Severed from the mass of senses, madness tears the blindfold of thoughts. Melting in a strange reality, time flow is running slow. Drowned in an insane whirlwind, my mind begins the eternal downfall. Unleashed by relentless nightmares, terrors rise in deadly form. Drifted away from life that I’ve known, I’ve been imprisoned by society’ scorn. Condemned for a crime that I didn’t commit, I scratch these walls trapped in self-insanity. I hear evil voices whispering in my head as morbid faces appear in my cell. They say that pain is about to begin when the wardens come to talk with me. Screams in both sides of dark, accompany me across the path. Psychiatric experiments hide behind the accidental death. Horror chamber. The grip tightens to drag me, then my nails break against the floor. Tightly tied to stretcher, I see flashing lights showing eyesores. Thrown into a padded chamber, I feel like drugs replace my blood. Sited near lobotomized patients, I await until the surgeon comes. Cannot control inner squeal when I feel the touch of surgical steel. My head is opened spread. Dissected brain ripped to shreds. Reprogram mind. Erase memories. Sensory isolation through monotony. Deny of perception of the inner self. Mind walks alone in endless nightmares. Doctor Ewen Cameron, master of minds’ locks, shuts door of consciousness. Doctrine of the shock. Kubark counter-intelligence interrogation tactics were born from investigation of execrable atrocities. Playing recordings that shout in your head. Voices repeating insidious threats. Leaving scars in injured brains. Torture rehearsals. Brainwash through pain.

Pain Traders 04:28
Back in nineteen fifties, in Middle East, there was a man who returned oil industry back to people of Iran. This nationalization supposed a wealthiness increase as Exxon company exploitations got into decease. Afraid of sending army to recover its domains, FED dispatched a CIA agent with a money briefcase. After few days, president Mossadegh was overthrown and a monarchic dictatorship gave Shah of Persia his crown. Pray for all who suffer in agony and pain, for whom the money talks and all who’s died in vain. Bloodshed made economy reach profits through atrocity. Markets reign in tyranny while oppressed masses cannot see that all their wealth is owed to the pain traders. After decades of dictatorships US supported for, Roldós won the elections becoming leader of Ecuador. He promised to bring people profits of country resources that was previously looted by US and its forces. A court of economic hitmen was sent to bribe Roldós and convince him to keep loyal to the power that they hold. As all turned to be useless and become into ash, he was killed by jackals simulating an air crash. Oppression makes rise empires under yoke of tyranny, made of slavery debt with the chains of poverty. First lines of conquest are the economic hitmen. They dethrone sovereignty through society’s collapse. Hand briefcase, money inside. Diplomatic suit. Charming smile. Corruption rots leaders’ minds ‘til point to sell their own citizens’ life. Enslaved by debt that cannot be paid, Bankrupted nation begins deadly trade: Education, health and power supply; by structural adjustments, are quickly denied. Then corporations like vultures arise to feast on the corpse when welfare state dies. Global Bank henchmen, IMF and FED harvest the profits of dark days ahead. After arduous negotiations with Carter about Canal, Torrijos obtained its property for nation of Panama. The construction of megastructures would indebt impoverished population with foreign banking creditors of American corporations. Perkins was sent as hitman to recover previous arrange by changing Omar’s mind for a few millions in exchange. But as president didn’t want his own people be betrayed, CIA sponsored jackals put an explosive in his plane. And hegemonic empire has been raised by corporations through political overthrow, murder and accomplice dictators.

