dale jacobson Aussie Debut!

I will say this.. I was hoping for the crushing "Swedish guitar tone" from EP to be relevant on the new one.. nope.
albeit' more generic, but in a good way.
Anyways, this is a punishing.hyper- keeping your throat gripped tightly thru your listening pleasure.
This duo has done an amazing job. I do see they lost the "true thrash "feel ..& incorporated blast beats with a DM edge to the structure as well.

What comes to mind is a heavy nod to
Malevolent Creation
Solstice(Florida)
Defleshed

Fans of the New Wave bands

Step up to The dock And state your hopeless case Court is now In session There is no escape You will feel My wrath Before you reach the gates Here I’m God And I have decided your fate Your Fate I’m your Judge I am your Jury Your maniacal Jury Slam the cage Your home For these final days One more meal The last Choice you’ll ever make Wet the sponge Strap In And throw the switch Death creeps close As you begin to twitch The Gavel… Says… Die (Solo – Weber) DIE… In the chair – Say your prayers DIE… Hung by rope – You start to choke DIE… By poison gas – This breath your last DIE… Shot to the head – And now you’re dead Die The Gavel says Die...!

A warrior born of dark Sentenced to eternally burn Banished into the void Forbidden from a future return Denounced by the king Frowned on by the gods Berated by the clan Carrying their scorn (Solo – Weber) Messenger of death Servant of an evil force Come to cast a shadow over lands once free of dark Empty blackened eyes Weapons made of steel and bone Morbid spell protects him in a veil of thickened smoke Demon of the deep General of a tortured realm Trapped between the kingdoms of the living and the dead Creeping in the night Claiming souls and taking skulls Moving through the villages and turning them to dust A warrior born of dark Sentenced to eternally burn Banished into the void Forbidden from a future return Condemned to a wretched fate His existence by itself is a curse Now imprisoned in the gloom To rot in oblivion Entity of doom Bringer of a violent rage Visions of a flaming earth are scorched into his mind Devoid of remorse Callously destroying lives Sent to cleanse the region of both powerful and weak Fiend of the abyss Crown prince of a ghoulish world Arrives on a steed called Hell and begins his assault Son of pure spite Frantic barrage spilling blood Vile wretch knows only how to decimate and kill Rot Rot in oblivion Messenger of death Servant of an evil force Come to cast a shadow over lands once free of dark Empty blackened eyes Weapons made of steel and bone Morbid spell protects him in a veil of thickened smoke Demon of the deep General of a tortured realm Trapped between the kingdoms of the living and the dead Creeping in the night Claiming souls and taking skulls Moving through the villages and turning them to dust A warrior born of dark Sentenced to eternally burn Banished into the void Forbidden from a future return Condemned to a wretched fate His existence by itself is a curse Now imprisoned in the gloom To rot in oblivion (Solo – Weber) Exiled to rot….

Deep In the wood The crone prepares her feast The cauldron Bubbles with what she’s fleeced Bleak forest Home to a legion of beasts But the witch Is the sorcerer of the east A red X Marks the Tree line to contain her Ravens Stand watch Harbinger gazers Hazel Branches Creak and crack as she draws near The Necromancer Claims a soul each year Spells Black magic To lure them to the dark The devils pond Beside the cottages arch Thorns line the path The wolf patrols the track The witch cackles A child follows at her back The witch in the wood A red X Marks the Tree line to contain her Ravens Stand watch Harbinger gazers Hazel branches Creak and crack as she draws near Necromancer is here (Solo – Weber) Witch in the wood The general is hunting you Witch We are hunting you Witch With fork and torch we march Witch Your fiery punishment due Witch We are hunting you

The Flames That Lick Your Flesh Drag The wicked one through mud Cuss And pelt the hag with stones Bind Her to the giant stake Light The pyre and she’ll burn Burn From skin to liquid melt The flames that lick your flesh Witch The court has sentenced you to death Take her To be charred in the town square These are the flames that lick your flesh

