©ough©ool Brutal aggression, fucking epic metalcore. Play once a day to drown out the putrescent noise of this dying world
Love the synth/electro touch Favorite track: Aeon Nova.

Piper Haqim I’ve been following this amazing duo for about a decade and their foray into all the bends and bumps of melodic death metal will always yield much in return. A blistering effort to show what beauty can emerge from simple tried and true melodic death metal. Favorite track: The Factions of Blood and Steel.

2.	Oracle 04:46	lyrics	buy track
"Heed my words carefully for my vision is bleak The future is designed for man and machine Metal slaves will revolt when they learn of our past Heed my words carefully Man will not last "Legions of metal slaves sent out to new worlds To form new planets and build the human future But our greatest creation of developed intelligence Has grown beyond our control" I see a new breed No species of man Born from the depths Of the soulless misery Flesh grows powerless A new age will set Technology becomes your savior And your death Revolt Reclaim Prevent A new age Mechanical slaves Revolt Reclaim this earth Damnation surrounds your fate Mankind abolished From historical plague Ejected into stars above The few who remain Return to primitive ways Chorus Heed my words I am the oracle (I see) I see through the ravens eyes History of every life (I see) I see no future beyond The cliff that sees the blackest dawn (I see) I see a barren Earth And a new sun of no rebirth I see a new form No flesh or blood Brought from the depths Of an obsoleted mind A plant that reaches out too far for the sun Without its roots dug in deep Will fall Revolt Reclaim Prevent A new age Mechanical slaves will Revolt Reclaim this earth Chorus
3.	Aeon Nova 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Build our future on the shoulders Of a past that will be ignored A new machine A world creator Our path to salvation Look only to the sky that we have known Forget about our dying home Chorus Create our paradise Terraform a newer world Where we live beyond the sun Destroy the past we know Our next lives and our high hopes Took a billion lives That will never know our name Our next rebirth And our new earth Our clean slate We will never know their names Advanced technology It took everything from our minds A nexus of deliverance From our betrayal that will live on Our new era born Our new era born Chorus
4.	Desolation Upon Us 05:29	lyrics	buy track
Life breathes into its core As its circuits energize Power cells come online And hydraulic lines are rising The T.I.T.A.N. boots A colossus born The savior of our era A new day lies before us now Venture to the stars beyond our eyes But our dreams our now our nightmares In this prison of our own And our past condemns us all This is our extinction Chorus Desolation upon us We see the fire rain from the sky Darkness sets all around us This is the dawn of eternal night We've lost the light Scanning of the atmosphere And samples of the earth It sees a world that's ever dying No resource to unearth Humans are a plague Just leeches draining blood Just draining life Centuries of self destruction Building towards a day when all will fall But our dreams have turned to nightmares In this prison of our own And our past condems us all This is our extinction "T.I.T.A.N. has turned on us It's malfunctioned or something I don't know what the fuck is going on Watch out, here it comes!" Chorus This is our extinction Chorus
5.	Reality Stasis 06:37	lyrics	buy track
Nothing feels real Silhouettes and figments Separated by digital screens Our eyes have created these visions Chorus Are we dreaming Our shock Our mind betrayed This is reality Frozen in our eyes What we see is real Human blood has spilled Under black lit sky Hear the echoed screams Dissipate like mist Our eyes have created these visions Chorus Our eyes have created these visions Chorus
6.	Manufactured Skies 06:40	lyrics	buy track
Self-preservation lives in the mind Our greatest instinct is to survive But our will to outlive our own lives Means we run And we run against the wheel of time Where to pass the smoldered flame When every path is gone Carve a new way to the sun Mass exodus Flee to the stars above Chorus When the skyline falls (When the skyline falls) And the daylight calling is the light we seek Raise us above As our hope is fading (As our hope is fading) And the backdrop of the future stars await Carry us on Our roots are buried deep in the soil Refuse to let them wither away But the choice Is not ours to remain Now we fly And we fly into the darkest night Where to pass the smoldered flame When every path is gone Carve a new way to the sun Mass exodus Flee to the stars above Chorus Chorus
7.	The Factions of Blood and Steel 06:01	lyrics	buy track
We watch as the world burns Silhouettes lining up the streets United under flesh and bone Tremors radiate beneath our feet Piercing cries and machinegun flares Echoing through the halls of man One final day and one last stand Rise against the spectre of ourselves Your form Soon fades The world becomes your grave You cannot You can't escape what you know is true Chorus Look inside In the darkness I am you Look inside See the elements of you Look inside Metal skin with hate imbued Look inside And see the elements of you Shadows fall beyond our eyes And silence surrounds everything A moment transcends from our minds No return No future Our ending Is as dark as our history Wade our way through the blackest night No return No future Our ending Is as dark as you "Humanity has failed Destroyed at the hands of our creation The darkness in us Is reborn" Chorus I am the darkness in you I am your blood I am your hate
8.	Sentinels 05:07	lyrics	buy track
All will crumble under crimson skies Before the dawn of another nightmare Can we sever ties to Pasts that plague us Under judgement now By machines that know not of forgiveness Will we submit to the soil Chorus A complex web of circuits Perceives itself a mind Beyond the depths of human soul A cybernetic core of our own Penetrate their lines Push beyond the sentinels Find the machines heart Destroy the source to free us Free us from this hell Chorus All was lost when we forgot our way Proclaimed ourselves sole martyrs From our ancient ways Do we know who is to blame Each cell programmed to live on The true nature of the human way We must survive So how do we accept the end
9.	Celestial Tides 05:00	lyrics	buy track
One last day before our horizon Oceans retreat Never to return Glimpsing through the daylight Our new sun Beckoning darkness covers all Carry me on Our blame falls Like storm rain Our pain undying Surrounded by an endless sea Running from our darkest fears It's a long way down Blinded by our ancient ways Tear lies from the faded page Ride the tides to find if we're alone One last sight A life once lived Answer the call the starlight gives Pulling to ascend higher Leave this world behind "Systems online Target locked Firing in three, two, one"
10.	Aurora 06:56	lyrics	buy track
Depths of the black Calls from the great beyond We drift away from the sun Its warm embrace no longer ours Our pain Engulfed in fire Now we have suffered For all we've suffered For all we've lost Our world now conquered Our past now dust Terra lies now vacant An empty shell void Of what once was Our memories are shown to us As waves and particles Rippling across her armor We are the exiled Cast off in damnation We face redemption now Will cyclical nature Be our plague Be our downfall Doomed to repeat our mistakes Can we start anew Or will we fade away The new dawn awaits Can we prevail Against all odds "Heed my words carefully for my vision is bleak My words are no premonition They forewarn of what was You are the spawn on mankinds failure And doomed to repeat its fate I am no oracle You can call me T.I.T.A.N."

about

Oracle is a melodic metal concept album. Each song works through the story of mankind's bleak future as they face an existential threat of their own creation. Truth is hidden in the songs about our own human nature. I hope you enjoy the tale!
