Notes

Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death, the debut full-length from Seattle, Washington-based Oxygen Destroyer, was independently released on April 5th, 2018 (later reissued via Redefining Darkness Records). A four-piece blackened death/thrash outfit, the band delivered 10 tracks of kaiju-themed aggression clocking in at just under 30 minutes.

Lineup: Jordan Farrow — guitars, vocals; Joey Walker — guitars; Ben Williams — bass; Chris Craven — drums. Recorded live in 2017 at The Metalsmiths, Inc., mixed and mastered by Cody J. Brumlow.

The sound draws on blackened thrash and death metal with rapid riffing and aggressive vocals, comparable to Hypnosia, Deströyer 666, Desaster, and Vader. Lyrical themes center on kaiju destruction, nuclear annihilation, and humanity's downfall. Digital formats predominated at release, with later vinyl reissues.

Tracklist

1. Born of Nuclear Energy – 01:29

2. Cleansing the Earth of Humanity's Existence – 05:43 >
Awakened by the ravages of the Hydrogen Bomb A God Incarnate brimming with unspeakable hatred Thermonuclear energy coursing through his veins Transmogrified by the arrogance of humankind Spewing forth the fires of atomic radiation Slaughtering countless waves of innocent civilians Petrified families burn in agony beneath his breath Cleansed by the flames of Hiroshima City remnants lie shrouded in darkness Desecrated by the immortal entity of ruination (Leads: Walker) City remnants lie shrouded in darkness Desecrated by the immortal entity of ruination Deities of the apocalypse shall arise
3. Onslaught of the Precambrian Hordes – 02:45 >
Dwelling within the sea since the dawn of time Ancient crustaceans awaken from their dormancy Chemical pollution rejuvenating the horde Merciless abnormalities seeking to deprive the earth of life Swarming with detestation across the feeble world Relentless aberrations birthing the embodiment of depravity Tearing through the throat of the infant bestial Laughing as the child chokes on his own blood Sensing a disturbance, the God Incarnate rises Unfathomable rage overwhelming his mind Spiral rays ignite the battleground, desecrating Tokyo's remains Defenseless, the demon falls to his knees Vomiting floods of gore
4. Subsumed Within the Bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity – 03:18 >
Bio-genetically altered by the sickening effects of radiation A photosynthetic entity consumed with everlasting detestation Spear like tendrils lashing out as acid guts spew from it's jaws Wretched roots of death sprouting forth Raping the soils of Earth. Subsumed within the bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity (Leads: Farrow) Subsumed within the bowels of the Perennial Monstrosity (Leads: Walker)
5. Summoning the Moth of Divinity – 03:13 >
Day turns to night as smoke engulfs the sky Conjured by the flames of the God Incarnate Laughing with contentment at the sight of dying vitims Cries of death fill the air Gathered amongst the ancient altar, tribal cults pray in desperation Beckoning to their sacred deity, a hallowed conservator of the human race Ascending from the caverns of her holy shrine A creature of enlightenment sworn to abolish the bringers of desolation Clouds of pulverous scales descending from her wings Blistering bolts of energy weakening the wretched behemoth of death (Leads: Farrow) Grasped within her talons, the tyrant beast subdued Screeching with anger as he's sealed beneath the ocean depths
6. Vanquished by the Unrelenting Devastation of the Celestial Behemoth – 04:07 >
Conceived within the darkness of the mystifying universe An interstellar entity transcending the cosmos Brimming with malevolence, hatred undefined A savage aberration seeking to eradicate mankind Grinning with malice and deceit As he soars across the solar system Constructing his crystallized fortress through telekinetic mastery Incomprehensible energy channeled from within the planetary core (Leads: Walker) Grinning with malice and deceit As he soars across the solar system
7. Bio-Mechanically Imprisoning the Sacred Beast of the Apocalypse – 03:47 >
Putrefied embodiment of death A festering carcass brimming with animosity Bionic tendrils pierce the decomposed flesh Rejuvenating the beast through cybernetic necromancy Blasphemous aspirations for rebirth Souls of the dead shall roam the earth Augmented beyond recognition Eternal synthetic damnation Morbid recollections of the past Infiltrate the artificial cerebrum Releasing the mechanical aberration From the clutches of human scum Blasphemous aspirations for rebirth Souls of the dead shall roam the earth
8. Supersonic Devastator – 01:24 >
Primordial creatures arise from the depths of oblivion Bolstered by the horrors of thermonuclear radiation Blistering through the skies as they feast upon humankind Cities lie in ruin, destruction redefined Mutilated carcasses clutched within their talons Everything will be devoured by the winged aberrations
9. Death to the False King – 01:04 >
Wretched pretender, feeble aggressor, shunned throughout history Tonight I'll ensure your demise for defiling my legacy Grasping your throat as I cringe in disgust at your meaningless existence I knew that tuna eating monster wasn't up to much
10. Atomic Breath – 03:04 >
Conjured by the atom bomb Hate encompassing deity Destined to ensure the extinction of humanity Infiltrating Tokyo Death is overflowing Dorsal plates upon his back ominously glowing Jaws opened wide Searing rays unleashed Innocent women and children completely vaporized Countless suffering victims Devoured by the flames Consistently enduring the perpetual detestation of the beast (Leads: Walker) Ashes of the dead litter the ground, scorched by atomic breath Radioactivity intensifying rapidly as the Sacred Beast of the Apocalypse brings forth death

Total length: 29:54
