L F Very good tech death metal album with a bunch of riff filled insane songs.

The Metal Spotlight These guys are great and this album rips. I love the second album too even though its quite a departure from this...can't wait to see what they do next. Cool band. Favorite track: The Farthest Reaches.

BUCWAH One of the best Technical Death-Metal Albums to come out this Decade Favorite track: The First, The Serpent.

Ben Jamón Incredible technical death metal that blends together brutality with beautiful, heroic sounding music that fills you with powerful emotion. The ending of 'Divine Are Slain' is proof of this. Favorite track: A Champion Reborn.

His name remembered forever a mortal man feared by a nation His talents legendary, brilliant commander, unstoppable army Sheath my blade and turn to walk away Don't forget that I m doing you a favor Let you live by showing mercy for today This action goes against my behavior Your hero your savior Tactics unmatched, the father of strategy Led his men to victory countless times Against impossible odds, the sun will rise Dawn will come, thousands armed and ready Their blades reflecting light, as if to say this is the last day Holding eager, awaiting command, endless sea of soldiers Parted in the middle, ground is fresh, dew drops on grass Sheath my blade and turn to walk away Don't forget that I'm doing you a favor Let you live by showing mercy for today His action goes against my behavior Your hero your savior To all others known simply as The destroyer killer of Thousands victories and hundreds Lost only once but great, were the casualties Exiled for years, lead an army through the Alps With great bizarre beasts Epic in scale upon enemies he feasts Gave birth to military, strategies great victories Hannibal the general, took down the empire of Rome Refused to be slain by, the hand of any foe On his hand a ring, contains a poison If the time should come, he would take his own life The flesh may be dead, Legacy forever Count the rings of Romans killed, life extinguished Sheath my blade and turn and walk away Don't forget that I m doing you a favor Let you live by showing mercy for today This action goes against my behavior Your hero your savior Hannibal is son of Carthage.
2.	Let Them Hate And Fear 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Son of a general, forced to accompany Brought to witness atrocities such a young age So much blood has been shed, twisted innocence slowly beginning to decay Dressed as, a soldier only three years old Gave birth, to my name destined to rule Over Rome and all her children no foe rival shall stand in my way, assassinate the many conspiracies unfolding They will learn of cruelty for enjoyment. Perverse extravagance will lead to dismay Admired by the masses tried to lead them all so well Illness has plagued the mind soon it will all change Banished, those who loved him condemned suicide Deviant in nature, bodies intertwined While they fuck and bleed and scream indeed to horrifying Cesuras not enough and worshiped as a god Beheaded statues, replacing it with his likeness Rome is not enough the world must be his A tyrant feared by millions, sacrifices thousands daily Whoring out his siblings enjoying their pain Mass public executions, imaginative creative Taking pride, considered innovative Accounts will label him completely deranged insane Let them hate and fear me, for I will live forever I am all men as I am no man therefore I am a god His behavior really sickens, any that have ever witnessed I will live forever, his name, live forever in infamy His mind, and his thoughts are disgusting.
3.	The Farthest Reaches 03:47	lyrics	buy track
The quest to steal the crown the ruler of, the gods himself Can't stop me now the legions guard the gates The journey will be so long where I have gone None of dared to venture, beasts and titans Creatures from the depths and heavens will all attempt To stop what will be done, to play the dominate role I will Lay waste to divine children The cloud protector steal the thunder from a god and make it mine they try to stop me He sends his children heroes, as I cut them down, invincible My power confuses them all The origin of it is still unknown They worship me and history shall be written All will fear the stranger, not one From the day of birth I've journeyed countless years from the farthest reaches and beyond, the limitations of space and time do not apply, for the thunder I have come From world to world I travel, searching for a relic collect the unobtainable form rulers and gods, Desperate to find one who could possibly defeat me, in battle opponent I will die satisfied, Endless armies of the dead have been sent to destroy me, sent to destroy me, All that will be, left is dust with a single strike and titans crash into the earth, immortals slain by the hand so steady, the blade is sharp they meet demise before they feel any pain from my blade I take the form of Caesar. Commodus was a coward Now has become the one to slay, the gods and all shall bow before, The cloud protector steal the thunder from a god they try to stop me, He sends his children heroes as I cut them down, invincible, the power confuses them all The farthest reaches.
