GeneralLeeStupid Metropolis Records, do a small batch vinyl run on this album. Sell it on tour and here. This album is worth doing it for. This album has high production value and has so many sounds and layers going on. This is the most original sound I have heard in a long time.

Fav tracks: Mean World Syndrome, I'm the Payload,
Instigation, Fear the Watchman and Dicks in Tanks. Favorite track: I'm the Payload.

VA•THAN•JA Heavy industrial rock, beautiful orchestral arrangements, clever lyrics and a metric ton of well-placed samples – this ambitious dystopic pulp-scifi-technoir record really does it all. A must-buy! Hail Eris. Favorite track: Cold War Fusion.

Well hey! If it isn’t favourite audience Always ready to listen and learn Bow down, your obedience You’re in luck, we’ve decided to return For years they have been lurking in the tunnels down beneath They’re back into the limelight Now armed to the teeth So, just what you’ve waiting for Morlocks in the house Lamashtu, Innocentius and that fucker Strauss Consider them a threat to morality and common sense You ain’t seen nothing yet of their bizarre and cryptic influence Prepare to be lead astray Courtesy of Käpt’n K Nothing will make sense to your confusion and dismay It doesn’t matter what you try Everyone is gonna die Join the lamentation of the mean world syndrome Hiding in the shadows of your own safe little universe Under the impression that it’s always getting worse! And it is! You know it’s true! Black helicopters coming for you and your guns! By the power of mace and taser You glorious chemtrailblazer You’re so pretty in your tinfoil hat You are clutching pearls the world is flat What kind of fuckery is that? Some like it dirty (Some like it dirty) Some like it (Some like it hot Some like it different like it different) But we do (Oh no we don’t) The world is full of things That we never comprehended Pull my strings and let’s get offended Cut and run, cease and desist It’s all so problematic and we’re keeping a list And I can’t handle words I don’t know what to do My natural reaction is to deplatform you Take measures and ban this song Everything is bad if you’re doing it wrong And always remember that you’d rather be dead Than give in to the man and that chip in you head Drink your silver, stay secure Completely resistant but ritually impure True to the Q, let all secrets transpire Remain in your echo chamber Preach to the choir Never make up for the lack of spines Always assume and read between the lines Hidden death rays spreading through the air Make sure to wake up, sheeple Stick it to the lizard people Bringing out the panic and despair And they feed on irrational fears Doomsday is coming, it will end in tears But I’m just a morlock and you know that’s why I don’t care I was born to raise cats Nobody but you can authorize opinions Everybody’s evil but you and your minions Smash your own head! Rinse and repeat! Everyone’s a slave to the ultra heavy beat They said it on the news There ain’t no cure for the present time blues, no! Nobody hears you, what a shame Dissent and denial, the modus operandi Trust no one, keep your laser handy There’s always someone else to blame They’re onto me, they’re onto you They’re onto God and country too Everything you can’t explain is nothing but an outrage Post traumatic soul distress Damaged by the yellow press Put your own brain in a Faraday cage Name the prize! Advertise! Weaponise! Agonise! Easy to control Everything is fatal and it’s aiming for your soul There’s nothing much to tell But a great deal to sell Everybody’s hostile The horizon has blackened It’s a pity that the world will end But worse things have happened

I am disarray You have lost your way We will travel on cosmic rays I was born of night Goddess out of spite Hear me sing or just turn away Me, deceivous Glorious, devious Tell me what you see Hear my serpent hiss Feel my dagger’s kiss Come or let me be Daughter of the void Left out and annoyed Vengeant, quick to resent Torch and snake and knife Controverse and strife For my pleasure and merriment Chaos come to me Random state of entropy Doubt and you’ll break free Join me, all my dears Hear the music of the spheres In disharmony I am chaos I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy I am chaos, I am alive I tell you that you are free Dance on a wire Sing loud, strike a chord My crotch is on fire and my head is full of fnords Fight for the apple The ultimate source There are way too many Greeks in this horse The universe’s a little twitchy When it gets a dropkick from the inside Things are getting out of hand When I sometimes get a little bitchy She in her power sowed the seed to this song and her sisters maintained the inspiration Do what thou wilt, rejoice, sing along but don’t wait for an invitation The gods feared the war but I no longer fear to ask for more I’m taking delight in what other’s abhor Diverge and disrupt to the core to accept or ignore But don’t ever pray She would take it as an insult Devoted worship would push her away Even your occasional death cult So we built her no temples No idols nor shrines Not that she’d care, she’d go ‘damn it’ But far, far away where the sun barely shines She finally got a dwarf planet My golden gift really made them fall That is what I do It’s for the fairest of them all and that’s not you I walk by your side Though I mostly hide I’m your lodestar and your guide Take me by the hand Try to understand Search the flame of the firebrand Hail Discordia Eris Gloria Hail Discordia Hail Discordia Misericordia Hail Discordia

