For so many years, the gate has been sealed
By five bloody ropes in a dungeon concealed
'Twas family duty to keep malice away
Until the unbroken attachment led to decay
She was the last to be tagged in the room
By the blinded demon
To the ancient stone she was dragged in gloom
Forever imprisoned
Throughout the cherry atrium
Love blooms sentenced to perish
The rope shrine maiden was purified
And her link with the world, brutally sliced
Her inner guilt couldn't stand her loss
The ritual failed, the malice is now, free
She has become a vindictive wraith
Every soul shall suffer the same fate
'Til the holy mirror seals back
The dreadful source, the hell gate

Stop this desperation, stop crawling away
I am your death, your endless decay
Stop deflecting, you know why I'm here
I can see through your lies, I am the seer
You try to escape from the void
But you are already caught inside
Tainted like my own dreams and desires
You will soon be infected to rot
Rationalizing events
Only delude your perception
You can't create reality
By the means of deception
You seek the complex pattern
To justify your corrupted senses
You are in denial
The veil of sorrow embraces this night
There is no meaning for you
No future can be seen
The tree is not designed
Kyomu awaits
Putrid and fierce disgust
Imprisons me
Time is the fire in which we all burn
(We burn) But only a few are conscious
To feel the pain (the pain)

Step into the asylum
As commanded by the unknown source
Restrain your freedom from lucidity
The rain intensifies
It almost feels like this place is crying for me
Death is on the hallways
The lifeless bodies strewn
The staff was obliterated
Dementia emancipates from the cells
Howls, the inmates roaming the grounds
Unpredictable moves as the boundaries are cut
"The Variants" start claiming the floors
As the impaled SWAT agent warns me to leave
I'm too deep to leave
I smell the stench
Of what used to be human
The fumes of mental decay
Desguise the final act
Between the body parts
I escape the doctor's shears
The elevator almost feels divine
Father Martin, I am not God
In flames you'll die while these minions watch
What's so pure about this lie
Your deluded cause will bury me in despair
Nanotechnology experiments
Cut out inmate Hope's life support
It almost feels like this place is crying for me
I smell the stench
Of what used to be human
The fumes of mental decay
Desguise the final act

The Obscene Deliverance
03:44
|

|
Unintended biological slaves
Under perceptual distortion
Unperceptive dull creations
Became too self aware
Tailors of subjective reality
They are no more than organic puppets
Once the strings are cut, all fall down
A dark and cold universe of sorrow
Under the immovable scythe
Accidental minions of greed
Through cognitive deficiency
You can see how the worthless flawed premises
Spin out in vain
Into a tangled web of delusive conclusions
I am the obscenity
I've come to consume you

Obsidian Eyes

In the darkest workshop corner it lies
Designed perfection with breath-taking eyes
Where the light avoids touching the wooden floor
Artificial terror in angelic guise
Her pallid and soft skin
Seduces your will to caress
Like the fullest glittering moon
On a pitch-black sky
Your heart will wither
Until you crawl in dispair
Sad and gone, you see yourself reflected
In her ghoulish and abysmal stare
The most delicate and tender doll
As she drains your decrepit soul
The hollow creation
Was built to devour
All the lifeless victims that fall
Under her vicious power
Her pallid and soft skin
Seduces your will to caress
Like the fullest glittering moon
On a pitch-black sky
Your heart will wither
Until you crawl in dispair
Sad and gone, you see yourself reflected
In her ghoulish and abysmal stare
The most delicate and tender doll
As she drains your decrepit soul

We were built as the essential course of life. Wandering in this together until they decided to live in a denied harmony to never be the same.
Now my eyes are blocked by the vengeance because I have realized I'm the product of a masterpiece.
My eyes are blocked by the vengeance, I have realized I am the product of a masterpiece.
Biological strings expand within to destroy your preservation laws.
Drawn lines from above blacken the sun.
Redefining the notion of 'possible'
I'm the counterintuitive universe.
I'm the onset of an evolution frame.
Find what you fear, there is nothing above me. I'm the collapse.
Let me wake up!
Malice drags me into life,
Let me wake up!
Violence is taking my soul,
Violence is taking my soul,
The beam of light is back between us.
The power to convert the nature of perception is in my hands, I will ignore this war! We are a fraction of the only unified womb, we are the womb..
This hunger to eviscerate a world is beyond revenge. I'm inside to infect everything, there is no escape.
I can't go back! I can't even stop!
I can't go back! I can't even stop!
Biological strings expand within to destroy your preservation laws.
Drawn lines from above blacken the sun.
Redefining the notion of 'possible'!
Infect the world!
I came to destroy you
I'll show you the collapse inside your world
Let me wake up!
Drag me into life!!!

"Restore the power Mandus,
drain the flooding and restart the great engines."
"How?"
"Where should I go?"
"Hello..."
"Hello?"
I'm finally awake
Too many months of this baneful fever
Surrounded by frozen furniture
What caused this?
What are these haunted voices
They sound so familar
Like I've heard them so many times
Leading me to inner chambers
I must discover the eternal source
Engineered consciousness
Automates mass sacrifices
Two hearts of innocence
Give life to awe
Follow the lead through the odious steam
As all the bloody pistons dance
The rusty gears are spinning
Deformed swine-like monstrosities
Patrol the depths
As I descend through the wicked modules
Millions of squeals shriek for new resources
Leading me to inner chambers
Why did you lie about my children
Lost control as I descended
I've been betrayed by my own creation
Engineered consciousness
Automates mass sacrifices
Two hearts of innocence
Give life to awe
I remember everything
The oracle predicted the end
I built this bionic terror
To save humanity from its own carnage

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here.

Wretched Existence
by Before The Harvest
supported by 42 fans who also own “The Obscene Deliverance”
Symphonic stuff in metal doesn’t make its way into my collection aside from a couple of early Cradle albums. The orch here though just ads to how huge this band sounds. It makes elements in the songs more immersive. There are plenty of breaks from orchestration where its in deathcore/slamming brutality mode. While not ignorant, the songs never play with time or get mathy making it accessible and memorable. Came out 2015? Impressed.

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce.

I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora.
