The feel of restraints
Upon my wrists
A sick pleasure, I've no intent to resist
Awaiting judgement
For crimes I've admitted
My punishment for the atrocities I've committed
I will not be forgotten
The images of my horror will forever be remembered
A legacy of revulsion is what I have created
My memories kept alive
By your hatred
So do it quick
Make me a legend
Bring me the end
I've become immortal
My death will seal my name
Hideous acts of depravity
Fuelled by my lust for validity
Burned in your minds for eternity
Whether its fame of infamy
To me it’s all the same
Recognition is my aim
I am an icon
For those
Without morality
An inspiration
For more
Brutality
See
My face
And
Never forget what I've done
I will not be forgotten
The images of my horror will forever be remembered
A legacy of revulsion is what I have created
My memories kept alive
By your hatred
Your contempt revives me
Brings me to life
Your attempts at eradication
Have tragically misfired
Now I will live forever
My impression still remains
This is my gift to society
Recollections of notoriety

Outbreak

Isolated out in the vast emptiness of this deep unknown
Disconnected and far away from home
Feel the fear when you hear a piercing sound cut through the air
There is nowhere to run
The outbreak has begun
There's no way that you can reverse the process
The gestation is already in progress
Your body has become their incubator
Parasitic infestation of the Host
Ruthless predator that strikes without mercy
It's blood like acid melts through flesh and steel
Failed efforts to control and capture
You cannot contain its desire to kill
It can't be reasoned with
It feels no fear
It will destroy everything that you hold dear
The blood thirsty swarm only seems to multiply
Their numbers endless
Regardless of how many die
A cleansing of fire will be the only cure
Nuke 'em from orbit, the only way to be sure
There's no way that you can reverse the process
The gestation is already in progress
Your body has become their incubator
Parasitic infestation of the Host
Ruthless predator that strikes without mercy
It's blood like acid melts through flesh and steel
Failed efforts to control and capture
You cannot contain its desire to kill
It can't be reasoned with
It feels no fear
It will destroy everything that you hold dear

Bow down to me
For can't you see
I was born to rule eternally
Worship me for the god that you think I am
Place me high up on your pedestal
So chant
My name
And sing
The songs
Of my glory
Share the stories
Of my destiny and spread my legacy
I will shield you all from danger
Without me you would fall
So remember respect is due
When you
Hear
My
Name
Would you dare to challenge me
Question my authority
Resist my superiority
Feel my wrath or flee
Punishment for those who disagree
In the middle of the night
You will be seized
So chant
My name
And sing
The songs
Of my glory
Share the stories
Of my destiny and spread my legacy
I will shield you all from danger
Without me you would fall
So remember respect is due
When you
Hear
My
Name
This is the consequence for defying me
Your freedom you will never see
This dark cell will be your end
No more will you see the light
Humanity just a memory
Now survival has become your fight

Run and Hide
Fleeing for my life
Frantically searching for any exit I can find
Scramble to locate
The means of escape
I will find a way out of this place
Navigate
These darkened halls
I cannot fail and let them recapture me
They will inflict gruesome pain to my body
Horrific experiments on my flesh
But I am not blessed with the gift of death
As they are torturing
I am suffering
To them it's nothing
To subject me to this living hell
All to find
The secrets that are laying deep inside
Exploring the limits
Of my pain
For their gain
But there is no release for me
I cannot fail and let them recapture me
They will inflict gruesome pain to my body
Horrific experiments on my flesh
But I am not blessed with the gift of death
As I am seized
I have come to realise
That I will never leave
And this place
Is my demise

Behold masquerades plaguing the Earth
The faces worn to portray
Our self contentment
Hide away our burning self resentment
We feel the suffering
Of masses following
Led blind by hopeless expectations
How can we live our lives of fabrication
When those of truth languish devastation?
Portraits crumble whilst ashes remain
Their minds unhinge
Vicious cycles of existence
We must forget lessons from the ignorant
All tensions rise
Feel the frustration
Take up the arms that will bring the true salvation
Expose the weakness of the human condition
The imperfections are the ammunition
Our lies counteract our purpose
And leave behind the limitations of what we can become
Break down the walls you feel give safety
The life that's led will only cause true agony
Refuse to fall to the inflicitons
And find the strength to shed the skin

With just this one brief moment
The seed of obsession has been planted
I am captivated
The image of your death seared deep into my mind
I only see what I will do
When I look at you
Pray for the end to be swift
When I act upon it
Morbid thoughts all consume
My fixation is your doom
Your miserable life will be erased
I will see you laid to waste
You brought this all upon yourself
This is the hand that fate has dealt
There is no need to justify
I've made the judgement you will die
Now that my victim is in position
No hesitation, This is my decision
Crossing the line, this is the time, seizing the moment to strike
Hold still now
No more sound
It will be over soon
I cannot ignore
I cannot resist
I cannot pretend that these urges do not exist

Sanctuary

Are you lonely?
Are you scared?
Are you looking for refuge?
A safe place
To lay your head
You are like us
rejected from the rest of society
follow me
and I shall set you free from its insanity
For we are you trusted shepherds
Our arms are open to welcome you in
Relinquish to us
And we will take all your pain away
We ask for little in return
Your loyalty
Is all we require
Surrender everything
And reach the serenity
That you desire
Offer up
All you have
Now concentrate and closely listen to the twisted words of manipulation
Foul corruption through their consumption in order to achieve absolute control
You cannot resist
You will submit
Offer up
All you have
Leave your sorrows behind
And join the herd
Capitulate and we will heal you all
No more suffering you will see
Leave your woes behind and be carefree
No more suffering you will see
Come live with us in sanctuary

Forward we march, nothing slows our progress
Without remorse we will plunder all this world has to offer
Ignore the omens of desolation
False predictions of complete annihilation
Down this path we've been mislead devouring all that lays ahead
Echoes behind us the screams of the dead, there seems no end to this bloodshed
The land around we have defiled our leaders watching with their sick smiles
Their promises empty their words are hollow
The ignorant lead whilst the masses will follow
The ignorant will lead, masses will follow
Ignore the omens of desolation
False predictions of complete annihilation
On the horizon dark clouds gather
No turning back, facing head first
The truth before our eyes
We've been deceived
And sown the seeds
Of our own demise
We are witness to our destruction
The water rushes over, flooding the lands
Consuming everything as the ocean expands
Tremors will rumble, splitting open the earth
Mother nature seeking vengeance on the children she birthed
No one will survive as a fire from the sky burns everyone alive
The cities of man will crumble
Look as it all slips away
Like cowards we sat and watched
As we welcomed doomsday

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis.

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!
