The Worming Aegis 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere in the ancient wetlands where primordial man stoked its ravening flame Billions of years of evolutionarily pillar Parasitically extend its mighty hand in promise of eradication of the ones that so sanctioned the end A gruesome foray of vermicular dismay germinating in the cunt of mother earth The mangled shadows of once-man, woman and beast The ripest protoplasm to disease their souls are leased Heaving and writhing, body temperature rising Hair-like tendrils exploring organic fibers Silhouettes of egg sacks trace a pale complexion Complex viscera unraveling And as the sun burrows into the dusk Agonizing afterbirths bursting through their exhausted husks Rehiving Incubating in the gore Gordian labyrinth - a molting septicemia Organ systems imprisoned in crimson silk Minimally functional hotbed of denatured cells Nervous systems are chirally modified Nocireceptors defect with euphoria Orgasms transpire as, what once was pain, becomes desire Suicide fully absent from their starving minds Clouding the dregs of civilization is the vile stench of sex and feculence The sewage of orgies boiling underneath the rising sun Hatching, bursting, bathing in impossible bliss The price of flesh is exposed in this symbiosis The pale blue skies are weeping as the looming winter months sprinkle the withering leaves in an auspice of frost and the cadaverous hosts shake and moan in the cold Ingesting chunks of their purposeless anatomy Sealed in the graves of Gods A promise frozen by the call of Armageddon Preserved in glacier A grim depiction of the meaning of life Aegis of the soil and sea Life and death in vital harmony The delight felt in their terminal moments Like being drowned in a sweet redemption The scourge dissolves and, at last... The tired earth can sleep forever The almighty passion The worming aegis The swarming ageless

The Sixth Stage of Decomposition 04:54
lyrics

Almost poetically Frenetically wretching in egestas Haggard, de-bloating mass of floundering drek One might call it superhuman Resident pathogens emanating from the mouth indicate the commencement of autolysis Curative chambers fastened to the heart and lungs Restoring oxygen misspent by putrefaction Awakening to the cold electrical sting of stimulant compounds envenoming the bloodstream Heart rate accelerating, tissues emaciating Somehow alive after weeks of dissection Ribcage gaped - rotting organs Sharply hewn excess sinews Vomiting desiccation Unable to die Stinking green webs of reticulated integument hardened in place by tropo-fossilized adipose Eternal limbo of sixth-stage decomposition The living laws of nature - an unrelenting ouroboros Phantom pain cleaving deep through necrotic skin Buried alive by the gravity of your skeleton Hollowing sockets arced toward your sickly chassis Unable to tear Despite attempts to discover, through postmortem, somatic source of obscene nature Mysteriously inconclusive, though the larva breeding in the cavity tell a story of similar vanity impulses feeding, hearts beating autonomously dreaming The deepest principle in human nature is delusion So let them have their deathbeds wrought from the rotten wood of Eden This is the vacuity of God and the cursed anthrometastization Immortally decomposing Suicidal chemistry Expressing modes vestigially The great hominal apogee Paragon of putridity A glimpse into what it means to be human To be human

Ephemeral 03:53
lyrics

Hang your head and sew your mouth shut with fear Cower your head as he approaches near Blame yourself for every blow he lands Your body, a canvas for his bloodied hands Your screams will fall upon deaf ears Hide your face Learn your place Never again to see the light of day Always question, “Why me?” To end this life I didn’t choose I find my peace within this noose Not all scars show Not all wounds heal You`ll never really know the pain that I feel "I looked at the stars, and considered how awful it would be for a man to turn his face up to them as he froze to death, and see no help or pity in all the glittering multitude." “I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure, the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies... I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia.” Ghastly fusion of impurity spawns unholy abomination Taking the father`s corporeal form Now the fun can begin... Your screams will fall upon deaf ears Seeping, glistening, exposing the trachea Screeching of metal on the spinal cord Sever the head of the serpentine defiler Sanguinous exchange begets equilibrium

Somehow they managed to dig their graves in the dirt that bore them ...and the seeds that they've sown have fermented and grown Sinking their roots into the decaying earth Nothing so destined to self-destruct So simple in and out Could ever be meaningful So by this crutch of the "humane" and by erroneous faiths Conditioned to regard themselves as preservers The diminishment of nature, order, and life Unassiduous insidious spineless invasive idiots The human animal Hopelessly fallible Destined to deliquesce Powerless nonetheless You terrible creatures however quickly you breed can't overcome what you can't comprehend Your vacuous gods no matter how gilded in gold will rust with the fallout of time Billions look up at the star-soaked skyline they see, in us reflections of their decline The tree of life Once bearing rotten fruit Weighing down its hollow trunk With the horrible weight of man Edacious simple cells Crippled by outrageous pride Hardly individualized Intelligence is the bullet and heartlessness is the gun In the mouth of every man from evil father to son This "humankind" Its shameless way of life like rats racing towards extinction, smiling all the way down Do not mistake us for saviors Hold your children and dry your tears What you thought was invincible Nothing This is not karma This is not fate Artless, cold-blooded primates instinctively inhumane

