When shadows fall, no one is alone in the streets
Keep breathing in the smell of crimson steel, eroded concrete
I see the savages declaring integrity
In the sparkling state of perfect deceit
Chorus:
How could we lose the control of our lives?
Traded the freedom for fake holograms
Granted our souls to the serpent's allies
Entwined to the bones with unbreakable ties
Inside the cage a slave can only survive
Bite down the tongue, in waiting for relentless hour to revive
Consuming glow of neo-technical hives
Grasped by the claws of order
Boundless power, charging the price
Chorus
Is there an end to limitations?
Disruptive way of elevation
Deluding beggars in a dream
Was it meant to be just like this?
Embraced with strict manipulation
Abrasive waves of annihilation
Abandoned seekers for the truth
What you see is what you believe?
Believe! Believe!
What you see is what you believe!
The slow shift of focus from David to Mel has been divisive for the fanbase, but the "Enyo Era" albums have proven that you don't need to have a super heavy style to achieve the adrenaline of metal, you just need a fast BPM, a nice blend of instruments, and great vocals, no matter if it's growling, screaming, or otherwise melancholic. lesserknownsounds
One of the only bands whose beat blasts through your headphone and still sounds melodic. What an album!
And there's more but I'll leave you to it! QuarkStorm
On the forthcoming Tombs album "All Empires Fall," the band expands their scope and range, balancing brutal riffs with melancholy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2016
While there's just no beating Starlifter as a track, Venator is undoubtedly Mechina's best full album so far. It starts out strong and ends with a trio of 10/10 masterpieces, with the perfect blend of catchy rhythms, story depth and musical complexity. _shadowstorm_
