A lone man stands at the urinal

Mother of two smokes a joint at the funeral

Grandfather buries his face into his hands

A child is heard crying but it fades into noise

Concrete monuments shadow the infant

Barely learned to walk before the sun

Burst into the sky like a flower of death

A machine deviced by man to erase man

A virus in the collective mind

Trojan horse, a gift from the past for the future

Unknowns

Departed, as are we all

Extinct as are we all

A couple, a picnic basket, a cooled bottle and a cake

Dog wagging its tail fetching a ball

Mime seeking his way out of glass prison

One flash and the ground is black

The trees like torches

Skin melts like plastic and wax

Eyes boil like eggs, hair scorched and blood starts to drip

Arms raised like an embrace

Contorted by shrinking flesh

Departed, as are we all

Extinct as are we all

Shadow imprints in the curb

A picture captured in time

As are we all

ABOUT THIS TRACK

All of it is done by ourselves. The only thing that is not exactly home brew is the mastering, for which we used LANDR mastering. We are working on a budget, so we have to really get creative with solutions and we feel we achieved the sound we were looking for. It is not the hyper overblown loudness war winning turbolimited brickwall. It is more old school, like we are as musicians as well. You can crank up the volume, there is headroom for that.

The song itself is sort of a cinematic glimpse into devastation. At one moment you are doing mundane shit and the next you are a vaporized smear of scorched atoms in a concrete wall.

We used Aztec Death Whistle on the track to bring in this strange ancient feel of harrowing fate that befell a majestic and brutal nation. Dont know about others but for me it somehow haunted the track, gave it this disturbing spirit.