SPOKEN: Lucy Aharish: "Right now in Aleppo, Syria, just an eight hour drive from Tel Aviv, a genocide is taking place. You know what? Let me be more accurate: It is a holocaust. Yes, a holocaust. Maybe we... don’t want to hear about it or deal with it that in the 21th, in the age of social media, in a world where information can fit into the palm of your hand, in a world where you can see and hear the victims and their horror stories in real time... In this world, we are standing doing nothing while children are being slaughtered every single our. Don’t ask me who is right and who is wrong, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys because nobody knows, and frankly, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that is happening in front of our eyes and nobody in France, or in the UK, or in Germany, or in America is doing anything to stop it. Who is marching in the streets for the innocent men and women of Syria? Who is shouting for the children? No one!" Soldiers in the name of freedom, Ruthless guardians of the peace. Conquerors in philanthropic mission, Unspeakable atrocities. Ruins, cities turned to ashes, The remains of a perished land. Innocents’ bodies count by thousands, Killed by outstretched selfish hands. Geostrategic warfare Threatens to tip the scales Of a dark conflict That last for three decades. Who harvest the profits? Who is the one? Who shall benefit This cruel relentless war? Syria is bombed to ruins By fire raining from the very skies. Terror to fight terrorism Until opposers have been died. Iron curtain still in process, Reaching levels of critical mass. Hostage of deceitful hatred, Entire Muslim culture trapped. Iraq, Egypt, Libya have been Stripped of democracy. The imperialist oppressor Highjacks nations’ sovereignty. Who finances terrorism? Who plays this role? Why the CIA has Sent their jackals to war? Ruthless pacificator! Guardians of the (Peace) Peacemaker’s mercenaries Slaughtering all in sight. Armed and financed by those Against they’re supposed to fight. SPOKEN Bashar Jaafari: "Mutaz Kanoğlu – Turkey David Scott Winer – USA David Shlomo Aram – Israel Muhamad Tamimi – Qatar Muhamad Ahmad Assabian – Saudi Abd-el-Menham Fahd al Harij – Saudi Islam Salam Ezzahran Al Hajlan – Saudi Ahmed Ben Naoufel Al Darij – Saudi Muhamad Hassan Al Sabihi – Saudi Hamad Fahad Al Dousri – Saudi Amjad Qassem Al Tiraoui – Jordan Qassem Saad Al Shamry – Saudi Ayman Qassem Al Thahalbi – Saudi Mohamed Ech-Chafihi El Idrissi – Moroccan These Syrian moderate opposition individuals, who have foreign citizenship and nationalities, are trying to escape from the eastern part of Aleppo with the terrorists. And this is why, this is why... you show this hysterical move in the council for the last three days." War fueled by foreign forces In order to destabilize Government by using subterfuge, Media control and covered spies. Lies about religious conflicts Continue feeding the masquerade. Covered by liberator mask Lies face of fuel monopoly crusade. False flag terrorism Justifies preemptive strikes Against the Syrian army And disarmed citizens alike. Who commit the war crimes Legitimated with your vote? Blind and tied by lies We are all on march to war. SPOKEN Lucy Aharish: "I'm a citizen of the World and I'm ashamed"

Lost in the womb of Guatemalan jungle advances through brush a deadly commando. Chasing shadows in the darkest depths of a rainforest where corpses rest. There’ll be no shelter and no place to hide. Wrist blades shreds through flesh. None will survive. Trophy hunter. Unseen nightmare. Trophy hunter. Silent slaughter. Horror in sight provokes insanity. Flayed one preys hang from the trees. Hunt them down one by one. Thermal vision. Shoulder cannon gun. It will make trophies of its ruthless genocide. Spine torn through skull removal testifies those who died. Honor of hunting feed ancient tribe clans’ pride. Bravest warrior’s despoiled head deserves to be dignified.

