Aaron JD So technical, fans of polyrhythms are in for a treat. Great message and so cohesive throughout.

Dann 'the djentle giant' Great prog/melodic death metal album. The guys of RXYZYXR improve the experience of drop-D tuning, low-tuned bass and mathematical drumbeats characteristic of the genre with the insertion of sound samples which prove the originality and genuine creativity of the band.

I wish this band will keep on rockin' for our pleasure. This sounds amazing. An honest 8.5 out of 10. Maybe a 9. Favorite track: Multiverse.

David Oehler Awesome, if at times repetitive tech-metal. Don't know how to pronounce the name, but Ricksy Zickser works for me. Favorite track: We Dominate.

Multiverse 05:09
*MULTIVERSE Do you ever think how your life could end at any second? Oh no, oh no, you think you'll live forever It's just so arrogant how we live our lives As though we're essential and count for something We behave in total disrespect of the fact we're always on the edge Of existence and nothing Time is a mortar and pestle slowly wearing down my bones I soon will turn to dust underneath the roots and stones You take all of my time like I have so much to give You waste all of my time like I get more than one life to live We think we're the ones that matter that this is the significant place Vaguely content with our delusions-- to never look death in the face Our lives are filled with trivial bullshit, and we talk like it's a special grace Many die from war or disease in lands far away Still we think our first world problems are worth the time to pray You're not the center of the universe I'm not the center of the universe Addicted to glowing rectangles we sit idly devoid of passion Losing our time as it flies by while we keep up with the Kardashians Answer the question for yourself: What is the purpose of my being? You must decide the meaning.

*TRANSCENDENTAL NEEDS Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known Threatened your tradition, held sacred Nature demystified Black and white paradigm outmoded Afterlife nullified Cradled in the palm of God Invisible essence Silent night and empty skies I never felt a presence I am just a complex ape Designed for sowing seeds Imagination spawned the concept Of transcendental needs Every tribe walked this path and had a vision Maybe God is just too big to fit in one religion We call one truth by a thousand different names In the end the sages all speak the same Forge it, fake it Never admit it Too proud to be wrong Temples, Churches All seem so certain No one really knows the truth Cast doubt, day in and day out Beliefs so very narrow Black light A stab without sight Am I worth more than a sparrow? Strive to be immortal, eternal Hidden worlds to discover If we’re just decaying carbon At least we’ve got each other Search the scrolls Scout the stars Explain who we really are Dragging depths, unearthing stones Wonder if we’re all alone All alone Alone Alone I don’t know why we’re here, what came first, what comes next If we just get one chance, search the scrolls, scout the stars I don’t know why we’re here, what came first, what comes next A god in every heart, fragment of the Divine The choice is fear or love

*MACHINE HEARTS, MACHINE MINDS Adjust to corruption Spiraling through silicon skies Consecrate destruction Drowning in an ashen sea Technologically I'm obsolescent Automatons dominate the present Compassion could never compete Against the arsenal of the elite Face to face with listless eyes, Soulless men, machine hearts, machine minds Obsession with wealth so despotic Laissez-faire artifice of the robotic Tell us to stay in the mineshaft, when the canary is already dead But the lesser of two evils is still evil, and my enemy's enemy is not my... The modern slaves scourged to produce our pharaoh's cybernetic pyramids We are martyrs to self-proclaimed gods, a neo animal sacrifice Let children starve like dogs in the streets But it all goes back in the box, it all goes back in the box Tell us to stay in the mineshaft, when the canary is already dead But the lesser of two evils is still evil, and my enemy's enemy is not my friend We remain inhumane

