lyrics
ANNEALID
They descended in ships we had never seen
Except for in some half-forgotten dream
They seemed to know each one of our names
They began speaking to us telepathically
ELDER ANNEALID
Dearest Annealids, we've heard your call
We've come to stop the Earthmen, once and for all
Remember this day, now that you've seen
The confusion, the terror upon their faces
By their depravity
People of Earth, listen to us now
Your reaping will cease, we've destroyed your plow
We've captured your Commander, he is now our prisoner
You are outnumbered, your firepower rendered inferior
We hail from the Galaxy's most powerful nation
We've heard the call of our distant relations
We used this planet for incubation
While we left to build our vast civilizations
We've come for our children!
The children you've stolen!
We've come for our children!
To our future beholden!
You tried to kill them
You tried to skin them
Our Annealid children
Helpless
Now the tables have turned upon their captors
We have saved them all from the reaper's scythe
We have seen all we need to see
Primitive society
Dominating lesser beings
We have seen all we need to see
Man’s inhumanity
Satisfying your own needs
COMMANDER
How were we to know?
Your children seem as beasts of burden to men
And if I thought that it could save our species
I'd do it all over again
Now we leave the humans to their fate
Reduced their numbers to eliminate
Left them helpless in this sorry state
No God left to save them, it’s too late
Their fleet destroyed, their tech erased
Crawling, pleading, dying, no sympathy
There is only one we wish to save…
COMMANDER
You must be joking!
What could you possibly gain from amnestying this duplicitous bitch?
Do with me what thou wilt, but if you keep this wretch
It's clear to me that tech or not
There's still no curing the plight of fools
Do you think she can be loyal even when she turned her back on her own kind?
If you think she won’t be trouble, then it seems you're even greater fools than I
You may have bested me here today, creature, and savaged my battalions
But we have a saying back here on Earth...
Life finds a way...
SCIENTIST
I cut you apart
Did as I was told
I don't deserve mercy
Human hearts are cold
I accept my fate
I’ll go without a fight
At least I’ll die knowing
I tried to do what was right…
(To be continued…)

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
As scalding as hot lava, the latest from French group Non Serviam collides black metal brutality with industrial grind. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
