In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming.
Yes! Yes! Cthulhu dreams!
Cthulhu dreams in R'lyeh
The ancients no longer trapped in incubus.
Awakening from a seemingly endless slumber
We have ushered in a golden age
Relinquish your minds
Filtering down from cosmic infinity
Non-Euclidean structures rising from the sea
Hideous, Monolithic Tombs Harboring intellect far beyond our comprehension
The sunken city breathes
They speak in our dreams
We have returned to extinguish all traces of humanity's existence
Behold, the desecration of man
I am the beginning and I am the end
I am the creator and I am the destroyer
I am the Sculptor and the beholder
I am the everlasting god trapped in sleep
I am incomprehensible and of deceit
Watch as entire cities fall within minutes
The structures collapse upon the very foundation that they were built
Hand over your minds
I have claimed your hollow shells as mine
Vaporizing your minds and claiming your bodies
to live out the remainder of your days as my slaves
Feeble human minds will never be able to understand
I intend to devour this fucking world
Send your prayers into the sky as you watch your families die
Hopelessly trying to resist my will
The Human Corpse Pile lies still
Earth becomes a holding ground for rotting flesh
i have returned to remove all traces of life
to remove the human parasite
curse my name and doubt my reign
you will see the devastation
that an elder god can bring
pandemonium spreads:
the earth itself trembles
Relinquish all thoughts of resistance
Fall to your knees and bow to me
Be thankful for life given to you from me
Fuck
I, Humanity's King,
I, The Great Unforeseen.
I, The Dark Being,
I, Extinction
The Flood
Engulfs the world
Inhaling the corpses to
R'lyeh
Madness
With my minions
Spilling from my open mouth,
We spread throughout earth
To cleanse this plague
Feeble minds unable to comprehend
Lines have blurred between reality and pretend
those who have survived have lost their minds
Better off dead than helpless inside
Worthless humans reduced to vermin
the alpha predator has lost it's throne
They have retaken the planet that we thought we owned
Removing the threads that humanity has sewn
And the cultists revel in their victory
they have brought extinction to their own race
Used as pawns, they will join their brothers in flesh
To look into their eyes is to turn yourself blind.
horrific and with relentless malignancy,
They drive the human cattle into their open mouths,
devouring this useless world for their own
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, even death may die."
The star spawn have arrived to do their lord's bidding
reshaping our failed cities in their own image
reclaiming what is left as their prize
Parasitic life created to die
Worthless humans reduced to vermin
the alpha predator has lost it's throne
They have retaken the planet that we thought we owned
Removing the threads that humanity has sewn
Relinquish your minds
Your lives are mine
Rebirth brings your ruination
Unrelentless Expiration x2
Eyes cast upon an unimaginable catastrophe
Those that remain hopelessly wander in blasphemy
Abandoned by the gods that they gave their lives for
You all placed your faith in puppets of our creation
insignificant and unable to understand
They bring their wrath to this forgotten land
The Great Old Ones rise from their stone houses
Rising to the surface to reclaim their crown
Waging their war against mankind
Driving these pathetic lifeforms to extinction
Succumbing To Insanity
The End of Humanity
Refit for reprogrammability
Enslaving those with asininity
Great Cthulhu has awoken from his slumber
Plunging Earth into inexorable thunder

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. Mitch Mitcherson

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. mourner
