Notes

Devastation’s second full-length, Signs of Life, followed the band’s 1987 debut and marked a major leap in speed, aggression and songwriting. Released by Combat Records on October 2, 1989, it captures the Corpus Christi quintet at the boundary between late-’80s thrash and emerging death metal. The nine-song set is driven by rapid, tightly packed riff changes, abrasive twin-guitar attacks and relentless drumming, with Rodney Dunsmore’s clipped, hardcore-tinged shouts riding above the violence. “Tomorrow We Die” later appeared on the 1990 Speed Kills 5 compilation.

Recorded in November 1988 at Goodnight Studios in Dallas, Kerry Crafton handled production and engineering while the band co-produced; mastering was completed at Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs in New York. The raw but forceful sound keeps the rhythm guitars and thick bass prominent, while the drums and leads intensify the record’s breathless attack. “Fear of the Unknown” provides a comparatively expansive, slower-moving contrast, and “Retribution” and the title track interrupt the speed with heavier, more deliberate passages. Tommy Pons supplied the artwork, with photography by Gus Vasquez. The lyrics focus on death, life and anti-Satanic themes rather than conventional occult imagery.

Tracklist

1. Eye For An Eye – 3:33 >

Afflicted pain reveals in life no inner will to live Descending war becomes of us destruction tends to drift Society manipulates deformity resides Evaluate the world in the time an inner choice decides I see the end and know there's no escape Close my eyes meet death accept my fate Intimidation closes in not asking why Not it's an eye for an eye Prescribed yet to delinquish No true alternative Seek powers from the unknown Eternity decides again Vindication of my mind Hidden thoughts are weak but still prevail Alienation passes now Eternal beings cast from the suffering Solos: Elizondo Burk Elizondo Burk Elizondo Burk As I live exist in fear in my mind preserve Thoughts of death once reborn a sentence yet unserved I see the end and know there's no escape Close my eyes meet death accept my fate Intimidation closes in not asking why Not it's an eye for an eye Chaotic norm cease to exist prestige is now futile Unwilling reform incapable seclusion brings the end Reflecting time as now has seen repeating the process Second sequence falls too short an inner choice decides I see the end and know there's no escape Close my eyes meet death accept my fate Intimidation closes in not asking why Not it's an eye for an eye

4. Signs of Life – 4:12 >

Victimless circumstance condemned by prejudice Self-appointed jury concedes no innocence Suffer of hate plots his vindictive ways Death becomes imminent, life no longer is a game Execution, endlessly Choice of death, what will it be The fatal conflict beckons thee Retribution, set me free Swift, rabid punishment for those cause the pain Vehement death vendetta from a man labeled insane Slicing away his agony, his agony, morbid judgement has been passed Ravager of solace smiles - the anguish now released Determination fury spreading death through the reign Fallen remnants from a mind described as cynical through pain Life's value extracted by an unrestricting grief Inevitable fear unheard destroying silent screams Retribution, set me free Victim lies in dormancy The fatal conflict has been fought Endless struggle, death is sought Solo: Elizondo Justice is served in his mind but not in others The law of degradation that cast their shadows seem despondent Victim becomes victim in a system ran by lies Pondering what he has done as they tape electrodes to his eyes Insanity the final plea escape the tortured path Remorse is inconceivable, accept the chosen path Blind by hatred driven by a revengeful eye No peas, regrets, or penance seen, the time has to come to die Choice of death, what will it be Flick the witch to be free No regrets, no final pleas Retribution, killing me