Martial march on the streets. They advance in closed formations ready to mutilate supposed opposers against nation. What you see is what they are: Brainless fascist fueled by hatred, Spare the rod, spoil the child. Teach with blood what was dictated. Rightful manifestation confronts brutality. In a supposed free country, it is hard to believe. Fight for your rights don’t let them crush your voice. Protest against dictators is our only fucking choice. Yesterday’s values are only infamies of past that will guide all humanity to society’s collapse. Must resist repression of fascist oppressor//of streets aggressors Faceless henchmen are condemned by people’s rage. No one can imprison free thought, mouth can’t be closed with shots. Violent riots will//DESTROY take over public squares. Though police indoctrinate brutal slaves of power hierarchy. Armored servants without name: First line of oligarchy. Systematically violate right of manifestation. State releases it war hounds, traitors to their population. They change our life and future With a single throw of dice. From the board of directors, life must seem so nice. Death or exile for whom welfare state parasite, for all government leeches and financial acolytes, the greedy banking vultures that economy collapse and all the working morons without consciousness of class. Crush, kill, destroy, shred them limb from limb. None surveillance state can be conquered by pacifism. Violent revolution will dethrone the tyrant state. The paupers they created will unleash their killer hate. Slash the pig, cut the shark, resist the banking siege. Assault center of power, make fucking leeches bleed. We will recover by force all they have stolen from us. With heads nailed up on pikes, their house of cards will burn.

Brutal dictatorship hides behind legitimated thrones where democracy is glorified. A world without nations is the order to achieve by political puppets who sell sovereignty. Now we drown in a savage version of capitalism, a relentless commodification of human being. Suffer chained by debt the social violence of state. Structural adjustments will decide who weave your fate. No one can escape the brainwash of indoctrination. Media says we are free as frontiers fall to globalization. Conquest! To the victor must be spoils. Overthrow! As dictated Chicago Boys. World Bank! Spreads profits tyranny. All must praise corporatocracy. Neoliberal axioms teach with blood: those who oppose will be killed or overthrown. Social implication of disobedience is bankruptcy associated to system deviance. Foreign banking creditors tightens grip legitimating economic shock doctrine. Now world is a business school were corporations feed their gruesome money hunger with heinous atrocities. The green-printed illusion enslaves indoctrinated victim, bred under yoke of establishment, the monetary system. Watch ivory towers as kids starve to death. Banking vultures flaunt all the wealth. Every Earth resources are looted by acolytes of free market doctrines which govern mankind. SPOKEN JFK: "Ladies and gentlemen, the very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. (...) And there is very grave danger (...) For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations… Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. (...) Or to withold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know (...) (...) man will be what he was born to be: free and independent." Now FED rules an empire which entire world consume through economic hitmen of International Monetary Fund. A new age of surveillance is promoted by state high magistracy, paid by agents of ruin who raise hegemony of plutocracy.

Existing in an age at the brink of downfall, mother nature let evolution stopped. Over the eons human gene-code, because of biotech has recombined its form. Seeking for a genetic key, mankind found salvation in transhumanism. Man and machine were forge together as one. Human consciousness was completely done. There’s no salvation for human being, it’s condemned to fall. Self-destruction. Impaired DNA. Slowly they rot. Decaying world. In extinction we shall fall beneath the yoke of the oblivion god. The progressive impairment of human mind boosted an exodus through space and time. Bionic implants created a synaptic network which consolidated collective thought. A newer dark age of colonialism was born form the ashes of dead individualism. Bloodthirsty reapers of primitive life forms. Desperate surgeons seeking cure for their swarm. No retribution for dying race, it’s fate is sealed. Obliteration. Unleashed disgrace. Sterile yield. Phagocytizing recombination of the foreign DNA trying to fill gaps of ablation in their own genome strain. Time stood still when surgeons could reach eternity. A frozen in time human development regression. Transform mortal shell in cold soulless machinery. Immortal became the race in divinity transgression.