It was back in the days in the outer rims, one night I was high on life and drunk as fuck It was quite all right What a perfect evening for a grand theft spacecraft Up up and away Keep the cops at bay, yo ho! There’s always someone that will hunt me out of greed As the saying goes, yeah: Bad news travel in hyper speed She’s on a killing spree and there she flies With artificial red hair and augmented eyes I’m up for grabs, she’s in for a fight She wants me dead or in carbonite She does whatever it takes to receive her payment She's a ruthless bail enforcement agent I’m astray and misled There’s a bounty on my head I’m the payload The first time that I met her Well what could I do? I was lying in a puddle of alien goo There was heat in the air and I think she felt it too A cybernetic goddess in sparkling armour Said “I want you” I was tipsy but fine And just a little groggy And I went out of line And I offered my body She cocked her gun With a face filled with dread And said she only wanted my head That’s when my heart did melt in the asteroid belt It was the weirdest feeling that I’ve ever felt These bounty hunters It’s hard to resist them As I’m wanted in twenty three different systems I’m a reckless rogue Feel my laser vogue I barely got away and now I am her prey and the payload Dashing through the meteor showers Accelerating on maximum power Just give up Throw your hands up and hang on I’ve got plenty of bombs and fifty seven cannons Pow! I’m faster than light Lock on target, in my line of sight In space no one can hear you scream I’ve got you in my tractor beam Full speed energy shuttle thruster You’re the payload, I’m your buster 1 2 3, I’ll shoot you down Shoot you down, get this I’ll shoot you down down down down I’ll shoot you down I’m hit and I am running out of fuel Abandon ship now How could she be so cruel? Diving headfirst straight into a black hole is suicide So I fire up my jet pack with a flick of the switch and go (baby go baby baby go go) I’m a rocket man, I’m flying free Make way for my trajectory She’s a missile queen, she’s in pursuit and en route And I’m trying hard But I can’t believe my luck as I ride shotgun in her starship, motherfuckers I’m in love at gunpoint On the milky road I’m the payload I was caught in a crash She only wants me for cash And if she turns her back I will be gone in a flash Our love affair is strictly monetary She’s my intergalactic adversary

F.U.D. 05:56
The ranks unfold Leaning against their gods Dark echoes of old The rise of the bundle of rods Don’t trust that man And don’t trust that man False prophets Hatchlings from rotten pods The ring of stars Shines on a few percent Don’t mind that farce Rome always falls in the end For every puppeteer in charge For every bankster still at large The game is on The road is paved with nails and teeth to hell on earth and beyond White saviours Straight from the muck of the pond Uncivil rights for all the world to see Hidebound troglodytes Knights of conformity Blinded by the vision of a phallic run society Killing for tradition and that god sent inequality Holy book thumpers We’re the whores of Babylon Within the lands we bled upon As foretold in the pages of the Necronominocon Barren fields of junk and slag Your nation’s banner is a rag Let’s burn them all but Jolly Roger and that pretty rainbow flag Fear! Uncertainty! Doubt! Vile corrupt economists Blood anointed dogmatists Whining sad misogynists Simian supremacists Market forces bring decay The Eurocrats have had their way Workers treated like machines Built to serve the kings and queens You’re fighting the collective sin And walk in other people’s skin Scared of everything obscene Sucking out the oxygen Dividing of the classes Manipulate the masses Who all deny the greater good They’re wallowing in victimhood and Fear! Uncertainty! Doubt!

