnest night of my life
I've got everything I want in the palm of my hand
Something tells me that this joke is almost over
But before I go, I think there's time for one last laugh
This disease I've got will kill you from the inside
You'll feel my pain, you'll taste my suffering
At least we know we'll leave on a good note
People everywhere will remember my name
You'll all know that I'm the greatest that ever lived
You'll all laugh and smile when this is over

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvest
supported by 5 fans who also own “Arkham”
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed.

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here.

I stayed away from this EP for awhile, because at the time of the release it seemed like every "djent" band was copying the Egyptian/oriental sound. Overall, I'm glad I revisited this album, technical aspect of the music mixed with the quality of sound and the br00tal vocals makes this record really spectacular!!!