7. Contaminated – 2:28 >

A dark creation of my dreams Beneath the surface the evil brings Unforseen thoughts of what will be Life or death or eternity Paranoia is no answer The truth can't hide behind the question What's to come and what's to be My afterlife what's in store for me Time stands still as it's slipping away Unanswered questions make me wonder the way Living in fear a predetermined destiny The meaning of life is my own reality Reincarnation, I just can't see Coming back as another being God is there is he for me A savior for my life to be Nothingness the worst fear of all Where dead is dead and I can't be saved Destined to lay decaying away Inside I'm still living day after day Cast into nonexistence hear my cries Fear of the unknown what is life what I am Wings of tribulation pull the life from my eyes Now I'm gone nothing but an afterthought My fate is only what's in store for me The blood of innocence shall set me free Reborn as my soul will grow I must die Dreams foretold my fate now I visualize Sacraments of written lore Interpret meanings of life before Feel the pain experience the question Are we dead or in suspension Time stands still as it's slipping away Unanswered questions make me wonder the way Living in fear a predetermined destiny The meaning of life is my own reality Cast into nonexistence hear my cries Fear of the unknown what is life what I am Wings of tribulation pull the life from my eyes Now I'm gone nothing but an afterthought Subjugate Life's restraint No escape Drawing nearer to the end Lives in sin Death begins Soul descends Eternally my life is lost The sands of time are running low Each step draws closer to the end Where does time begin and where does it end My only instinct once was survive I've lost the will and the struggle inside Breakdown the barrier of this life that surround me Destroying life and all it's worth The end is here I await my rebirth A dark creation of my dreams Beneath the surface the evil brings Unforseen thoughts of what will be Life or death or eternity Paranoia is no answer The truth can't hide behind the question What's to come and what's to be My afterlife what's in store for me Time stands still as it's slipping away Unanswered questions make me wonder the way Living in fear a predetermined destiny The meaning of life is my own reality Cast into nonexistence hear my cries Fear of the unknown what is life what I am Wings of tribulation pull the life from my eyes Now I'm gone nothing but an afterthought Infiltrate Terms of hate Sealed by fate Meant to suffer or set free Eternity Dependency Calling me I can't stand what I can't see

8. Fear of the Unknown – 6:01 >

Mutilation death's construction Another world left behind Seek the way to no answers Immortal beings left to die Escape to violence Out of control Carnage of reason Destined to death Decimate holy terror Manipulate archaic soul Eulogistic of life's anguish Malevolent hatred blood will burn Parasitic mutant victim Rotting thoughts decayed response Social outcast malicious virus Random murder armed Escape to violence Out of control Carnage of reason Destined to death Solo: Elizondo Rancid martyr pillaged horror Abdicate morbid fate Malignant cancer necromancer The sovereign one is he dead Endotrophic cells implode Corpse of being rabid flesh Sublimated virtues lie decayed The fatal seed has been spawned Escape to violence Out of control Carnage of reason Destined to death

Tracklist

1. Trinitrotoluene Negation – 01:42 >

Artillery shells rain upon us like incendiary hatred ICBM detonation - trinitrotoluene negation War for fossil fuel Expenditure of mass munitions The annihilation of modern Mesopotamia Infrastructure bombed out, decades without sanitation The sky is blocked out in clouds of shattered concrete A tidal wave of shrapnel - metallic shard decapitation Streets of splattered children Truckloads of their deceased relations ...a desert baked in gore The repeated explosive impact Of guided missiles pound the city Cementing western culture As "The Great Satan" for years to come Bombers "martyred" in their suicides In explosive acts of holy revenge Cadaverous metropolis This cycle will bring the world to its end

2. Blistered Dejection – 01:03 >

Floating through a garbage life Sweatpants caked with logs Fragile homebum dejection Blistered lips, teeth are gone Slept in my car, stole my antenna Chasing another rock - limping off with my bike ...a jaw that will never re-align Your life is rocked up - lurking The intense fervor of whining self pity Excuses pile up like so many aluminum cans Slow motion shifty crackmonger existence Removed from any semblance of a waking life Death would be a step up Rocked up - death

3. Grinder of Fools – 01:46 >

The fearsome sight of a man possessed Swinging a chain of shrunken heads Sharpener of ribs - eater of toes - swallower of eyes Your feet are smashed With a sickening clamor Ran through with a spear Unceremoniously hacked The axe has swung - the heads will fall Grinder of fools The fitting of the glove The mounting of the gauntlet An axehandle, notched with many tales to tell Negation of your worldly existence Reduced to meat, meat for dogs Cleaver of scalps... grinder of fools

4. Klaxon of Puzzlement – 01:14 >

Crippling cognitive dissonance Rotation of disjointed thoughts Total erasure of clarity Passing time in an elevated blackout Buried alive in a mound of dry dirt Blasting klaxon of puzzlement Blasting klaxon of puzzlement Won't see a single task through Cliffs of anxiety, gritted teeth Crippling cognitive dissonance Shroud of bewilderment Blinding the straight path

5. Renegade Incompetence – 01:10 >

Souls of renegade incompetence Trifling fucking humans You're not one of God's special creatures ...he does not exist You're just another worm Legions of motherless scum Pushing me to the god-damned brink Fast track to an aneurysm Innocent escape from a world of idiocy You're not one of God's special creatures ...he does not exist You're just another fucking worm Fast track to an aneurysm ...an innocent escape from a world of idiots