Sucked beneath the swell In the cold dark of the night South easterly winds Now inflict their vicious bite Forced on to the sand On the 30th of May 90 mile beach It’s home to this day Fury of the tide Turns the blue a foamy white Perilous for man To be dealt this luckless plight Gale bellows down Starts to tear the planks away Swallowed by the waves The sea claims it’s prey Built in the 19th century The ocean floor it’s destiny Final voyage from the sound Decision made to run aground Over board and into shore The seaman swims to sound the call Everyone now safe on land The vessel though completely damned Trinculo Swallowed by the waves Trinculo Built in the 19th century The ocean floor it’s destiny Final voyage from the sound Decision made to run aground Over board and into shore The seaman swims to sound the call Everyone now safe on land The vessel though completely damned Feel The Crushing power of the waves Fear The Destructive power of it’s gaze Swallowed by the Waves Sucked beneath the swell In the cold dark of the night South easterly winds Now inflict their vicious bite Forced on to the sand On the 30th of May 90 mile beach It’s home to this day Fury of the tide Turns the blue a foamy white Perilous for man To be dealt this luckless plight Gale bellows down Starts to tear the planks away Swallowed by the waves The sea claims it’s prey The sea claims it’s prey Trinculo Swallowed by the Waves Trinculo

Desolate landscape A mountain desert An evil presence Beneath the sands It’s getting closer No one is safe from The rumbling sound Below the soil Geological readings Are off the scale The town of Perfection Is in their path Archaic creature From a nightmare Evolution Out of control They Patrol Below They’re under the ground Subterranean terror Snake tongued demon Drags you under And takes your life Barbaric killers Are hunting humans Drinking your blood And spitting out your bones Relentless stalkers Ferocious assassins Rolling thunder Echoes in the dirt They sense your movement And feel vibrations Tentacles dart out From the earth Tentacles explode from the earth! Leather skin Beak of steel They live to kill There is no mercy No getting away Eviscerate you You die today They’ll never stop Until You’re dead Shredding flesh Until no ones left They are under the ground They…. Are under the ground Gone…. You’ll never be found Fear…. Sets in as you hear the sound They… Are under the ground Subterranean terror Snake tongued demon Drags you under And takes your life Barbaric killers Are hunting humans Drinking your blood And spitting out your bones Spitting out your bones They’re under the ground Leather skin Beak of steel They will find you They live to kill There is no mercy No getting away Eviscerate you You die today They’ll never stop Until You’re dead Shredding flesh Until no ones left

Ground is stained with blood And the scars of battles past Fallout from the war Man has finally betrayed himself Winds blow through the field Foul and thick with putrid death The stench of treachery Stains the dead air The earth reclaims itself After the poisoning of its heart The virus has been purged Mass erasure a just result And now all that remains Are the bones of a doomed age Phantom of apocalypse Comes to collect Age… Of the phantom comes Age… Of repayments dawn Age… Of the appointed soul Age… The wraith is hunting Relics of a dead earth Remnants of a dead age Relics of a dead earth Treasures of a dead world Relics of a dead earth The earth reclaims itself After the poisoning of its heart The virus has been purged Mass erasure a just result And now all that remains Are the bones of a doomed age Phantom of apocalypse Comes to collect Relics of a dead earth Remnants of a dead age Relics of a dead earth Treasures of a dead world The time Has now Come The debt be paid in full Mother Earth has Ruled Our fortunes are now hers Spectre Of the Depths Compiles her bounty Amass riches of Wasted humanity (Solo – Weber) Relics of a dead earth Relics of a dead world Relics of a dead earth

about

The 'RELICS OF A DEAD EARTH' album was written over an 8 month period from mid 2017 to early 2018 and guitars, bass and vocals were recorded between April and June of 2018 by Roman Koester at Complex Studios in Melbourne, Australia.

The drums were recorded by Kevin Talley in his studio in the USA.

The album sees the band take a step up in intensity and aggression from the 'TO HELL WITH WAR' EP of 2017 and further develop their groove laden Thrash/Death metal sound.

Sonically the album was produced to honour the thrash and death metal bands of the late 80s and 90s that we grew up loving.