* POLAR KNIGHTS In a decaying society, art must reflect decay The wells are running dry and our future wastes away Vapid promises spew from the leaders of every nation they know damned well we're on the brink of annihilation How far must we walk down this road before we see where it leads? When did the focus shift to gluttonous wants from collective needs? Massive civil unrest, symptoms of a dying system Transition to something that appeals to collective wisdom. Move forward Bury the structures we revile Move forward Our union will signal rebirth like the full moon over the Nile The war machine marches on, prolonging relentless matricide We have found the cancer that needs to be excised Accepting serfdom, the world patiently awaits a messiah Tell everyone there's nobody coming and you become a pariah With a planet in debt to itself we watch our systems grind to a halt The shit hits the fan, we don't change a thing, the implosion is all of our fault We're headed to oblivion, cause we've chosen to be oblivious Move forward Bury the structures we revile Move forward Our union will signal rebirth like the full moon over the Nile Your loss is their gain We give to the rich and rob from the poor there's always an excuse to profit from war Hard to imagine no possessions if you're sitting in a mansion, The suits were banking on the stocks to once again rise We're seeing the world economy collapse before our eyes We gave you the tired poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free and now that's all that's left of our society The stage is set for extinction Don't let them tell you your vote counts You have to scream for your voice to be heard Move forward Bury the structures we revile Move forward Our union will signal rebirth like the full moon over the Nile

*DENIAL OF DEATH Kept away from the mirror for a quarter century A handful of dirt and mouthful of worms reveal my destiny Obstructed in the pursuit of infinite expansion Repressions protect from harsh truths Flight from reality, Freedom from passive contingency Look on as history’s heroes are slaughtered and we feebly reconstruct Forsake agape to invest in eros, Swelling demoniac rage The god of the atheists Shepherd drawing the wayward flock Spires that pierce the heaves Forever unbound from biological clock Impregnate every succubus and Burn the flag I used to wave Can I fulfill self-regeneration In sending my father to his grave? Reprobate only ambition the endless dynasty I crave Can I fulfill self-regeneration In sending my father to his grave? Enthrone myself the king of the anarchists Lead an army through genocidal campaigns Stomp through foreign roads Erecting monuments that put Lincoln and Lenin to shame Exiled from Eden, I'll still ration the forbidden fruit As the eagle feasts on my liver, I'll share the warmth of stolen fire with you Death will kneel to kiss my feet to make time stand still is my vow Causa sui project spills from my lips, I need to be your ‘Thou’ Submerged, negated, humbled and castrated until now Causa sui project spills from my lips, I need to be your ‘Thou’ Quaking beneath the burden of humanity winding down, the delicate flowers once in full bloom are going to wilt & brown Denial will not change the facts nor distinction nor renown, the delicate flowers, now in full bloom are going to wilt & brown Death will kneel to kiss my feet to make time stand still is my vow Causa sui project spills from my lips, I need to be your ‘Thou’ Submerged, negated, humbled and castrated until now Causa sui project spills from my lips, I need to be your ‘Thou’ Fears eclipsed by the tide, ephemeral ecstasy The corpulent crows, the trail of dead souls preserve this legacy Elegy unto the stardust successor Unveiled the vital lie Anyone can play god, yet death won't be denied.

*LOCKED INSIDE Concealing what we're ashamed of Sweeping all under the rug Basket left outside the door Abandoned here forevermore Locked inside padded walls Waiting for parents to return won't feel the breeze upon their skin A child's suffering is not your concern From a distance, a darker era' s vestiges remain Alone in the cradle, with no one to ease the pain You said those days were over when you joined the union But that secret is out now, no more hiding your institutions The blind will freeze in their tracks, unsafe without a hand Others will lay for years in their crib and never even stand The muscles and mind will atrophy, a widespread sickening apathy willfully as deaf, dumb and blind as the little ones we watch over No one will speak for those who can't speak for themselves From a distance, the residue of a troubled past Society has moved on, but still you let the abuses last You said those days were over when you joined the union But that secret is out now, no more hiding your institutions Lacking oversight Hiding the failure of a nation Contributing to new disabilities, and needless amputations You are the guardians Disposed of by their mothers and fathers You are the guardians But you barely even bother You are the guardians Forgotten by their mothers and fathers You are the guardians But you barely even bother You take your frustrations out on a boy that can't defend himself You force yourself a little girl who can't speak a word Complicit in the death of the resource that we're supposed to cherish What does it say about a people who lets their children perish? Echoes of a cry that will never be attended to Resonate in the chamber at the end of these darkened halls When you turn a blind eye to the agony of the innocent, It should come as no surprise when your society falls