6. Dissolution of Rights, Part 4 – 01:50 >

Years of wiretaps; fiendish extermination Eradication of free thought Morse code deliberation Trust, subcutaneous The organizing of workers Community organizing construed as terror Demonize, discredit and demoralize Bait and switch, divide and conquer Dissolve our rights Raging campaign of internal terror Delineate the destruction of dissent Lying testimonies In a court of conservative crucifixion False message perversion Sidetracked into infighting Demonize, discredit and demoralize Bait and switch, divide and conquer Dissolve our rights Raging campaign of internal terror Delineate the destruction of dissent Bombardment of the collective unconsciousness With bastard xenophobic lies Keeps our crusade holy and our complacency diffuse

7. Simultaneous Assassination – 00:48 >

They cornered him in the marketside cafe And wallpapered it with his fucking brains The cars ignition ripped a mighty blast And splattered the remains of a 'very important man' Unknown assailants - the slayings simultaneous Every hit strategic - the butchery of regents Deadly fallout - neutron activation Mass demise by reinforced radiation

8. Up in Flames, Down in a Sea of Bullets – 01:34

9. Crippled Mercilessly by Homemade Bombs – 01:28 >

Stalking streets, occupying force Foreign children killed by our bombs I.E.D. retaliation - shrapnel skull, no tales to tell Landmine dislocation - car bomb annihilation "God is great" - a smoking crater "Mission accomplished" - oil landgrab Nine years in and going strong Suckered into a stupid death By smiling pricks in recruitment posters Crippled mercilessly by homemade bombs Wandering the streets in military fatigues Demoralized by violence, jaded with life Democracy is delivered by an I.C.B.M. Get 'er done, glamour shot, another senseless death Plastic leg, "he was a hero" A steaming pile of human guts ...he might be home, but he's never coming back

10. The Story of Ricky – 01:24

11. Fatal Confusion – 00:50 >

A small misstep, leg crashing through Cleaved in half as the steam line breaks The wrench slips, crossing phase to phase ...arc blast, molten metal Blows your torso through Toeboard kicks up, 90 feet drop Into the yawning separator's blades When they swept you off of the furnace's walls They had to I.D. you by your keyring Your final face, a mask of shock ...not even enough time to whimper Your cranium caves in with an awful sound The result of your fatal confusion The doors to the factory, locked from the outside ...the burning stench of the seamstress's flesh Unsteady hands on the cutting torch Cut the piece of angle, three fingers, too Didn't see the windsock blow ...chlorine gas fills your lungs "That rigging's seen better days" Smashed prostrate by eighteen tons

12. Devious Persecution and Wholesale Slaughter – 01:10 >

Stemming the tide of a fascist state ...a partisan resistance Double crossed by informants Jailed, and put to death Execution by pigs - devious persecution Execution by pigs Execution by pigs - rounded up like cattle Devious persecution - and wholesale slaughter

13. Port of Chicago Disaster – 00:44

Evisarize - Evisarize (2019)

Evisarize — Parasites (Track 4)

Information

Artist – Evisarize

Album – Evisarize

Label – Independent

Released – October 31st, 2019

Type – Full-length

Additional

Notes

Evisarize is the debut full-length by London black/death/thrash band Evisarize, independently released on October 31, 2019. The digital edition contains twelve tracks totaling 46:05; the band also issued a CD with a sixteen-page lyric and artwork booklet. The recording lineup was Vas (Anthony Vasilou) on vocals, Alex Dickie on lead guitar, Ben Gillam on rhythm guitar, Andy Taylor on bass, and session musician Max Prokopin on drums. No recording studio, producer, engineer, mixing, or mastering credits are documented by Metal Archives, Bandcamp, or the accessible Discogs listing.

The album uses a rapid death/thrash framework built from tightly palm-muted rhythm figures, tremolo-picked passages, abrupt rhythmic breaks, frequent double-bass propulsion, and harsher low-register vocals than conventional thrash. The lead guitar supplies short melodic lines and technically articulated solos over a comparatively dry, riff-forward production. Blast-beat acceleration and blackened melodic phrasing broaden the sound beyond straightforward thrash, while the bass largely reinforces the dense guitar attack.