Inpensi Omnia 03:47
lyrics

Blood has shed for millennia to suppress the avarice apparent in our kind (Conditioned as one) Biologically designed to eradicate oneself from this planet Viscera pays for gold and silver All living beings, a target for evisceration A plague upon the earth, with only one immutable cure Unforgiving divine intervention An insatiable desire for what one has not claimed Controls the populace, and compels to destroy No end in sight, or end to this misery We`ve set a precedent of never-ending corruption in need of immediate fucking death We have come as eternal wardens of the realm of man Tainted, tarnished By the stain of revulsion A romance of insatiable wills Hopeful no more than it is safeguarded A natural disharmony Purposeless, fumbling, and convinced of love In the skies, the cinders ever so rising Muting hopes of heaven's sanctuary Nuclear annihilation won’t remove the cockroaches, they’ll only burrow deeper into their holes They looked up to the sky and the moon wrought its glow from the sunless blankness Just beyond the slate horizon undertaken At the click of a false god's heel We have come as eternal wardens of the realm of man Here to reclaim the gift you`ve taken Tarnished by the stain of revulsion Experience the meaning of eternal torment Slaughter your gods Bastards of Earth Slaughter your gods Gluttonous pigs Winged golden monarchs, one with the universe A blinding spectacle of aureal machinations Embodying the purest forms of energy Punishment to be served to these creatures Pathetic, insolent children of sin The watchers of all living beings on earth Inherit genocide Angelic genocide A beautiful tragedy Kindled by a smouldering immorality The smoke enshrouds at the expense of all Inpensi Omnia

Supernova 04:37
lyrics

Oh, how memories fade, as we fight against the weathering of time. Will the ancient cities, and vibrant horizons of millennia passed, still yet be engraved in the minds of those who proceed us? With all our might we try to best ourselves and conquer new heights Will it all be for nought? Will any of it be remembered? An echo into infinite expanses Breathless in the face of your great chronological finale Standing at the end of time Will you, my friend, be remembered? It is folly to wish to be amongst the stars, forever an omnipotent eye, ensuring that your heart be not lost to oblivion Can I not beg the hourglass to cease it’s unrelenting sands? Or will my voice, like a crashing wave, ripple into an endless sea of deafening silence Will you choke on the cosmic dust, and fade into oblivion? Or like the rays of the sun, spread your comforting warmth, and spring forth new life, into all who feel your gentle embrace? Fear not my brother, you remain in my heart I wish I could peel back the pages of your mind, and uncover the demons that lay beneath So that we, together, could conquer them, and one day stand atop our monuments, as victorious! But your battle was long All soldiers must one day be laid to rest Perhaps, we are looking at it all wrong Yes, of course Maybe it matters not in the futile end, if we are eternal Is it so bad to die when your memory is engraved into every smile, touched by your warmth? Even stars, must one day fade into the dark But let us rejoice in their end; for a supernova is unforgettable It’s majesty would bring tears to the eyes of any man ...and like the last breath of a dying star Your beauty, your warmth… will forever be remembered

"Someone once told me Vertigo Freeway was a deathcore band from “Tuffalo”. That person was wrong. Anyways, I cracked into VF’s self-titled debut this morning and got a chance to take in all of their vibes in one sitting. Funnily enough, these guys list themselves as a blackened death metal band, but I don’t necessarily agree with that either. I can’t say that there’s no black metal or death metal involved in this album, but I also can’t concede to the notion that that’s all Vertigo Freeway are.

VF are a band that seems to pride themselves on a sultry blend of both traditional and modern influences. Vocally, the album is a journey into an extremely versatile range of harsh insanity. Nick King and Alex Gross both do a nice job getting their points across through the shrillest of highs, the deepest of the lows and the most diverse array of mids I’ve heard in awhile.

Guitar wise, and this is not a jab, the band likes to keep things simple, straight forward and in the pocket. Each track throws down a nice arrangement of broken up chug riffs, epic tremolo progressions, nasty, fast chord riffs and decent alternate picked note-y compositions. The guitar work on the album is fun and in your face, while keeping things grounded and heavy. I consider most of the leads to be melodies as opposed to solos, but as a melodic death fan, that’s hardly a complaint.

The rhythm section has no choice but to remain steadfast in a band such as this. The bass and drums are beautifully intertwined to keep the guitars and vocals anchored throughout these epic, heavy songs. There are many points in these songs, where the bass and drums need to drop out with simple chug/tom accents to make room for all the dissonant build-ups VF loves to throw in. That’s where the modern influence seems to slink its way into the fray most often. But almost immediately after, VF will answer the call with a classic BM chord progression or a tasty guitar harmony to counter.

All in all, a very interesting band. I’d only heard snippets months ago at Studio A Recordings during a session, but those hardly did this album justice. It’s a fun listen and we can’t wait for it to drop."
