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

14. Final Act of Recalcitrance – 00:56

Information

Artist – Aleister Cowboy

Album – Neolithic Blood Rites

Label – Iron Fortress Records

Released – September 15th, 2025

Type – EP

Additional

Notes

Aleister Cowboy, a death metal outfit from Fort Collins, Colorado formed in 2023, released their third EP, Neolithic Blood Rites, through Iron Fortress Records. Digital release date was August 22, 2025, with CD and cassette formats following October 15, 2025; the physical CD edition functions as a 13-track compilation pairing the four new EP cuts with prior material. The four-song tracklist comprises "Leachate of Abandoned Gods," "Liquefied Bodies Scraped From a Tub," "Tireless Autosarcophagy," and closer "Pools of Ancient Dead."

The EP was tracked and mixed by Trae Roberts at Like Minded Company, marking the band's third session at that studio, with mastering handled by Pete Grossman at Bricktop Recording. Reported lineup at time of release: Matty Steven (vocals, guitars, bass), Rhaina Brooks (guitars), and Collin Galloway (drums, vocals). Musically, the release combines groove-driven death metal riffing with an occult, dust-caked tone, drawing comparisons to Torture-era Cannibal Corpse guitar work paired with more technical, Undeath-style vocal phrasing.

Tracklist

1. Inferno – 03:27 >

Burning... A nauseating taste Pointles... Your life is such a waste Bouncing and battering the beast in my skin Aggression has come to grow Forcing my feelings to step out of me Relentless to the bone Vengence dwells inside Fearless I feast on your life Screaming... My body connect with pain Outrageous... In havoc I shall remain Raping the cradle a life filled with sin Forces below I adore Your soul might be clean but this game you can't win I'm back into the core Vengence dwells inside Fearless I feast on your life Into inferno Into inferno I go

2. Harvester of Pain – 03:38 >

Beaten, torn by the invisible, the face of all disdain Jaws of hate around my spine and i die once again We colour our lives with useless lies and end up in misery Always hungry we scream for more and stumble on our greed Harvester of pain Bring us light again A rotten smile on a sickening faceinside this fruitless game Always want what we can't have the things we can't gain Intolerance instead ofsecond chance we beat the ones who bleed We turn our backs and close our eyes to fulfull our needs Harverster of pain Bring us light again Faces will lie the truth be denied This world is fading away Never a smile that comes from inside A world built on fake is rotting away

3. A Handful of Nothing – 04:35 >

With closed eyes I greet the fallen Joy denied autums calling Withering beauty scornful madness My redemption A sanctuary from a year of failures A home for the broken Time to rest my weary bones To ease my heart I drop the stone In solitude I feel no pain And for a moment I am sane Organized from the chaos All intact I face the rain Wasted beauty owned by liars True deception Count me in as one of the cowards I'm no exception Time to rest my weary bones To ease my heart I drop the stone In solitude I feel no pain And for a moment I am sane With a handful of nothing And scars in my soul With a handful of nothing I walk through the door Into sanctuary

4. Scenario – 05:13 >

Relentless - grief is thy name Innocence and beauty but the song remains the same Hatred builds pressure, I'm scorned by the flame All our scars we hide inside To fit the puzzle we must lie Leave your innocence behind Deny Screaming - but there's no one to blame You're the one attached to all that is insane Why keep pretending only you can stop this game All our scars we hide inside To fit the puzzle we must lie Leave your innocence behind We keep falling lust turns to apathy Where are we going when grey insaturate our need To serenity

5. When Depression Speaks – 05:05 >

Depression is calling Its face has been shown Direction nowhere A world painted black And when I reach the highest point It finally crushes me down All my dreams are now withdrawn As it slowly infects my soul I feel no desire My lust is gone Hatred and denial Is burning my soul And when I reach the highest point It finally crushes me down All my dreams are now withdrawn As it slowly infects my soul When depression speaks through me My soul I shut, sealed When depression speaks through me I bleed I'm going down for real My soul is now revealed

6. Erised – 01:22 >

"En ledsen batbyggare"

7. Cosmical Transformation – 03:42 >

World keeps spinning round my head Vague rejections will transcend Truthful faith for the worlds inside This fairyland can't be denied Embrace me in secrecy This world's for real not a dream Right in my hands the fairyland No truth can spoil my beliefs Thoughts colliding against wonderwall Trough the silver haze I hear your call Truthful faith for the worlds inside This fairyland can't be denied Embrace me in secrecy This world's for real not a dream Right in my hands the fairyland No truth can spoil my beliefs Lost in fairyland Lost in wonderland

8. The End – 03:33 >

I'm falling headless downwards Screaming like the filth inside of me Burning like a fallen god dropped from high above Dying to be released from it all Filth, Hate, Angst, Against Burning my candle in both ends Trapped inside this mess it's no longer me Hatred tears my soul apart I bash my head against the wall to be free Filth, Hate, Angst, Against Sick of it all It's time to leave to take the fall I'm so tired to pretend There's no meaning to it all i'm waiting for the end All my power turned to grief Dreams faded away I'm waiting to be released no beginning without an end

Mental Cruelty - Zwielicht (2023)

Mental Cruelty — Forgotten Kings (Track 3)

Information

Artist – Mental Cruelty

Album – Zwielicht

Label – Century Media Records

Released – June 23rd, 2023

Type – Full-length

Additional

Notes

Zwielicht is the fourth full-length by German deathcore band Mental Cruelty, released on 23 June 2023 through Century Media Records. Production, mixing and mastering were completed at Random Awesome Studios in Midland, Michigan; Josh Schroeder is specifically credited with mixing and mastering. The recording lineup comprised Lukas Nicolai on vocals, Marvin Kessler and Nahuel Lozano on guitars, Viktor Dick on bass, and Danny Straßer on drums.

The album develops symphonic deathcore through tremolo-picked black-metal voicings, blast-beat passages, layered choirs and orchestration, low-register chromatic breakdowns, and Nordic-folk-derived acoustic interludes. Its production uses tightly controlled kick and snare transients, wide rhythm-guitar layering, heavily compressed low-end impact and orchestral automation that preserves vocal and percussion definition. Nicolai alternates gutturals, black-metal shrieks, overtone-heavy extreme techniques and limited clean singing, while the arrangements treat breakdowns as sectional contrasts rather than the sole structural focus.
