LDM Incredible follow up to the already amazing "Interdimensional Invocations", Xoth impressed me with their blend of Tech Death/Melodeath and Black Metal. Battlesphere struck me with some awesome memories of old COB. Favorite track: Battlesphere.

Jono Schneider Ripping, face shredding heaviness; guitars exploding shards of light and banishing you to the very edge of the universe.

Faith Oh boy. Xoth has finally done it for me. I never quite got their earlier performances, but Exogalactic is a whole different beast. It doesn't stray too far from the identity they've established for themselves, but it's now honed and refined to perfection. Listening to this makes me feel like the Doom marine shotgunning and ravaging through hell. This is glorious.

Captured By a reptilian swarm Taken to their theater to perform Your fate before you Into the death queue The duel ensues A lowly witness A test of fitness And sickness Ensnared, cast in chains Arena splattered with remains The lizard scowls upon you Pugilists trading fists Armed with weapons This exists to entertain this serpent race No choice but to continue Marching into the ring Coliseum of suffering Crowds of snakes Set the stakes Cheer with every bone that breaks Aeons Pass they Play With Man Human pawns in scaled hands Shedding Life as They Shed Their Skin Slitted Eyes Shall Draw you In From a planet far away You were Bought, sold as slave To become champion Die Your Death in the Pantheon One by one the chum swims upstream in kind Their forked tongues flicker Now you're next in line Reptilian hand, thumb points down Into the arena, upon the blood soaked ground Thirst to kill or you won't survive Kill to win, Leave this place alive ALL HAIL, THE VICTOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL GLADIATOR REVEL, IN THE SPLENDOR ENEMY PLEADS, NO SURRENDER Freedom is what you seek A hope to die upon the peak To look down upon those below And never see the final blow A man of myth shall reach the summit For no human has ever done it Slithering harem, strange wine Life and death, a void designed Horrific goliath buried in webs Grand Finale For the Plebs The dragon lord begins to stew Crowd Starts to Chant and Boo Tentacles Grasp For Your Life Memories Fade Back to Your Wife You slay the beast against all odds Cursing their draconian gods Marching into the ring Coliseum of suffering Crowds of snakes Set the stakes Cheer with every bone that breaks Aeons Pass they Play With Man Human pawns in scaled hands Shedding Life as They Shed Their Skin Slitted Eyes Shall Draw you In From a planet far away You were Bought, sold as slave To become champion Die Your Death in the Pantheon

Hexed upon the entrance Our fate has been bestowed Guided by illusion A Vision from Below Eyes like daggers focused Deep inside the soul Sinister grin upon your back Evil was foretold Horrendous sight to bear The oils begin to stare Come to life, they sacrifice And lay their awful snare Painted on the canvas Which should not come a life They begin to speak to me Suggest to draw the knife Blade across the flesh Skin begins to split Carving off the prison This release I shall permit Lust for answers drives us Past the painted whore Walk the path of sacrifice Descend into the core The oaken doors swing open They beckon you inside The halls are framed with portraits All former guests of mine Manuscripts of Madness Line the dusty shelves The words a twisted prose A guidance Into hell The Eldritch Manor's Spell I take a vulgar tome Blowing off the dust Flipping through the pages A madness driven lust Forbidden words to read The pages start to bleed Ingest aphotic lore feast upon horror Leaking from the portal Stenches from beyond Unholy screams of anguish Of tenants long since gone Now the gateway opens Seek refuge in the maze A labyrinth of illusions Madness leads the way The oaken doors swing open They beckon you inside The halls are framed with portraits All former guests of mine Manuscripts of madness line the dusty shelves The words a twisted prose A guidance Into hell The Eldritch Manor's Spell Vortex hypnotizes A depth of endless seas Athenaeum of the senses A mind's cacophony Premortem ascension Soul begins to writhe Psychic contortions Resisting one last time

Panacea of the eerie distant sun Vagabonds of the interstellar run Greeted by automatonic mortals, we begun In a simulation akin to our one Dystopian clones, we were never alone In the world that we once called home The dying cradle that we had to disown Into consequences, we roam the unknown Idols of the illusory kind Cathartic screams cleanse the languid mind Visions of the surreal sublime Vowing acceptance in due time Delusions of the grand design Our lives and theirs seamlessly intertwined Paragons of what the earth reminds In harmony we align Landing at the break of dawn Fortune we descend upon Searching The outer reaches inside Parallel minds Teach us your ways The eidolons we eagerly praise Replicants reciprocally amazed Astonished as we arrived The same ills we have wrought Upon our cradleland Unveiled to our benevolent masters Our transgressions magnified Suspicious desecration of their golden virtues Our guides detecting caustic pride Secrets revealed in stones and doctrines Aberrations divide us into sides Defects shine brighter with every earthrise Divulging where surreptitious essence hides Traitors Skinjobs drenched in malice Miscreants Flawed mutants crudely derived Savages Descending from the malevolent otherworld Profligates Amputated from the planet alive Evacuated from the perilous purgatory Exiled from the miraculous realm Introspecting in between two fires Reflective nemesis we can't overwhelm Forging onward through mystical planes Recollecting the enigmas we dwelt We are all searching, we are creating Making the most of the hand that was dealt Idols that we enthrone in our minds The spool of consciousness unwinds Visions of constellations aligned Latent urges lost to time Delusions of a grand design Real life and fantasy easily intertwine Exigence of what our death reminds Onwardly we continue to grind Rising at the break of dawn Interstellar vagabonds Searching For another way to survive Dissecting our minds Adapting our ways Paragons with our weaponry raised Onwardly we navigate unfazed Death gaining alongside Death gaining alongside Death gaining alongside

At the heart of the mystical nexus Arcane whispers from the oracle Compel descendants in untraveled directions To the phantasmagorical Lanterns flickered Winds hissed The caravan grunted and sighed "Why have you summoned me?" One screamed and the shadows replied Commanded by the scribes of wisdom Apparitions of the past To the blueprint of the galaxies Magnificent and vast Eternal luminescence Untouched by time's cruel embrace Rebuild this megalith The map to outer space The mountainside submits Each stone a perfect fit Riddles within the rock Wisdom unlocked Spires soared skyward ascending to altitudes never reached, like daggers disemboweling the heavens above Each piece unlocking discoveries We synthesize in suspense Etching cryptic incantations Of seers long since dispensed For all catastrophe and attack The citadel has a defense All admire its majesty The astromatrix it represents Commanded by the scribes of wisdom Apparitions of the past To the blueprint of the galaxies Magnificent and vast Eternal luminescence Untouched by time's cruel embrace We built this megalith The map to outer space Immortal monument A sacred testament Gleaming with majesty Atlas for us all Ancient technology From protohistory The masses stand enthralled Celestial architects The edifice reflects Reminds us of who we are The map to the stars
