Machine Head Wow, just amazing. Who are these guys? Seemingly out of nowhere. Strong melodies, great guitars and vocal delivery. Though lacking a real drummer, the drums are decent and don't detract from the overall product. Congratulations on a fine release! Favorite track: Descent.

The Rift 04:32
I feel your silent screams Nothing’s what it seems You’re writhing in these lies They paralyze my tongue Mouth open I try so hard to break through You can’t drown me out You self-destruct in all your self-distrust You come undone Will you end up just as I Will you lie there shattered Writhing in this filth This curse is taking you alive To the depths of your heart I dive and find Thought that I might be the one To save your neck But now I'm finding out that You've run out of breath How can I find my way back out To help the next in line You pulled me in, they're closing in I'm running out of time Go strike the match Far too gone, let it burn, burn Light it up, fan the flame Let it burn until there's Nothing, nothing There is a way to newly begin To find the strength within The fire won't mark the end Come with me my friend Will you end up just as I Will you lie there shattered Writhing in this filth This curse is taking you alive To the depths of your heart I dive and find

Quivering like a blade of grass At the edge of a long beaten path Leaving behind the fires of war Can't help but gaze beyond the shore Gales are howling Waves are calling Torch is burning As I hoist my battered sail Now that the rain begins to fall Compounding the weight of it all The black and the beauty dissolve Soul is longing for the wind Serve its call until my end Rain over me Can’t escape the thundering beast Feel a calling to the grave Weary planks keep me from the deep Shivering hands, wielding command Blackened skies don’t sympathize Crippling wind, journey begin Flashes of light disobey night Now that the rain begins to fall Compounding the weight of it all The black and the beauty dissolve Soul is longing for the wind Serve its call until my end Storm is rising Memories haunting Ocean’s churning As I surrender to its will

Anamnesis 06:08
I can’t escape This memory Why can't anyone Uncover the darkness I see See it break a man Bring him to his knees Join in anytime See what's killing me Come down with me again I'll rattle your fears Hold fast to the ground Can't escape sound Calamity rings The end is in tow I'm not letting go Your death won't be mine It can't be now Right here on the ground Rather than me Why'd they take you I feel the blame From this tragedy Fearful that this anger Might not stay inside of me That it might not let me go Then you'll really see Just how deep it goes Come down with me again I'll rattle your fears Hold fast to the ground Can't escape sound Calamity rings The end is in tow I'm not letting go Your death won't be mine It can't be now Right here on the ground Rather than me Why'd they take you Hold fast to the ground Can't escape sound Calamity rings The end is in tow I'm not letting go Your death won't be mine Hold fast to the ground Can't escape sound Calamity rings The end is in tow I'm not letting go Your death won't be mine It can't be now Right here on the ground Rather than me Why'd they take you Why’d they take you

Descent 07:15
Nothing wrong with me Don't need to be set free I know I'm not the only one With them to comfort me In a way that you can't see But they don't seem to understand This isn’t part of my plan I can’t see them No not even now Light after sound Descend into darkness Seeking the promise Of life unbound Moon on the rise Dispersing their disguise Light unveils their tortured form Veins running cold They beckon with a grin And so the tension begins Can you see the beings there The way they stare and They’re coming out again I’m coming out of my skin I can’t remember Where shadows grow dim And daylight begins Escaping eludes me Fear that I’m losing But they will not win Evening of fright Chase through the night Labyrinth of terror Trial and error You’re right, I’m wrong, I’m lost I can’t afford the cost Of righting all that’s wrong Just get me out of here Don’t make me stay in despair You’re all I need I can’t surrender I will not bow Not to your crown See madness surround me Long to destroy me Silence resound Align myself to thee Another I can’t see Again go in blind But it’s different this time Please light my way There’s nothing I can say To justify the lies I’ve been telling myself I cannot begin To imagine my end If I remained bound See sunrise before me Night does not own me I have been found

Deliverance 03:57
Agents of shadow rise to kill This bleak a scene can never fill My aching heart longs for more than just a shell Wandering aimless inside this hell The righteous settles on the ground as one Come to purify the land, immortal man The dead will cry, they are driven from his hand To form a great divide Cower in darkness, hiding within While wretched wounds do them in What they did not expect is that I’d been set free From the binding that haunted me The righteous settles on the ground as one Come to purify the land, immortal man The dead will cry, they are driven from his hand To form a great divide The righteous settles on the ground as one Come to purify the land, immortal man The dead will cry, they are driven from his hand To form a great divide

Absolution 07:13
Lost in a warzone Whereabouts unknown Will they remember who I am And recognize the light that brings me home Gave a life I had not known The voyage is over The air becomes colder I realize the war will be lifelong And now they’re here to feed upon your shame And keep you locked in their domain Feast of lies Bloodshot eyes I see your skin begin to crawl As you muster your resolve Now that you’ve seen the truth Let it in to fight for you As we surrender one and all See your face Long for grace Stand and pray Darkness fades Side by side Shoulder to shoulder Teach them the day is thine Shield to shield Brother to brother As our fates align I see your skin begin to crawl As you muster your resolve Now that you’ve seen the truth Let it in to fight for you As we surrender one and all
