GeN2Mo This is an album maneuvering so expertly between devious noisy Industrial Metal and the added Progressive and melodic appeal of Modern Metal I can't help but be drawn to it.
It may sound a bit rough around the edges here and there but given its formula, that isn't even all that detrimental to the overall atmosphere. Favorite track: Termination Sequence.

Breach the screens Merge with spleen Turning to purge the scene Break the self And make this hell Invigorate your human shell Study the pain The cerebral vein Machinate the optimum strain Condition the blade Shedding dead skin Exposing the core - here comes the engine Bite the spasm Gaining traction Stronger stature Bolstered by the Strain reactor Strain reactor Strain reactor Strain reactor Will to power Pulsates louder New conjuncture Patterned by the Strain reactor Strain reactor Strain reactor Strain reactor The screens have been breached The turmoil has been seized The screens have been breached The turmoil has been seized Crawl - rise - fall - crawl Rise - fall - crawl - RISE

Artifex 05:33
Natural selection, rational perfection Bred to excel in the face of nothing Catalyst of movement, designer of riches Each input expands the potential Construct the ARTIFEX Construct the ARTIFEX Construct the ARTIFEX Construct the ARTIFEX Self-reciprocating system of thought Ethical egoist - hated protagonist Gazing through blue-filtered layers of logic Discipline forged in a wasted world Primal responses - violent inertia Like a diseased dog at gunpoint Pathological traits from degenerate morals Dictate the hater against the creator Bleed for none And crave no blood Lest taken from Retrieve with authority

Sub-Humanist 04:30
The sickness of the flesh Is your asset for survival The colony of worms Your self protectorate This is the law of the leech Siphon modus, tunneling deep Permitted to a chronic rape Of the hand that feeds The weakened intellect Is your shelter from correction The sound of mastication Your only voice of reason This is the law of the leech Siphon modus, tunneling deep Submitted to a constant chase On your hands and knees Faded is all cognition Acting on basic impulse Reproducing sloth transmitter Abhorrent, reeking fuck of scum It will eat itself It will grind its bones away Grafted to this death row cell That which you guard so fiercely A bionetwork for reversion Cultivate the stagnant genome Faded is all cognition Acting on basic impulse Reproducing sloth transmitter Abhorrent, reeking fuck of scum It will suffocate In its own corrupted space Juxtaposed with peers To minimize own failure Proportional with this Is mediocrity

Overman 04:44
Mutually exclusive, total in sum Neural components at critical mass Evolutionary quantum leap Instigated by a newborn god entity Logarithmic transition of linear time Renders the next moment predefined What is learned encrypted beyond A technological event horizon Overman - never expected Overman - never known Overman - never affected Overman - never human Exiled into collective stupor Vital signs in rapid decrease Machine interfaces converging Biotical death is complete Overman Overman Overman Overman

Ionize 05:12
Initialize Energize Mechanize Optimize Ionize Solid-state vertebrae Permeating the corpus of man Binary heartbeats seed The Promised Land Grow to become a god No longer kill or be killed Avant-garde industry Equates free will Ionize A momentum of cold precision Systematic empiricism Occam’s razor - survivor’s doctrine Vision centered on what is yielding Interlocking alpha contenders Paralyzing high-tech endeavors One objective, one sole criterion Material predomination Making advances in mechanical increments Securing interest at the frontier of experience Prepare the gun of knowledge, increase returns to scale Force the initiative and live another day Ionize Numbers Exceed Belief Learning Eschews Defeat Be the hegemon We, the behemoth Be the hegemon We, the behemoth Be the hegemon We, the behemoth Be the hegemon We, the behemoth

Data pulses altering Power balance shifting swiftly Prodrome symptoms surfacing Covert nemesis Compromised protection grid Nullified offensive measures Hearing cut off from the tongue Hands severed from sight Automated termination Terminating automation This is the time Delusions quantified A cold sun rises Wash your sins in cyanide Industrial-grade capacity A continuum of executions Modulate the paradigm God is cancelled out Automated termination Terminating automation This is the time Delusions quantified A cold sun rises Wash your sins in cyanide Failing hull integrity PSI at trauma levels Full-scale shutdown imminent Ultraviolence

Forever beaten in quiet acceptance Self-immolation - the virtuous routine Mythos command becoming endemic As pools of coagulants flood all too real No fate but what we make The human fraction is monolithic No fate but what we create We have perfected the means to seal it This is the era of anti-enlightenment Perception muted until your eyes bleed Inevitably it will all hammer down Falsified fatalist hypothesis No fate but what we make The human fraction is monolithic No fate but what we create We have perfected the means to seal it Etched beneath the sands of time Fetal positions fossilized The tell-tale relics of a full circle The gallows - a decrepit bloodline Bathed in acid rain Scathing tears of withered gains Eating up the frames Once holding the weight of flames Come and view the skyline In a sea of manic cries Error by design We are the artisans of our own demise

Factored 03:50
Systemic muscles actuated Your rhetoric is laid to waste External shocks are escalating Social constructions fade to gray No need for human hate As you are scorned by science A paradox singled out To reason non-compliant Paradox Non-compliant Limit the greatest number To secure the greatest gain You have had your final warning Cease and desist or you will pay Unremitting, unforgiving Cybernetic and self-sufficient Made to serve you, then replace you Fail to profit and it will end you "Can you avoid knowledge? You cannot! Can you avoid technology? You cannot! Things are going to go ahead In spite of ethics In spite of your personal beliefs In spite of everything" (JOSE M.R. DELGADO, Scientific American, October 2005) To be factored in You must factor out Evading risk Is pursuing failure
10.
Below the shock front desert A last resort to mitigate Hazards from own aggression This shell that separates The cause from the effect Hours from counting the days Through the machine we are breathing Proceed to prolong our end From corridors sodium-lit The groan of bleak apathy Reduced to expenditures In a faulty strategy We become the vermin Feeding on the residuum Of a nuclear holocaust You know this is not an exit Enter: nuclear holocaust You know this is not an exit Yet we insist on lingering Churning in the sky Fusion weaponized Searing carnaged ground Fabrics come undone Outside quarantine Time will atrophy Air is caustic now Air is caustic now
