Zeta City was already infamous for being a dangerous place full of vicious dregs killing for their own small piece of dystopian hell... Then he appeared-- the killer known as HEX and showed them what killing really is.

Initial Access
By: Russell Nomer

The network's quiet, the fortress stands tall 
You think you're protected, behind a firewall 
But a lock only works if the key can't be found 
I'm standing at the gates on digital ground 

I'll send a little lure, a carefully crafted spear 
A Phishing link, an attachment, playing on your fear 
Or you'll just surf the web to a site you thought was clean 
A Drive-by Compromise, a malware scene 
I'll change your favorite blog, rewrite the trusted script 
With Content Injection, now your safety's ripped

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Your Public-Facing App, with a flaw you overlooked 
That External Remote Service, now I've got you hooked 
A little USB I "lost" right on your lobby floor 
Replication starts, opens up another door 
Or maybe something physical, a sneaky little box 
A Hardware Addition that circumvents your locks

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Sometimes it's not a direct attack, the methods can be sly 
Through a Trusted Relationship, or a Supply Chain buy 
I'll use Valid Accounts that were stolen, weak, or new 
And that insecure Wi-Fi Network? Yeah, that was me, too... 

 Eleven ways to get inside... 
Nowhere left to hide... 
I'm in.

Blood Oath (Feat. WVLFPAKT)

Download: http://www.confrontational.bandcamp.com

Always the war
In 2019
This is the world of today
In our minds
There is only the money
And there is nothing for you
Ten hours work
No flowers in the mind
The life runs without happiness
Everyday dreams
To go to a better life
But they remain only dreams
You are the children
Your life will be very hard
You are the children
You're singing every day
To have a friend
To explain your little problems
Can you say now to have it
Sometimes you hope
It's only an illusion
Don't hope, it's better so
But children's power
Will win
I am sure
We’ll see sweet lovers for us
Your fantasy
Will find new nice colours
But now it's time to go
You are the children
Your life will be very hard
You are the children
You're singing every day
