Salami Dick Death I came for the fretless bass but stayed for everything else.

High tier Tech Death with extended range instruments. The songwriting is certainly captivating & fun which is about all you need.
The majority of the album is dark & crushing riffs but amongst the darkness there are truly progressive moments in form & flavor. Even a couple of 90s Floridian Death Metal vibes.
Drool worthy bass solos & Tech riffs aplenty sway in harmony with super low end and palm muted guitars.

Cosmic Dawn 05:53
Breath The only involuntary known Sight The never ending darkness is shown Peeled back the curtain That hides all to be known Real or all projected Are we stolen light As the stars awaken I'm shown the sources As the planets align to form The Belts of Existence What has felt this before A piece of this we adore Weightless and suspended Calling to the nothing I have spoiled the ending All of my deleted contacts Never were there Blink if you can't breath I am realizing That I am made of nothing Degrading Was this my final thought Transmitting my energy and pain This shall level me on the astral plane As I fly effortless and free The holy mother I will bow to thee Into the Cosmic Dawn Letting go of what I held on Into another realm Peeled back the curtain That hides all to be known Real or all projected Are we stolen light Screaming But there's no sound in space Suffocating As I review this past phase A deconstruct of molecules DNA As I slowly start to fade As the stars awaken I'm shown the sources As the planets align to form The Belts of Existence Getting by On the backs of gravity and atmosphere Soon to be engulfed by solar winds This melting planet has surely met its end The riddance of water our thirst unquenched Our liquid bodies shall be the only fluid left Into the Cosmic Dawn Letting go of what I held on A smoldering ash is all that's left Our system void in this space As the stars awaken

Crypts 04:29
Hanging on forever Pieces put together Time heals all wounds Fading fast fell through Based on certain time constraints Your service is canceled You've been replaced Reaching days end Still no sign Except a fleeting thought 
I have seen you around Inside conscious fog I’m making progress These syncing programs Putting me on a path To light and sound I do know this gets worse Buried in the dirt This world passes us by No more thoughts arise Soon to be separated from the light Sealed and locked Oxygen has stopped Comfort lost Sealed and locked Oxygen has stopped Now I sit across Locked into No more hue Soon to be separated from the light End in wait Disabled by fate Wasting away Seeking truth These visions are not new Ive seen a few Waiting on the storm Cast into the deep Due to certain time constraints Your service is canceled On and on
 Generations voicing their song Those notes have been lost forevermore Inputs never ending I start stabbing my skull I've known from beginning The self inflicted death is my call

Dimensions 05:51
I'm just a passer by 
Forward bound by this timeline
 Seeing just one illusion of life
 Traveling light from the sun to the earth Providing a shelter For this fragile spirit Prove to me there is more Through an open door I shall lose my self Melting through the floor World upside-down 
Prisoned by this faith To one which is many 
Taught by ones who don’t know Is this the only way
 To keep us locked on this plain Senses hold tight 
Story rewrites Please define your coordinates This is a life well spent These portals They do surround us We are blind to see These portals They will astound us
 We are blind to see 
 Vacuum sealed on this dying world Cut off from the stream If we could get away from here In only but our dreams Questions that we have Answers they will keep Through an open door I shall lose my self Melting through the floor World upside-down
 Prisoned by this faith To one which is many
 Taught by ones who don’t know Different versions of me Stare into my eyes Duplicating worlds Built in disguise 
We are the ones Who look to the skies Different versions of me Stare into my eyes Please define your coordinates This is a life well spent These portals They do surround us We are blind to see These portals They will astound us
 We are blind to see This simulation is one of many Expanding - everlasting - infinity of realms Thoughts are keys To unlock seams Expanding - everlasting - infinity of realms Different versions of me Stare into my eyes Duplicating worlds Built in disguise

Incinerator 04:03
Death brings light 
Razors edge cutting clean
 Displacement of everything
 Awakened by the breath of pure evil 
No memories I possess That can equate to this Winds of deception Eroding away 
Loss of possession Erecting to decay Searing off the flesh of its victims 
With mouths agape we are petrified Endless reign of terror We are bits and scraps to this appetite Incinerator flashes Stopping growth of life Erasing 
Gone Still ash Recycle of flesh Prayers for the rains They've fallen on deaf ears Eyes peering to the gods Red ash fills up the skies Locked in this furnace Surrounded by beastly heat The dancing trails of fire
 Race down the spines of peaks Blinded, cursed and tethered We will surely combust Horrible wretched endeavor Entrusted to become dust Possessed by fear As the reaper surrounds me Flying away so the wind will not find me
 I'm at the end of my rope Organs boil to a stew Winds of deception Spreading like disease
 To my perception
 A cleansing has been made Lifeless habitat lies sterile The galaxy has plans for this An underlying concept Rejecting defective lifeforms Incinerator flashes Stopping growth of life Erasing
 Gone Still ash Recycle of flesh

