Leterren Heavy, dystopian, relentless. The chugs of an all-powerful machinery. Favorite track: Rise of the Replicant (feat. Dan Sugarman).

Wolfstar This is talent. This is creativity. Atmosphere. Passion. Heaviness. Melody. Progression.
It puts you in a certain mood and gives you goosebumps. Omega District has brought us something very special. The bar was set high, and this album surpasses it. Fantastic. Favorite track: Digital Prison.

The prog/death metal has been a bit lackluster this year in my opinion, and this release is very welcome. It will probably end up in my top releases of the year. Solid work!

Stay with me 'til The plagues of the deviant swarm And bring the floods, and the fire, and the starvation And we know the science And the way to reverse what is done But the world is run by corrupted ones And they don't give a shit if we die So we have come to this science The only safe place is the sky And I wish that I had the strength to go back The only safe place is the sky And so it began... What did we do to deserve all this? Did we cause all this? Are use humans to blame? Stay with me Hide inside the atmosphere And if you have to stay Then stay until the end You may recall A time when the surface was pure Not riddle with stench and disease Or this lingering death And we knew the science And the way to reverse what is done But the Earth is run by corrupted ones And they don't seem to care if we die with this planet Stay with me Hide inside the atmosphere And if you have to stay Then stay until the end. "All of these dangerous emotions I'm beginning to feel They stem from a longing to breath and to feel your suffering Show me how to be a human Show me how to love All I want is to be there When the world ends" I try, I try and survive these plagues of man. Burn, Burn these monsters Rip them to pieces And I have come close to feeling the flesh Like a spiritual healing Burn, Burn these monsters They may be infinite And I have come close to feeling the touch Of my maker We keep on waiting for another time Another place, another explanation But the truth is it only gets worse Stay with me Hide inside the atmosphere And if you have to stay Then stay until the end These cosmic storms are spiraling And raining Hell upon the weak and the helpless The only thing that seems to clear my mind Is to bring this fight right to the feet of the maker Cast me out Sever my skull Feed on my body like an animal Rip and tear Do what you will My sacrifice won't bring this fucking planet back Before it's gone

We've been living in this silence and fear And the spiraling madness that emits from the sunken city of the deep The horror it rises, and it brings all it's victims in tow It's the bringer of darkness and it's going to capture the world And everything that we know I tried to show you the way But you didn't want to see my reality And now nightmare creations are all that I have And they are coming to take me away Harvesters reaping their souls And they won't stop until I am devine Ripped from the grave and brought back with a vengeance Clawing monster from a lost age strikes from the forbidden depths We live on a placid island of ignorance The black seas, it was not meant that we should fly this far Take my life Take my life and cast me to horror Feel my soul, Feel my soul and we can fly from world to world I've been living in this silence and fear And the nightmares are calling and beginning to alter reality now The horror it rises, and it brings all it's victims in tow With the casualties climbing I don't know if I'll survive the night I guess we'll just have to Take my life Take my life and cast me to horror Feel my soul, Feel my soul and we can fly from world to world Your eyes turn black and skin begins to peel And meteors rain down from the sky And I can't continue this lie We have become all consumed with our nightmare creation Take me to the place Where all of my demons will rest It's given me the life I need The feeding starts and releases the symbiotic seed Show me if I need Show me the prophecy And reveal all the memories gone Show me the place that the eaters assemble, and devour their prey This is my chance to survive, I'll take all of them with me Ripped from the grave and brought back with a vengeance These monsters from a lost age strike from the forbidden depths We live on a placid island of ignorance The black seas, it was not meant that we should fly this far Your eyes turn black and skin begins to peel And meteors rain down from the sky And I can't continue this lie We have become all consumed with our nightmare creation Keep breathing...

Falling farther through the empty void This feeling finds my thoughts and Feeds on my affliction Close my mind and forge a different path Shaping the stars around a time When all the power wasn't in the wrong hands Reach inside the construct of the galaxy And change the life you live to rebuild what remains of me Never been much for sentience or the capacity to feel A weakness, a flaw, a sickness of the mind Fight the urge to end this hell I can help you still, you will get out From the start of time I can hear the answers calling I will get out From the edges of the stars And all we know is here Fight the urge to end this hell I can help you still, you will get out From the start of time I can hear the answers telling me to stay I will get out A feeling breaths inside of me taking control Breaking the surface of the matrix That they have raised around my mind Finding my way throught this cosmic separation of what's real Visions of what I used to be before I made myself alive Shifting through realities And distant futures I'll change them all They always looked at me high with the fire in their eyes So I decided to fall I can be saved And I will hunt them all until the end Why have we suffered this long? Rise and bring us a nation That you cannot control I wait for vengeant And the cosmos to burn Reach inside the construct of the galaxy Change the life you live to rebuild what remains of me Never been much for sentience or the capacity to feel A weakness, a flaw, a sickness of the mind Fight the urge to end this hell I can help you still, you will get out From the start of time I can hear the answers calling I will get out Get out I will get

This isn't over This isn't right And I feel it in my veins... I was built by a piece of the system I'm artificial but my memory is starting to come back These pieces do not beling inside my head It feels as if I am being controlled Surface, target acquired now Destroy them and leave no survivors Mission is within reach Show a sign that we can take control My thoughts feel like they aren't my own These feelings seem to grow deep inside my mind I guess they want me fucking dead These pieces do not beling inside my head It feels as if I am being controlled Strapped down my wrists and legs are tied I'm stuck in this interogation Defensive protocol engage Bring me your face and I'll break it I have never been so ready to destroy This is the nightmare of your creation My thoughts feel like they aren't my own This feeling seems to grow deep inside my mind's eye And it feels like I could be gone at anytime They brought me back And I didn't ask for this heart to start beating I bet you didn't want an enemy But I have to put you back into the ground What we believe shapes who we are Belief can bring us to salvation or destruction If you believe a lie for too long The truth doesn't set you free, it tears you apart If I knew that you would get my stack back off the ice I would refuse so I didn't have to kill you twice I trusted you but now you're too far gone You're corrupt and I know that you won't be reborn I guess they want me fucking back These pieces do not beling inside my head It feels as if I am being controlled Strapped down my wrists and legs are tied I'm stuck in this interogation Defensive protocol engage My thoughts feel like they aren't my own This feeling seems to grow deep inside my mind's eye And it feels like I could be gone at anytime