Album – Dawn of the Ritual

Label – Independent

Released – 1994

Type – Demo

Additional

Notes

Released in January 1994, Dawn of the Ritual is the second demo by the Québec-based Death/Thrash Metal band Apocalyptic Fear. Engineered and recorded by Pierre Rémillard at Peter Pan Studios in Montréal during December 1993, the release marks a shift from the band's initial Thrash Metal origins toward a structured Death Metal sound. The original cassette format contains five tracks with a total runtime of 19:26. The technical sound is characterized by fast tremolo riffing, double-kick drumming patterns, and standard low-register guttural vocals.

The 1994 recording lineup consisted of Jean-François Houle on vocals and guitars, Steeve Daigle on guitars, Sébastien Gagnon on bass, and Sébastien Bussières on drums. Following decades of unavailability outside of the secondary market, the demo was officially reissued in December 2020 by Awakening Records.

Tracklist

1. Dawn of the Ritual (Intro) – 00:54 >

When the sun's rising On the forgotten land The damned souls are whispering In the wind of the past Pain of human sacrifices Survives on the silent ocean Corpses penetrate the sand Since the dawn of the ritual...

2. Mutilated by Sickness – 04:00 >

Isolated Isolated by my sickness Artificial breath keeps me alive Ain't no choice to survive Erasing a piece of my life The darkness I see Sorrow, anger and frustration My hopeful dream turns into nightmare A scream from my deepless mind I want to shout it out loud to the world Uncontrolled destiny Drain out my mental energy Total confusion, a storm in my mind I surrender, I surrender to my death Mutilated by sickness Consuming slowly, rotten ways Eternal suffering Countless pain, hopeless life No hope, no freedom All is black around me I can't explain my desolation I can't explain my tears Please hear me, set me free Of this fucking hell... Mutilated by sickness I'm burning I'm burning for eternity I'm waiting I'm waiting for my final death Kill me, I can't talk Kill me, I can't move Kill me, I can't cry Kill me, I want to die

3. Dying Age – 04:00 >

Violent death on the TV screen Mega-city in the claw of corruption Suffering among the blinded society Marked for life, forever New age of decadence One step in the wrong side Wasted men fall in misery Lew of terror in the dark streets They should obey The urban terrorist, has created a social paranoia Oppression of power Another morbid murder Blood spills everywhere Sexual agression is done Terrorized victim One step in the wrong side Wasted men fall in misery Lew of terror in the dark streets They should obey Law of terror, confusion guides us in fear Law of terror, insane criminality Steal the weak Brutal ways With street rules Got a knife Painful body Scream in agony Got a gun Deadly crime Extreme violence Power grip Racial fights Speech of lies Law of terror Law of terror New age of decadence

4. The Execution – 04:48 >

Terrorizing war, nonsense to fight The enemy strikes, strikes again Bestial invasion, taken alive Hours of mayhem, better off dead Obtained in the filthy pit The sound of agony resounds in their heads Torturing their honor Living in hate, insane nation Living insecurity, darkest days Brain wash begins, begins the pain Hopeless prayer, desperate Fooling the agressor, feeling the horror Punishment for the faithful warrior Keep the silence, opposed mentality Oncoming of nation's freedom Hungry children, broken future The execution, fell in Hell The execution, victim of war The execution, no mercy The execution, killing time Awaiting macabre sentence preparing to die Oppressed and abused, groaning on the wall Skeletal prisoner, life broken by war Executioner, ready to pull the trigger Another crime is done, cause they are wasted soldiers Military forces control the mass Confused violence, spreading their hate People's intolerance, shut up and kill Chaotic society, give peace a chance

5. Mental Delirium – 05:27 >

Knowing what you've done A nightmare just begun Guilt intensifies your reason to die Dead silence reminds your lies Morbid flashes before your eyes Damaged consciousness Lost beyond yourself This guilty silence speaks Unable to ease the pain An insane thought still remains Deep inside you feel free To die with no dignity Mental delirium, vision or illusion Suffering from manic depression Rope of misery, more than reality Another soul free from chronic insanity Fear of damnation Killed by inner suffocation, nowhere to run Rope of misery, more than reality Another soul free from chronic insanity Slave of depression Betrayed by emotions "Death is no escape" Passed away, standing alone in the dark Passed away, trapped himself in his fear Mind confusion, false emotions, man in shame, total pain Brutal agression, uncomprehension, wasted life, the last solution Throw way, the dark thoughts of your mind Mind confusion, taste emotions, man in shame, total pain Brutal agression, uncomprehension, wasted life, the last solution Far away, desperate sounds of crying Unable to ease the pain An insane thought still remains Deep inside you feel free To die with no dignity Mental dilirium, vision or illusion Suffering from manic depression
