Finally.
Thank you to everyone that came out for our US ERADICATION TOUR 2011. It was the best tour we have ever had and we are extremely grateful for everyone's participation. We are going to spend the rest of 2011 writing songs and planning the next one. Thanks again. Stay dissonant.

A lot of people have been asking for the lyrics to the Visceral EP and the split with NESSERIA. So here. A real update is coming next week.
"Visceral" Lyrics
Lower than life, high as the Sky
in front of my eyes
a slow motion world on fire
crushed and buried
my arms are cut with glass
and rage
my life-fucked
what amount of drugs
will clean the hole in my heart?
fill the hole in my heart?
traveling through a sea of rot
swimming with me
high as the sky and lower than life
god? god?
not in this life
FUCK.
Garbage
your waste smells better than your compromised morals and beliefs
your spies don't even warrant a response from me
I should not have put my blackwhitedick inside of your hipster SS dead fucking body
die
I have built a home for death in my head
total fucking war
i'm at a loss
never a way out
no life
no hope
no light
Special Education
I can't fake my life
all of the fucking time
I wear a hide of lies
to protect me from you
but now you're in my sights
endless fire
gone
suffocated by your light
enslaved by golden handcuffs
but not today
not today
Bi Racial
swollen heart-full of dirt
swollen brain-full of hurt
broken dreams-I can't get back
human connection-a skill I lack
the alien experience of growing up
inhuman
never knowing on which side I belong
fuck it, never belong
fuck
Asthmatic
an ever flowing river of blood
drains from the hole in my stomach
socially disemboweled
when the panic sets
I am suffocated by the modern world
when the shades are drawn
I aim my gun at the modern world
fucking the mouth of my pathetic self abuse
ruined by life as a ritual
crawling inside of my mind
out of the hands of life
kill as a savage
eat the enemy while they sleep
burn the cloth
don't believe in anything
don't believe in anything
Nesseria/CTTTOAFF split.
Opaque
you dream in the brightest colors the brightest shades of red pour from my mouth all over your chest staining your transparent flesh
covering the dull colors of shit inside it bleeds in my stomach an old hate nourishing my roots that are planted in this shit hole of an
earth my distaste for you is impenetrable as my soul is opaque.
Wrinkled Claws
You hold arrows of poison in your wrinkled claws you call them compassion lovingly you tie the blindfold over the eyes of individuality everyone’s pain is in order beneath the stench of wind that blows from your shitty wings your voice is not the call of the crow nor the song of the sparrow beyond carrion an eternal death rattle in the most perfect pitch turning the womb into mush releasing the still birth of your 62 years I have survived in this ruin 730 dying days I have sharpened bones into weapons to gut your existence from this earth your meat rotten inside not even good enough to burn buried beneath eons I taste your blood now I am free.
Lower than Life, High as the Sky
in front of my eyes a slow motion world on fire crushed and buried my arms are cut with glass and rage my life-fucked what amount of drugs will clean the hole in my heart? fill the hole in my heart? traveling through a sea of rot swimming with me high as the sky and lower than life god? god? not in this life FUCK.

Happenings/Hymn Journal # 1
Hi!
We are in the process of writing material for a Split 12" with a band that I don't want to name yet. No, it isn't Napalm Death...yet. In the coming weeks we will be posting some of the songs in video form without vocals, with vocal, etc... As well as videos of the recording process and everything that comes with putting out a release.
Here is the first installment:
Some short tours and longer ones are coming. Stay tuned, stay downtrodden.