The Things 06:30
*THE THINGS He came to free me from the prison of my own design this is your life ending one minute at a time As the scales fall from my eyes I see vivid visions of what to do before I die Liberated from property My perception is shifting Contrived desire, never have enough The dream we're sold will stay out of reach We whored ourselves So we could keep hoarding We pissed away our youth We work jobs we hate for things we don't need Now we're slowly finding the truth Swallowing lies A shallow sense of meaning Giving up on dreams to keep climbing the ladder Perfect life, trophy wife, did you get what you wanted? We detached from nature Chasing the dollar Not thinking for ourselves, I'll put this into perspective Everything small is just a small version of something that's big Why do we let our identities bleed into the things that surround us? You're not defined by the symbols of your status So why do we let our identities bleed into the things that surround us? Don't be defined by the symbols of your status The things you own will end up owning you Will end up owning you Our chance to break the fixation on power and possessions, To jettison the nonsense for something true Spectating while life slips from our hands Lost in mediocrity, whether white or blue We're forgetting what it is to be human To create instead of consume

We Dominate 05:31
*WE DOMINATE Conscious awake and aware in the world Gazing in eyes just like mine Life is sacred no matter the form communion creation divine So many degrees of separation between the slaughterhouse and the store Ignorant of what we consume to ashamed to look at the source Malicious mantra of might making right erodes our humanity The line's been drawn Fashionable furs, foie gras on a plate lays bare the absence of empathy The line's been drawn Our anthropocentric perspective a tyrannical philosophy The line's been drawn We pretend that we're the most important to excuse atrocities The line's been drawn Just because we're dominant doesn't mean we should dominate, Just because we can destroy does not mean we should not create Placing ourselves on a pedestal like we inherited the Earth We're tied to the same cycle of death and new birth Bury my body so I may return to the land I love Break down my body in to the soil for green grass to grow out of We come from the same place as all other life down here Now that I've made the connection I have nothing else to fear The flesh you grind between your teeth The blood that falls on farmer's feet A dagger drawn to kill the calf, drink the milk don the skin Hen debeaked and farmed for eggs when she runs dry we eat her legs A worm is a bird is a dog is a man It's all the same Organic cycle before life began It's all the same, exactly the same Lifeform Bury my body so I may return to the land I love Break down my body in to the soil for green grass to grow out of We come from the same place as all other life down here Now that I've made the connection I have nothing else to fear

Nonzero 05:52
*NONZERO Soft incandescent glow soothes soft-minded slaves, still chained yet never thought of questioning their myopic rose-tinted lens for ancient fairy tales drop all the nonsense child, for now's the time to evolve Stare into the sun Cross the divided line Cling tight to the truth Illuminate your mind Lifeless bodies wash up on the coast, done gasping for breaths not meant to be Homes underwater giving up the ghost, no mercy as far as the eye can see This is the dark night of the world's soul, don't expect absolution Rolling deeper down a blackened hole, resisting evolution After a decade profiteering from war raped all the land, and they still want more Stare into the sun Cross the divided line No ammunition, no enmity, emerge as one human entity New great commission, renewed clarity, renounce the illusion of scarcity Abandon opinion, erase division, cauterize wounds that bleed the earth dry Natural selection, starving regression, sever the limbs that constrict those who fly Underground, where we've all been gagged and bound Underground, ignorance resounds Underground, I'm not coming back around Underground, once lost but now found Abandon opinion, erase division, cauterize wounds that bleed the earth dry Natural selection, starving regression, sever the limbs that constrict those who fly Transcend the creeds Unlock the chains Abolish the law Baptize in light