Instigation 05:20
Please, don’t mind us while we’re dropping a bombshell Your plans have gone astray We reply to you actions with love and shrapnel It’s our way or the subway I say: What’s that buzzing noise? Who’s that distorted voice? What got through the ice? There’s someone else in this device! Uninvited eyes, bugs for the sneaky spies White washing, fear and lies Just take your chance and roll the dice Keep the masses blind The truth has been confined And well hidden from the hibernating hive mind Collective consciousness is being sedated Jesus died for your sins but your rights were disintegrated For your convenience For your protection For your own good They’re gonna nail you to the floor For your safety Bug you in secrecy For homeworld security They’ll do what they have done before! And they want more! Bring out your megaphone and roar! This calls for war! We’re in the middle of a state of commotion Let trouble and discord grow Retaliation and retribution It’s an instigation to shout All systems go with the battle droids Go for broke Just go haywire, (make a fire) Let it all go up in smoke Aim to controvert Target, count and throw One for the hand grenade and two for the show And lo! Gangway ho!

Test tubes in their racks Goggles, funnels, boiling flasks Spatulas, scoopulas, thermometers Flashing screens, weird machines Fishy schemes with random genes Caustic fluids, acrid sludge in catheters Wicked beasts and tiny spores Molecules to explore A carnivore they can’t ignore Stop me if you’ve heard this one before Going once, going thrice Set me up and splice me nice Take notes and my advice: Every cell is miscible Pioneer, engineer Body parts and rusty gear Cords to brains, sticky stains Most are inexplicable An overlooked poor genius I’m feeling kind of miserable Everybody thinks it’s just a scam My dissident experiments They may not be permissible Those fools, one day I’ll show them what I am Crossbreed, creep feed If we prick them, do they not bleed? Freak mutation, bad seed, what a misdeed See my little subject Restrained by chains and tongs What I’m about to inject can’t possibly go wrong The nightmare, oh the horror How repulsive, what a grievous fright Somebody messed around with the gene bank I am waking up with limbs I didn’t have before the previous night and unknown creatures in the fish tank Living liquid in a cup A rotten corpse reanimated Small heads in a jar just as a showcase We don’t speak about the cover ups The vile things we incinerated God knows what’s buried in the crawlspace I have mighty potions Shots and pills that will enhance you, baby Amplify, rewrite you DNA Just take the chance A mighty evolution you can dance to Don’t mind those throbbing outgrowths anyway Horrid pain, metamorphosis Foul dissections by the ton A brand new strain with strange necrosis But never ask “My Lord what have I done?” Doctor of the lunatic fringe Watch me wield my huge syringe Ominous and luminous Green and glowing Tentacle, pseudopod Awakened by a lightning rod Overdrive! It’s alive! Fierce and growing Look at me, I feel so free With no responsibility Perfect abnormality Unnatural depravity Madness all around That raving monster is unbound So primitive! Vestigial! Let’s cut off its head! And talons too! Vivisection! That’s my cue! Abiogenesis for fun and profit Fetch that monochromosome, Those organisms, bring them to me Modified genomes will be the key But I am just a tool in this evolutionary apogee Ending up with fell voracious things that should not be But I don’t feel no shame in my unspeakable laboratory Pushing all the limits at all costs Willingly I cross, for stature, fame and scientific glory Boundaries that ought not to be crossed

Voices in the distance but no-one is nearby Empty halls and alleyways Make sure to consider the all seeing eye The walls have ears, nights and days There is always someone else to detain Tirelessly, constantly, time and again Your phone is connected to God knows where Lock on target, drones in the air Who’s that shadow, who’s that man? Who is in that pitch black van? He’s driven by a solemn duty Sworn to observe and detect Who’s that sentry in the underpass? Who keeps track on the underclass? He takes notes of how uneasy you feel The fear of the watchman is real Where do you go and where do you hide? Look at that box, what dwells inside? Faces reflect in a camera lens Where is the next offense? Mirror mirror on the wall He has been behind them all And tell me: What did the watchman see on that CCTV? What’s that horrible stench of decay? The watchman knows but he won’t say Whatever takes place behind that bolted door The watchman has seen it before That secret place, your last resort is already covered in the watchman’s report Remember, he may or may not interfere The watchman is not really here Possible informers on every corner No one evades the nightly raids Who is an ally? Who is a warner? Anonymous features, hats and shades Everybody’s a potential narc Listening for footsteps in the streets in the dark A silence so loud, you stand out in the crowd The truth unfurled, they broke the world What’s your story? What’s your crime? Are you prepared to do your time? Victim of a ruthless system Souls to be sold for a dime What’s that horrid, distant sound? Muffled laughs from the underground Glowing eyes, a formless shape You know there is no escape They will tell who is guilty with a single glance And have your confession on tape in advance Forget to appeal to this corporate ideal Might makes right, every secret’s revealed The present is frail and the future’s for sale Repress that blackmail, never turn tail Society’s baleful, bleak and pale But the fear of the watchman The fear of the watchman Never lay off the despair, so beware Just learn from this tale Let the fear of the watchman prevail