Unlocking the stored The stored memories of my soul 
Intertwining DNA
 As I lay
 Longer I will stay
 The forcefield that surrounds this 
It must be broken to see through
 Faces of the past and present seem to haunt me But this is where I come from
 My mind and time have intertwined First I was there now I'm here
 Spirit is alive Swiftly I awake
 Reality is flawed Distorted faces
 Swiftly I awake
 Reality is flawed Whispers like screams So hard not to listen Inanimate objects Coming to life Life is based on fear
 Here there might be silence 
Drifting off as my pupils Return to the back of my skull I have found peace in knowing I belong to the Earth Knowing I belong This blessing it must be
 Showing me plenty 
Our minds do get locked in transit But end up seeking elsewhere This journey I will try to keep
 For this realm I've got to peak Forever looking bleak
 Surrender thee But this is where I come from My mind and time have intertwined First I was there now I'm here
 Spirit is alive Swiftly I awake Reality is flawed Distorted faces Swiftly I awake 
Reality is flawed Whispers like screams So hard not to listen Inanimate objects Coming to life I have seen the light Fear is an idea Caught adrift in the mist At peace when I rot Life is based on fear
 Here there might be silence
 Drifting off as my pupils Return to the back of my skull I have found peace in knowing I belong to the Earth Knowing I belong There's no turning back now 
I've crossed paths with all seeing eyes They will remember me
 But I won't remember this life 
I know there is better for me out there Alone

Sight - blessed - roaming - being
 What is this gift An empty rift A skill unobtained To see the true nature ruling we must obey
 A sphere unkept we were not meant to lay 
As dry land dissipates as quickly as faith Our place of origin was not to be obtained Searching for the lost 
Were we left here or forgotten
 Must anticipate or participate Knowing all the answers
 Only just to end up late Must anticipate or participate Knowing this meaningless existence Is what we all call fate Those who claim to see They are all liars 
We’ve been left here Asleep in the mire I - can - only - dream 
Awake to see A floating rock Enveloped by sea To wait for death and my last breath make it so 
I'm not equipped the page is ripped eradicate Repenting to a God i’ve never known
 Religion is an arrowhead to penetrate our soul Searching for the lost 
Were we left here or forgotten
 Must anticipate or participate Knowing all the answers
 Only just to end up late
 Must anticipate or participate Knowing this meaningless existence Is what we all call fate 
Tortured souls
 Soon to burn 
Sun has set Into the Earth Shot through the wall Headed for rebirth
 The scum we were
 No longer known Those who claim to see They are all liars We’ve been left here Asleep in the mire

Space Snakes 09:47
Pulling of strings 
These thoughts are not my own 
A known life I thought was untold Etched in stone They know this tale What does my story entail Dreams are glitches in the machine Showing me what I am Under the flesh
 Twisting flash of images Clues to what this really is Never is silence Time only moves on 
Infinite pages to be turned What satisfaction do we yearn Coming to grips Unplug 
Start it over 
Lets start it over 
Soul unsynchronized Sadly Start it over Lets start it over False sense of security It seems impure to me I work for the altered beings They produce what I am seeing Irrelevant memories
 Are just distracting me 
Birth ’til death just for greed Life has become close to me Drifting while it eats away
 In this vat I will decay Lusting for death 
And the afterlife But I am sewn into this Replays will only be relaying in my mind Mistaken 
I did not know this life was taken A charade of screens
 Their method of controlling me My mind on a leash Coming to grips 
Unplug
 Start it over Lets start it over Start it over In a mirage we gaze at the moon Hoping that the light will guide us We are lost with weight of guilt Knowing what we feel is not real The all knowing Future of self Controlling substances Molecular Fading away
 Flesh eating intelligence My reflection is a lie Staring into black Pixilation our salvation Organic material forsaken Produced to procure Such a precious resource Drifting while as it eats away
In this vat I will decay Praying for peace 
But God is a false image Piece of meat for our violent minds
 This lust for power created our simulated lies Mistaken 
I didn’t know this life was taken 
Charade of screens Their method of controlling me My mind on a leash Coming to grips
 Unplug Start it over Let’s start it over
 Soul unsynchronized
 Sadly start it over Let’s start it over
 Hold on to the ones you love Grazed by the soft touch of beauty This grip does slip away
 Rotting flesh or slow decay Not knowing what we have lost Higher of faith Harder the fall Cant go back
 A lost contact 
Fear no more
 Undeniable bliss 
Set back into place
 The place I was meant The place I was meant 
Pulling of strings 
Thoughts are not my own 
A known life I thought was untold Etched in stone They know this tale But what does my story entail
 Will they restart
 Will I depart
 What if this 
Never turns back on Start this over Over start this over now Save me Save me from this malice Take me Take me to the silence Take me Save me from the silence Take me