4.	Olympus Is Forgotten 02:25	lyrics	buy track
The fall of an empire once ruled over nations The strongest most ruthless, seemed none would stand In their way, armies made up of millions Each Roman warrior knowledge of battle is unmatched Generals victories, laying waste to the foes Sacrifice and growing daily, continue to expand Lasting throughout the ages most powerful Of nations, none would dare to oppose them, Kings and ruler would kneel pledge allegiance to Caesar But in the blink of an eye it was no more, barbarian invasion Numbers were unseen lacking in tactics, execute any stand in their way, Lack of all, honor brutal in nature mercy Unknown to the savages cutting deep into Rome coupled with the rule of a madman, Ignorant in his reign Depleting the nations wealth all order is lost Every single man for himself Olympus is forgotten relics all that remain Zeus sits watching helpless crying upon his crumbled throne.
5.	Facing The Gorgon 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Seeking the gift a hero must travel into the darkness Facing the gorgon serpents atop of her head Fire glowing, the last thing, any of us shall see. Frozen forever none have defeated an endless Labyrinth of soldiers, all different poses As if they not know of her power Cold lifeless stone this is different Armed with a weapon given to, him by the gods Cape makes him vanish so quick, sandals take flight Shield as reflective as water at night Now he must face her no turning back never staring Directly at her reflection is harmless strike the Witch black blood mists, the air Serpents still slither hair, head hits the ground Eyes, remain open so wide.
6.	Pandora's Burden 04:22	lyrics	buy track
A jar a box so harmless in appearance containing horrors unimaginable can't be dreamt up By men all the secrets the power is what draws all to it Not knowing, curious will be the cause of, our end, protected by an angel, Molded by each of the gods we know not of her sorrow, her burden All who venture quest for the prize this item box contains Countless wars waged, over thousands sacrificing their bodies an endless sea of bones Unsolved puzzles, one holds the answer a perfect beauty Beauty bounded for all time.
7.	A Champion Reborn 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Taken bound and shackled Sold as a fucking slave Stripped of earthly belongings Old how you should behave Force to, trained to, kill other men Just to entertain Wealthy and rich, so called "royalty" Taking pleasure in pain Blood spilt, and set to appease, there gods Weapons are stained, gruesome torture inflicted Only the strong Remain Masks worn, inject, fear in there hearts Of Those worthless and meant to die Never did they even have a chance The mob loves witnessing death Entertain them All have paid to see, spilt blood what a sight God and Cesar are pleased Flesh cut, bones break, screams of the fallen with echo The Colosseum pulses with applause Glory for the last one standing Mass graves await the rest Freedom waits for the champion Fallen fed to the beast Slice down waves of, other warriors Beast and giant alike The one, the great, whole crowd chants his name Victories are unmatched Commodus, a champion re-born Gladiator of Rome
8.	Myocardial Infarction 01:39 video	lyrics	buy track
Blood supply Interrupted Arteries blocked constricted Oxygen shortage Will soon be your end Tightness, pressure, squeezing due to ischemia Lack of blood oxygen supply Pain in left arm Loss of consciousness is ending you Stress and physical exertion Often the cause too much for the weak organ malfunction The plasma Abruptly the end comes Cardiac arrest occurred Shortness of breath and nausea Vomiting Anxiety Palpitations It's hard to stand Confusion and fear as life ends.

10.	A Good Death 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Cornered and helpless. I'm horrified and shaking But I must not show fear nor cry out in order to have a good death I must not beg for mercy. I will not see the next day But I'm proud, as the blade strikes I leave to join the gods I feel the warmth as my life disbands, spilling onto the Staining the sand, the crowd roars as I fall lifeless and silent This is a good death, but what has happened I'm looking at my corpse One dressed as Chloros The other as Mercury, defile my body This is not honorable Defile I am in a dream, I must redeem myself, myself, this is nothing like what I was told I've been betrayed and I must redeem myself restore honor somehow I shall return Defile the body dragged through the sand by hooks through the ankle I tried to stay honorable but now they have stripped my pride Restless soul wanders the earth forever This is disgraceful This is a bad death.
