SanjayK The dynamic nature of the album is intriguing - from brutal riffs and breakdowns to cosmic interludes to classical touches, this album packs a wholesome cerebral feast for any technical death metal fan! Favorite track: Subliminal (feat. Shravan Sridhar).

Telepresence 04:26
Senses stimulated Consciousness re-framed Iterative binaries transmitted From parasite to slave Parallax exploited Three-dimensional field of view Depth perception latency decreased Stereoscopic vision obtained Prototypical, unfalsifiable construct Submissive augmentation Inexplicable drifts Spatial position, manipulated Movement of thought, calculated Logic and reason, implemented In a habituated, synthetic environment [x2] Potential actualization blocked Phobias and fears induced Redundancy protocols activated Optimal collaboration bridged Prototypical, unfalsifiable construct Submissive augmentation Inexplicable drifts

Our future dystopian Our oceans dying Resources depleted Pollution out of control Water, a precious commodity No livestock left to be raised No trees on the horizon A nauseating yellow haze in the air A world crippled by industries Subjugated by the ruling corporations Gated communities for the rich People's subservience incentivised Food severely rationed Recycled human tissue The opiate of the masses The flesh of the underclass Narcotic-like euphoria induced Populations pacified Convinced into cannibalistic practices We know not what we consume We know not what we consume [x2] Large trucks with blades dispose rioting men like waste Voluntary euthanasia run and sponsored by the state [x2]

Demographics analysed and surveyed The susceptible decoded Behavioral patterns mapped Emotions quantised Lateralization of brain function recognized Truth distorted Freudian algorithms initiated Scripted mind control Placebo effect misused Neuromarketing employed Explosion of divergence Repetitive visuals attack Mass presence Neural receptivity controlled Populations desensitised Subliminal persuasions enforced [x2] The illusion of unconstrained choices Freedom compromised Virtual goods incentivised Corporations and demand monopolised Freewill compromised Virtual goods incentivised Corporations and demand monopolised

This isolated system Eternal mathematical substratum Nullified limitations Transformations absolute Immortal, this primal material Differentiated totality Self-sufficient primordial unity Unchanging ouroboros constant Void of ends and beginnings Corporeal quantitative elements integrate The opposites assimilate Perpetual movements imposed Fundamental momentum gathered Oscillations accelerate Intrinsic particles collide Cyclical patterns emerge Series of movements repeat Relative and symmetric exchange Structures self-consistent Ontological processes emerge Computational chaotic paradigms Sustained independent reactions Complete in itself, infinite equations Fractal continuum Harmony obtained Fractal continuum [x2] Behavior subordinated Impetus balanced Explicit final causation revealed [x2] Fundamental momentum gathered Oscillations accelerate Intrinsic particles collide Cyclical patterns emerge

Simulants 05:39
Human cloning commercialised Clones grown as sources Genetically similar organs The templates of the rich Their solution to immortality The products fully conscious Their existence hidden from the outside world Hermetically sealed complex Subsurface utopian facade Surveillance, totalitarian Sanitized and regimented society Controlled by conceptual chains No different than the physical ones in the Cave of Plato Memories implanted Clones conceived through surrogates The elite's insurance policy In this quarantined facility Non-existent individual thought and personal identity State control over education Basic human rights denied Civil liberties unrecognized Complacency encouraged Diet and body conditions regulated Every moment observed and monitored Solitary confinement for skeptics A veritable prisoner bound within his own body Treated as inhuman Satisfaction through conformity Convinced of a past catastrophe They fear a world unseen To the will of a god-surrogate They bend without question

God Complex 04:33
I am one and complete A silent colossal machine Omnipresent entity The primal singularity Limitless whirling vortex Ledger of collective memory Absurd and disenchanted A pure, metaphysical body Iridescent, luminous and formless identity Trans-mutated, manifested, and composed of synergy I am what you are inherent Across the cosmos I tread No ghost in the machine No dogma or no such doctrine [x2] Phenomenalistic, the very definition of sentience Self-aware and conscious Simultaneous sapient existence Unambiguous postulated origin This pantheistic reality A metacognistic entity I am the very fabric of the universe I contain all of space and time [x2]

Subatomic, molecular materials manipulated Nanomachines weaponised Destabilizing agents abused Mutations induced Mechanosynthetic fabrication Unregulated systems employed Autonomous AI initiated Programs run amok Uncontrolled, rapidly they spread Self-replicating they multiply [x2] Everything carbon-based, they devour Exponential critical mass reached Outweigh earth within days, they will Exponential critical mass reached [x2] Sentience acquired Computing power raised [x2] Homo sapiens targeted Amino acids attacked Immune systems neutralized [x2] Pushed to the brink of extinction, slowly we rot Retaliation in futility Pushed to the brink of extinction, we slowly rot Retaliation in futility Leaving our mere shadows in their wake All of life obliterated The end of days

about

Imagine a dystopian future where totalitarian regimes run a polluted and overpopulated earth suffering from poverty and unemployment, a world where all housing is dilapidated and food is severely scarce, where fully sentient clones are grown to serve as organ banks for the rich and powerful, where corporations have devised fail-safe procedures to control your mind and convince you to buy things you do not need...

With lyrical themes inspired by '70s dystopian, sci-fi and horror films like Soylent Green, THX 1138 and Parts: The Clonus Horror, Bangalore/Delhi-based metal band Ironic Reversal present: CLONUS.
