met3mpsyk6sis This collection of songs is what we need in today's landscape. Chaos Doll has some things to say and you should be listening. Between her clashing percussion, resonating basses and skillfully crafted synths painting the picture, she whispers doom and foreboding words of caution. This industrial journey will easily be one to beat for my favorite release of the year. Favorite track: Madness Lies.

the_marg0r A wonderful mix of evocative industrial sounds with a bit of a melancholic break in the middle in the form of Peacekeepers. Every track has a different sound so it doesn't get boring. I especially like how fucked up the lyrics in Pretend get, with a strangely catchy chorus that sounds like what I can only describe as a commercial jingle for a suicide booth. Favorite track: Pretend.

Management 03:58
Welcome to the morning news, don’t think about the event. Remain indoors and close your eyes, you shouldn’t question what we’ve said. You woke up this morning and you begged for the status quo. A return to normality and the safety that you think you know. But the system you remember, that’s what got you here. Drowning in your nostalgia, until you’ve realized all your fears. You’ll justify anything to feel like you’re on the right side. But when you face the consequences, you’ll have nowhere left to hide. So desperate to win every single debate. You won’t learn until it’s too fucking late. Self-righteous indignation disguised as concern. You have no idea of the punishment you’ve earned. From both your faces, apathy abounds. Soon you’ll feel so very lost, you’ll never want to be found. It’s not what you expected, but it’s what you deserve. All that's left beyond this point is choosing who to serve. Maybe you can join us, maybe you’ll improve. Maybe you’ll misplace your mind, if you have any left to lose. Control is not your strong suit, so just give in and kneel. So confused by fantasy, you don’t even know what's real. Now put aside your worries and cremate all your cares. Place your hand above your heart, because Chaos lives right there. There's no need to panic, there's nothing you can do. Just stay calm and carry on. We have our eyes on you.

Pretend 03:45
Tried to fix our heads We came apart instead Into a little dream That's not quite what it seems The monsters here are real Our skin begins to peel We pick until we bleed To feel the pain we need We’re falling back again To where it all begins The tensions rising up And everything is fucked We don’t know who to blame Because they look the same These filthy fucking worms Will get what they deserve There's no need to pretend That we don’t want it to end Set the trash heap alight Wave goodbye to the blight How much can we take of fear we’ll never wake This torment knows no end How far must we descend These people half asleep Identified as sheep Their vain and plastic dreams Just scratching at the seams To tear this world apart And crush our beating hearts We’re burning in our wrath For glowing aftermath We’d rather smash our skulls Than be so fucking dull This suffering release Will finally bring us peace There's no need to pretend That we don’t want it to end Set the trash heap alight Wave goodbye to the blight

Peacekeepers 03:19
Here we go again Marching into sin We’re rotten to the core And must be cleansed by war In violence we can live And bullets can forgive So dig a little hole It’s time to save your soul Who knew keeping peace required so much death We’ll never see the face of God until our final breath We worship pain and toxic savagery All the prayers in the world can’t redeem humanity Conflict gives us peace In death we’ll find release From all we thought we were When all our eyes were blurred This world is just disease With nothing left to seize So what can we defend Except this bitter end Who knew keeping peace required so much death We’ll never see the face of God until our final breath We worship pain and toxic savagery All the prayers in the world can’t redeem humanity

Resist 03:34
Hate is something they do well Destroy the weak to please themselves Fear is all they really need To keep the masses on their knees Their whole system needs to fall Before their greed consumes us all Don’t fall for the web they weave They only know how to deceive Watch them weep as markets crash And all their lies are burnt to ash There's nowhere that they can run When their whole world has come undone Raise your voice or make a fist There's no wrong way to resist They can’t tell you who to be Or take away your dignity Fight against their mind control The only way to free your soul

Madness Lies 03:48
A moment of silence is all it takes She slips inside, oh those chemical eyes Looking deep, what will they see? Memories of you that you could never be “Oh what a fool” she whispers in the dark The story ends, you’ve played your part All those distractions, the ones you adore Will be your downfall, forever more Time and time again, you're on your own and you always have been We've seen it all before, a hollowness of truth When madness lies and there's nothing you can do That's why you've built this perfect cage and made sure you can't escape It keeps you hollow, to keep you numb It keeps your species blind and dumb There is no waking up from this