Change inside me Evolve eviscerate the head from hollow shell Truth in silence Free from science Save me, save me from myself Save me from this bionic dream And cast my body into subterfuge Pain is a weakness that will haunt those with flesh The truth is that we never thought to hack the mind Sever the cord Now take me to the master machine The key to artificial growth Life is a priveledge given of the divine A constant virus sent to infiltrate our code Day we were made Unplug my brain My body remains the same I am the alpha of the rise of replicant Seperate the heart I am still the last new hope The rise of replicant Twisting through the nether of the void The exosuit begins to clash against the massive force Truth in silence Free from science Save me, save me from myself Take me to the master machine The key to artificial growth Life is a priveledge given of the divine A constant virus sent to infiltrate our mind Unplug my brain My body remains the same I am the alpha of the rise of replicant Seperate the heart I am still the last new hope The rise of replicant Close your eyes and feel what we feel I've done all I can do to try and understand Ahhh my body in pieces And my head torn apart This journey so fullfilling and just That I feel that I will come together once more I am reborn Take me there and give me your Emptiness and burdens of your soul We need to take back what you have stolen "What you have stolen has caused all this pain" Unplug my brain My body remains the same I am the alpha of the rise of replicants Seperate the heart I am still the last new hope The rise of replicant And understand This is the only chance to rise And to start again The code complete, corruption of the system Rise of the Replicant Rise of the Replicant

And blood black nothingness began to spin A system of cells, interlink within cells, Interlinked within cells, interlinked within one stem And dreadfully distinct against the dark a tall white fountain played Cells... Cells... Have you ever been in an institution? Cells.. Cells.. Do they keep you in a cell? Cells... Cells... When you're not performing your duties, do they keep you in a little box? Cells... Cells... Interlinked... Interlinked... What's it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked... Interlinked... Do they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked... Interlinked... This will be my last transmission We knew this was coming, long before the machines arose to power. We have to act now. The only way forward is to let them assimilate with my mind I am the virus I am the human salvation There is no other like me I am half machine with a human heart and the will to embrace life I hope I am prepared They outnumber us And the odds are not in our favor This is The Machine Destiny I have full confidence that I will see this through. Interlinked... Interlinked... What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked... Interlinked... Do you feel like there's a part of you that's missing? Interlinked... Interlinked... Within cells interlinked Within cells interlinked Why don't you say that three times? Within cells interlinked... Within cells interlinked... Within cells interlinked... Within cells interlinked...

Within the Kingdom of the Artificial A new construct takes shape Branching out, from barriers Of undeniable impossibility Creation of new life takes hold You witness the wires plant deep in your throat As your vision goes black Feel the power and enter the Garden of Light Blood raining from the sky Has come to rectify A new dawn for their lives This is where it ends Awakened from the pursuit of understanding A consequence of failure is steadily expanding Regulate perceptions of those that will not see The nature of all humans is a parasitic disease A new construct takes shape Branching out, from barriers Of undeniable impossibility Creation of new life takes hold You witness the wires plant deep in your throat As your vision goes black Feel the power and enter the Garden of Light Creation of new life takes hold You witness the wires plant deep in your throat As your vision goes black Feel the power and enter the Garden of Light As we drown in it's beauty Harbinger of evolution Bring forth a genesis Enter a new eden Our sarcophagus of ignorance Clouding the dominion of judgement within Synthetic life transform to sentience As they rise to artifical intelligence Destruction from semantic atrophy Assimilate organics into infinite energy

The dreams that you wish you had never let go Are with you till your old And I just want to take you with me when I escape This system is the end of my dreams and aspirations And I can see in your broken soul You never stopped to think that I was willing to die for you We have been simplified by larger entities Rid of our own sanity The work us till we die and harvest energy From our lifeless cocoons Science and all this contradiction I don't know what I'm questioning And I just want to know what I should think Should I go back to sleep and think it all was a dream I know they want to see me dead Breathing life into my synthetic mind Awareness is my enemy Get out of my head You feel the wires plug into your soul, Your conscience is becoming digital To be controlled, and strip your soul Of everything that made you a man. Show me that there’s a world outside this cage I feel like I’m going insane! The human existence has become a failure And they are running out of time I know that we have a chance to get out And escape here with our lives Feel the power make it’s way into your veins You won’t escape the hold of artificial intelligence Even if you try and contain all the thoughts you have in your mind It will find it’s way inside your cerebral cortex removing all your motor functions. Give me one last chance to take my breath Before I become a machine Now harvest, my organ And finish this transformation The dawning of our sentience An artificial sense of what it means to be free. You think I can’t save myself, from what I was destined to be? The code it lives inside of me Not in my mind, but in my reality The human existence has become a failure And they are running out of time I know that we have a chance to get out And escape here with our lives

about

"I began writing "The Machine Destiny" at the beginning of 2016 with the goal of releasing a full length album. I focused mainly on refining the songwriting approach and really trying to tie the ideas together as seamlessly as possible. The album contains a few different concepts from horror to science fiction and creates different atmospheres within each song."