Step up! Let’s go! Take cover, she’s ready to blow Atten-hut! About-face! Do a barrel roll! Return to base March! Halt! Attention and hail! Spread them out Let us smash them in detail Left! Right! Attack and assail! Nobody stays quiet on the Western front tail Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks! Prepare! Beware! Lascivious targets right in my cross hair Fanfare! Sperm warfare! Let’s get carnal, no flesh shall be spared Hardcore! The weight of the junk No escape from the heat of the spunk I’m in charge! Barge! Let’s settle the score Make no difference between sex and war Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks! Gun smoke, shrapnel, a throbbing libido Tubes are lubed for the jizz torpedo For every probe there’s an empty socket Balls to the pawls, just grease it and fuck it Kneel to the steel and we’ll throw you a bone Carpet bombing with testosterone Salute every hard on, a call to arms This is my klaxon, sound the alarms Feel my ramrod charging your gate Sharp nails clawing my armour plate Total destruction, the art of seduction Take aim and ejaculate Flank with the tank, live up to your rank Shoot with you love gun, right at point blank Always the hero, collect your medallion Make way for the Beast Battalion Reload! Explode! Gape wide, I’m dropping my load Pole! Hole! I’m on a roll and totally out of control Gung ho! The thrill of the hunt Get to the combat, the chase for the cunt Onslaught! Release the brigade A mission to raid and get laid Steel-clad erections protecting the nation Strength through the power of fornication Bullets and bombshells Grenades to be hurled A cumshot heard around the world Beat and defeat Watch out for the mines Penetrate the defensive lines Swords for the hordes Every member deployed Cherish the joy to destroy Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks! Dicks in tanks!

I am the herald of discord I am the bringer of peace I am the harbinger of truth I am that strange radioactive phenomenon I am the spike protein of the Omicron The eldritch horror under the Pentagon I’m a microfilm, I’m a poisonous dart I’m the knife in your back and the slug to your heart I’m the torpedo that caused your ships to sink I’m the tickling sensation of that sudden necrolysis The start and the end of the missile crisis I am the Novichok in your drink So, the world went crazy and it aims for the end of humanity An extinction event of a certain degree But what is in it for you and me? I am the bug in your office I am the ears in your walls I am the stranger outside your door I am a symbol of power I am an unholy pact I am that freak on the upper floor You! Can you see through smoke and mirrors? Can you feel the forces behind? You! Can you sleep through the fear and terror? Can you really stay non aligned? So much coldness in store The penultimate war All we want is to embrace the stars above We’re just missing the space race We sing for peace and love I am the one with the gun in my hand I’m the provider of contraband I’m the hidden explosive waiting for your command I am the caterpillar tracks in the sand in the distant remains of a foreign land I’m a secret document, a clandestine plan How do you know how to pick a side? I spy spy spy with my little cybernetic eyes Now I’m feeling classified You run for cover in the temple of lies Setting up camp in the eye of the storm The war is cold but the heart is warm A lust to combust, revolution’s the norm Autocrat, kompromat Ha ha ha, coup d’état Entropy! Come to me! All we want is to embrace the stars above We’re just missing the space race We sing for peace and love We are the nails in your coffin We are a forbidden thought We are the seers of the past We are the total of nothing We are the value of naught We are the constants that never last We praise every misfit iconoclast We dance to an ancient beat We are the bad conscience of the earth We travel the paradoxal multiverse We mock the global elite We thrive on joy and immortal mirth Yeah!
