MEAT MACHINE

by Obsidian Kingdom

supported by

Darknight Obsidian Kingdom reinvent themselves with a different take on the progressive metal genre and they have really blown my mind. Meat Machine is completely different to the previous albums and it's so refreshing to hear this band go into another direction, it makes Obsidian Kingdom an unbelievable talent. Favorite track: SPANKER.

Lincoln McCormick A step outside the familiar rehashing of modern metal into a world of greater sincerity, greater intensity, and greater originality. Favorite track: MEAT STAR.

saangel I don't like comparisons but this is just to contextualise: I was floored when I first heard Mantiis and it's been among my favourites since. This is different and had to grew on me. This is a really good, diverse, cool, visceral and authentic record. It's transparent, but it's not "in your face". I really dig it. It was an acquired taste for me even after liking their previous albums. These people are full of creativity. keep it up. saludos desde Chile! Favorite track: MR PAN.

ben26 Heard first on Gimme Metal, kick arse from beginning to end!!!!

Vidur Paliwal Unafraid to mix opposing sounds, Obsidian Kingdom manage to make Meat Machine sound energetic and original. A savage mixture of noise, sludge, prog, and much more! Review: everythingisnoise.net/reviews/obsidian-kingdom-meat-machine/

GAMBLERS IN A GAME THAT WE’RE ALL FORCED TO PLAY A DANCE BETWEEN POWER AND POWERLESSNESS THE GAME IS PLAYED WITH EVERLASTING RULES OH, YOU'RE TANGLED IN THEM TOO WHO COULD EVER REALIZE, IT'S FAKE, INFLAMED? AND WHEN IT TRANSLATES TO LIFE, IT SKINS US ALIVE A BODY IS JUST A BODY AND A BODY IS JUST A FRAME ECHOES OF A BLANK SPACE TO BE FILLED WITH YOUR PAIN AND YOU WELCOME IT ALL YOU WELCOME IT ALL IN YOUR CAGE AND YOU PUSH IT TOO FAR TILL IT BREAKS A BODY IS JUST A BODY AND A BODY IS JUST A FRAME FEED THE INNER MONSTER LET DISORDER REIGN WE WRITHE IN PAINT AND BLOOD CANVAS ALWAYS FALLING SHORT SO GROTESQUE AND VILE WE ARE THE SCENT OF YOUR DREAMS IS DIRT AND RUST ALL YOUR WISHES COME UNDONE OH DON'T WAKE ME DON'T WAKE ME UP FLESH BEARS THE WHISPERS AND THE MARKS OF THIS LUST YOU CANNOT HIDE IT WILL TEAR US DOWN IT WILL TEAR US APART

9.	WOMB OF WIRE 05:16	lyrics
THE WHOLE FRAME IN MONOCHROME RED HOLES ARE DRILLED WITH A REFINED MACHINE A CHASE WITHOUT HOPE AN UNRELENTING WHEEL MEAT TO STILL LIFE PAIN STRAINING YOUR LIPS RELINQUISHED OF A NAME SUCH PITIFUL BEINGS SOMEWHAT TOO WORN OUT TO KEEP THE TRAGIC SHOW IS ON AND YOU'RE PRONE TO THE OBSCENE LOOK CLOSE HOW SHAPES DISSOLVE IT'S DIRE AND IT’S SUBLIME HOW FRAGILE WE ARE BRED INTO A WOMB OF WIRE RENDERED IN AN ENDLESS NIGHT THIS POWER BREATHES WAVES OF HELL YOUR BODY A POUND OF FLESH
10.	A FOE 05:26	lyrics
I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID BUT NOW THAT IT TAKES PLACE IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT ENDS UP THIS WAY IT'S THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES IT'S THAT GRIN ON YOUR FACE MAKES IT PAINFULLY CLEAR THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE TO PLAY AND HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT IT IS UNDESERVED? 'CAUSE THIS LIFE IS SO CRUEL WITH ITS CROWN AND ITS NAILS AND THE TIME FLOWS SO SLOW AS IT SLIPS OFF MY HANDS IT'S MY BLOOD ON THE GROUND SAYS THE VOICE IN MY HEAD AND I THINK I COULD CRY AND I THINK I COULD BEG BUT THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST SO I SIT DOWN INSTEAD WHEN THE REEL WEARS TOO THIN TO CONTAIN ALL THE SHAME WE WILL RIDE ON THE CART TO MY GRUESOME END

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 41 fans who also own “MEAT MACHINE”

What I like the most about this album is that it seems to be more riff-oriented and memorable compared to their earlier albums which were chock-full of crazy dissonant riffage but their songs often meandered or lacked any distinct progression. That is not to say that this this album is any less dense, but is certainly a little catchier, here and there. As always with Ulcerate, their music rewards repeated listening while clearly retaining the tragic, emotional feeling the band is known for. Lefteris Kefalas

Mestarin kynsi
by Oranssi Pazuzu

supported by 37 fans who also own “MEAT MACHINE”

Mestarin Kynsi is more than just an album. I have never experienced such intense emotions through music before. Cold shivers down my spine, trembling, complete immersion. While listening, I found myself in a trance, tears streaming down my face… not from sadness, but from pure awe. It felt as if the music was rewiring my nervous system, filling me with an energy I can’t even put into words. This is not music for casual listening, it’s a ritual, an experience, an obsession. Q.