There was a time when Metal meant something, Crossover and Hardcore went hand in hand, Death and Thrash ruled Extreme Metal scene and brutal moshpits took the shows command. Nuclear Assault, DRI, Cryptic Slaughter, Stormtroopers Of Death were great nice bands. They taught to us a Lesson in Violence that cunts without memory can’t understand. Decades pass through our sight but clock can’t rot genres tested by time. Unknowers of history de-virtualize what others left us as a glorious inherit. Even today is hard to believe this gruesome prostitution of a legacy. Try to explain to legends of Grind why all their Hearthwork has gone to shit. No excuses, no replies, all new HxC fans should not feel lot of pride. It’s time to reclaim what is ours by right and end this scumbags blight. Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Repulsion received the baton by creating Grind. Gruesome surgery, putrescence and politics ruled when Death Metal was killed by industry. New genres arose like a viral disease infesting roots of Extreme Metal family tree. Groove Metal titans plagiarize the least famous and built the foundations of the breakdown shit. Deal with it, this ain’t your role. Deathcore is a senseless fashion joke. Should not fix what never broke. You’re only a part time emo with a consciousness revoked. Embarrassing distortion of a brutal way of life. Gruesome stretcher earrings that will spread until day you die. Rapcore backward caps, ridiculous moustaches, fancy thrasher hoodies even ain’t knowing what means Thrash. Practice what you preach, to make something of value means more than binary code in one string. Endless slow breakdowns, minor seconds: MINDFUCK NOISE! Fifths in Dropped C tuning that one finger can deploy. Get the fuck out of our culture! No one wants you inside of it. Your shit is acoustic pollution for human consumption unfit. There’s no reason for your existence, you’ll never be a part of our history. Absurdly uprooted genres are nothing but hideous infamy. You drag our name through mud by playing a senseless (farce). Farce is revealed, removes the mask: to captive new kids is what industry wants by selling new products that just sound like shit, made in chain production with sample drum kits. Pride in prejudice is confirmed. To include them in extreme is absurd. ABSURD!

Back in days colonialism was born, empires financed radicals, kept them under control. Self-inducted terror turned into perfect yoke to enslave population while in fear drowns. Enemy outside, enemy within, it got to be both to govern with iron fist. Repression needs scapegoats to offer its protection. Tightly tied in fear, oppressed loves oppressor. To keep the lambs in line: Purge by judgement divine. Ants are running terrorized when stick shakes the hive. Collecting money for oppressor may save you from obliteration. Dysfunctional coexistence undermines people’s resistance. Keep yourself in line, don’t even move, don’t stare into eyes that are watching you, don’t get involved, don’t raise your head... rebellious will meet death. It got to be order through terror, the government’s pay that makes rise surveillance states. Conquest doctrines taught with blood of innocents to feed belligerence. Brainless hatred against all that is different, fueled by intolerance. Fear corrodes weak minds to rise hateful thoughts and pernicious lies which justify atrocities, surveillance and imperialism. We all live under a constant ruse get bombed by useless information through one-sided news. Indoctrination machine builds theoretical frame which limits man’s development to the established game. You don’t think the same, then you are my enemy. Coexistence is revoked by duel of ideologies. Crowd savagely fight in competition for a labor. Shock doctrine of terror makes you fear thy neighbor. To conquer must divide crowd between collectives’ fights. Life will never be the same if martial law is proclaimed. Security contractors will spread in chain reaction. Maximizing benefits regardless of the human being.

Dystopia 04:43
Be born in third world means misery and scorn. Can’t you see their endless suffering? Hypocrisy, arrogance and greed Make us look to other side Oblivious to our deserved guilt For supporting white supremacy And wars plague which drowns the continent In its own blood and pain. Living consumed by fear, Constant certainty that end is near. Sentenced to wither away, Born to rot, become an oblivion’s prey. The screams from a decaying world Cannot be heard by using your new smartphone Or tears spilled by a thousand dying eyes Can’t testify the atrocity in coltan mines? By living your life appropriately You are supporting their suffering/misery. Must look inside your stony heart And try to reverse the Dystopia. Even now exist crimes against human rights But under flag of the greatest marks. Conjuring blinded eyes to see The convenient truth to consumerism. Barren lands, blood irrigated sand, Moors governed by scavenger’s command. But doesn’t care “Well, they’re already dead” Don’t deserve our time to spend. Pharmaceuticals test Their experimental vaccines By using innocent natives As human guinea pigs. Diamonds in wedding rings: The purest symbol of eternity, But were extracted in forced labor mines, Where vultures corpses eat.
