Truth Be Told

TRUTH BE TOLD
"This is, most unfortunately, the only track of the three that we had the opportunity to spend a few moments actually trying to give a very rough mix! As we ran out of time, we had to choose only one song with which to quickly give a simplistic mix. Basically just setting everything at a decent level of volume. That's all we had time left to do, so we chose this track. Truth be told. This is why the other two tracks on this demo are so raw and obviously unfinished production wise, of course. With that said, this track is one of my all-time beloved of O.I jams! The lyrics are emphatically dead-center and precise. No bullshit there, indeed! The riffs are a fanatical blending of both Death and Thrash metal at its most vindictive core in an irreproachable melding between the two extremes. The vocals...by far, Cantor's finest hour! His vocals are at the very top with the likes of the true masters of extreme metal such as David Vincent, L.G.P on "Left Hand Path", Nick Holmes on "Lost Paradise", John Tardy (although there is no one quite like Tardy's vocal prowess!), Mikael Akerfeldt, Dan Swano and a few others out there that make death metal vocals an art form to be proud of and not ashamed of! You will find no inaudible cookie monster vocals here! Hell's goddamn negative! And if you think so then you need to shove your head back up your AIDS/Ebola ridden asshole where it belongs. I often put this track on repeat, slap on the headphones and go for a five and a half minute journey through unrelenting death/thrash bliss with my horns up, air guitar jammin the fuck out! That's what it's all about, metal heads! Getting your groove on, for fuck's sake! Throwin' the fuck down! Breakin' shit the fuck down! Whichever way it is that you get down to business...get to it! And that, my friends, is truth being told!"

LYRICS:
(Chorus)

This reality is downright criminal
Criminal in nature
This sick and twisted obsession with human regression
...is doomed to the bitter end of failure, failure

To dehumanize the thinking mind
Cultus inherent with sympathetic human worms
In a stockade of stentorian liars
Deplorable lives give rise to the vaporizing of spines

Beneath the rays of the post mist golden piss sunshine
Resplendent death in eyes of systematic conversion conspire
Beneath skin slippage of a dead end modern day
Slave labor waste of flesh is easy prey

To denigrate the cultivation of intelligent life seed
In every sense of the absurd
Criminal usage of all inclusive veins
As a thoroughfare for the truly disheartening

Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be fucking told!

(Chorus)
(...is doomed to the bitter end of failure)
