Dread Metal/DreadMetalProductions I know drummer Brian Deal and have followed this band from the beginning. I'm so glad they stuck it out and came back with this release. It's been a long wait between albums, but totally worth it. Good blackened death metal from DelCo- Philthadelphia. You can't go wrong here. It's KILLER!! \m/ Favorite track: Deviant/Symbiont.

Iron Legion 03:42
Machines of war, gather in force, attack with hate, sealed our own fate, we ride on the wings of death with pride, bound in iron to battle we ride, I have become iron legion No mercy, no pity, no sympathy for your worthless lives Disdain, disgust, the wrath burns right through my eyes Surrender or die, enslavement there's no other way Resistance is futile, no god left for you to pray Rebellion no more, shattered to the core, you will see, no one will be freed, the iron will has crushed your faith, assimilate or annihilate, all will become iron legion! No mercy, no pity, no sympathy for your worthless lives Disdain, disgust, the wrath burns right through my eyes Surrender or die, enslavement there's no other way Resistance is futile, no god left for you to pray Life has ceased, this world's been breached, those who remain choke their last breath, enemies laid to their final rest, all have become iron legion, all have become iron legion!

The burning question is how to survive Channel the essence of being alive I spit on your joy and I spit on your bliss How did I let it all come to this? Nothing but pain you have brought into my life Littered, tarnished, defiled with strife Filled with sacrifice, anger, and remorse Decisions were made, were they on the right course? The Essence of Hate - will swallow your soul The Essence of Hate - I’ll spit on your grave The Essence of Hate - Foolish enough The Essence of Hate - to think I could save The Essence of Hate - Redeeming qualities The Essence of Hate - you have but just one The Essence of Hate - I fucking despise you The Essence of Hate - and all you have done My heart, like a tombstone, a message was carved Paradoxical scenario, permanently scarred Stuck in this world and forced to exist If my path you should cross, another name off my list Showered with bloodshed, my enemies will quake A festival of death lingers in my wake The final chapter drenched in affliction Those in my way will fear my addiction! Nothing but pain you have brought into my life Littered, tarnished, defiled with strife Filled with sacrifice, anger, and remorse Decisions were made, were they on the right course? The Essence of Hate - will swallow your soul The Essence of Hate - I’ll spit on your grave The Essence of Hate - Foolish enough The Essence of Hate - to think I could save The Essence of Hate - Redeeming qualities The Essence of Hate - you have but just one The Essence of Hate - I fucking despise you The Essence of Hate - and all you have done

Assassinate Only I, decide their fate Assassinate Only terror, left in my wake The world divided into three The Good, evil and Me I breathe in their life I spit out their death Assassinate Decide their fate, only I Assassinate Left in my wake, only terror Badge of the Assassin Hatred is my reason Badge of the assassin It's always killing season I collect your souls I collect your bones All you hold close Now becomes my own I am imposition Atrocious sycophant I am my creation Eradicate the land Assassinate Decide their fate, only I Assassinate Left in my wake, only terror Badge of the assassin I feed off your cries Badge of the assassin My trophy as you die I collect your souls I collect your bones All you hold close Now becomes my own

Dying wasn't part of the plan, fear, emptiness, hatred... Led me to this paralyzed state of being unconscious Embalmed, entombed, inject the fluids...the foul stench still evident, coursing through my veins I must relive the pleasure... I can feel them burn within me Feeding the urges of flesh, animation is all that remains Cremation failed, cadaver preservation, i shall live again With unlimited access to butcher at will, the slaughter will be inconceivable... Nothing left to stop me, the look of fear in their eyes! Sadistic displays of artistic creation Satisfy desires, yet aspirations remain Shrieks of agony still present in my thoughts Eternal bliss in massacre, nothing else compares I can feel them burn within me

Dormant rests a soul A thousand years devising Thrust into his role Apocalyptic rising Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart The mastermind is coming There's no denying this Worldwide genocide Is what he considers bliss Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart Articulate screams Thought to be dreams Etched in humanity Throughout eternity No one will respect Imposing annihilation Except the one Who has composed This fatal Invitation Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart

Separated at birth Opposite ends of the earth Deviance inside is the tie that binds There will come a time When their minds will align Deviance inside will hear their cries Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological Deviant - Symbiont, Maniacal Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological Deviant - Symbiont, Diabolical Separated at birth Opposite ends of the earth Deviance inside is the tie that binds They'll walk different paths They'll have the same objective Telepathically killing Identities undetected Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological Deviant - Symbiont, Maniacal Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological Deviant - Symbiont, Diabolical Bound together, symbiosis Drawn to each other, perversive Soon to be one, culmination Once complete, annihilation

Awoken by moonlight Shining down, burning my skin I try to get up, can't move A battle unable to win Paralyzed, no clue where I am I'm petrified, nothing in sight No memory of the previous night Why can't I fucking move?!? Hours pass as I lay and stare Images form against the glare A constellation begins to emerge In the uncharted cosmic sea Preserved in time, as the hours pass Captivated, I begin to study Absorbing it all in Am I the first to see This horrific astral atrocity The lies, the pain The hate, the suffering The tale of another age Decimated eons ago Their fate prosecuted by rage Annihilation No exaggeration The Decimation Constellation Moments before death Processing the thoughts Of the images I have seen I ask myself one last question... Why can't I fucking move?!?!

Tragedy, life begins Unknowing of the future sins Was the path already chosen? Or is it we who do the choosing? Moral fiber determination Perpetual endurance Uncertainty, indecision A battle with your mind deemed inconclusive Decadence infusion How did this all begin? How was I not the one to win? How to control the fucking pain Prefer to be bathed in acid rain Anger, rage, dying to come out Emotions searing from within But all I can do is lock them in Passionate devotion for the cause In this game of life there are no laws Self empathy is for the meek Must stay strong, there is no weak!

A millennia ago, from the earth’s core arose Mythological deity, eternal path he chose Kings of ancient societies, priests in highest form Their skulls devise the serpent wolf’s crest as he is reborn Lycanthropic Basilisk through the valley rages Evil throughout the ages Realm of the serpent wolf Under the great pyramid he dwells Realm of the serpent wolf Reigning, his kingdom an interstellar hell Hidden amongst the darkness...His desert catacombs Primevil origins amidst a subterranean forest Realm of the serpent wolf Under the great pyramid he dwells Realm of the serpent wolf Reigning, his kingdom an interstellar hell Archaic in form, dominating in his role Feared by all mankind, Comprised of human souls Thousands have tried to penetrate they perish upon his corpse fused gates  Once disputed as mythology Their dreams breed fear for all to see Some have tried and all have failed The serpent wolf will always prevail He commands the land, He commands the sky He commands all creatures wherever they may lie His lore is known throughout time and space Till the end of existence, he’ll continue his pace Not man, nor wolf, not serpent’s son Unique demigod for annihilation Realm of the serpent wolf Unrelenting vipers rise from his crown Realm of the serpent wolf The mention of his name brings cities to the ground All who dare enter his kingdom Suffer the same fate as past legions Realm of the serpent wolf Unrelenting vipers rise from his crown Realm of the serpent wolf The mention of his name brings cities to the ground

The last walk of the legion The final march to war Comrades and heroes fallen Victims to the iron horde Wounds of the onslaught gape From thine enemies sworn Weapons of chaos waged Has left humanity torn No hope for peace Faith in heaven fails Destruction of all things sacred The Iron Legion prevails The last remaining light Flickers in the wind The fires of mortal life Extinguished from within The cold, dark, black takes hold Life has ceased and lost Collapse of man young and old Alas, thy world falls
