Annihilation Induced By The Luminous Firestorm
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

feed, the storm will feed
on the flesh of man relentlessly

prophecies of a ludicrous mortal were set in stone
to crucify the ones that do not follow

seed, inconspicuously they plant the seed
of treachery 

baptized daily in disbelief
as logic subsides absurdities  

designed by dreams
I awaken  
with clean eyes I see
an awakening

annihilation induced by the luminous firestorm

a human mind soaks in apathy
crushed to make pristine
bound as slaves in effigy

a time for expiration
oblivion awaits as we convert ourselves back into sand

feed, the storm will feed
on the flesh of man relentlessly

now we wait for the horsemen and the face of god
now we wait for the grand alignment 
now we dwell in deceit and defeat
now we wait upon the firestorm
fearing when the heat approaches 
for its presence will illuminate in the sky bringing forth annihilation  
a blinding light dries up every well in sight
pungent winds searing the flesh
until the end of time

[solo]

hear the cacophony bellowing from the smoldering ash
disregard the cries and pleas of agony from disobliging receptacles

[solo]

Annihilation Induced By The Luminous Firestorm

Rapturous Euphoria  
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

I scorn all virgin and tattered flesh
disgusting victims of their own lies 
I have belayed my deepest affection 
with utmost vengeance I seek the end of 
breath giving life

overwhelmed with no self control
I hunt and wait to strike

In my domain I dwell, I am master
misplaced in hell for the sake of reaching heaven
savoring this state of nostalgia
which cannot 
will not
does not exist

cold flesh
pale elegant and emaciated
never adequate for life

lust of your death
enthralled by the taste of hypnotic tragedy 
here I dream lucid of the quietus of you 
and all that you hold dear

[solo]

cleansed of my conscience
while spilling the blood within you
anxiously awaiting the rapturous euphoria 
I shall endure

there will never be forgiveness within my dominion 
misplaced in hell for the sake of reaching heaven
savoring this state of nostalgia
which cannot 
will not
does not exist

lust of your death
enthralled by the taste of hypnotic tragedy 
here I dream lucid of the quietus of you 
and all that you hold so dear

cleansed of my conscience
while spilling the blood within you
anxiously awaiting the rapturous euphoria 
I shall endure

Rapturous Euphoria

False Gods Render Death
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

let their be light shed upon the human flesh
to fabricate their minds to think a purpose must exist
divinity, the path to constant nonsense, pain and war
forevermore for the locust swarm is constantly around us
and I shall advocate as they suffocate
in the wrath of their war

deceased will stride throughout the 
hollows of a broken world
as if their bodies were wax
swept with a flame that would never die

those that will not except this
those that will not retreat
are those who's bodies will be lost in the sea
of endless fire and suffering 

false gods render death

fear and uncertainty 
manufactured components for controlling the sheep

let their be light shed upon the human flesh
to fabricate their minds to think a purpose must exist
divinity, the path to constant nonsense, pain and war
forevermore for locust swarm is constantly around us

forge an army to manipulate vapidity

worship your false gods
embellish your wisdom
tarnished by deceit
admit defeat

cattle leading cattle to failure
cattle leading swine to falsify purity

false gods render death

[solo]


False Gods Render Death

Enhanced Sinister Corruption
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

the path of which 
acedia becomes fertile
demolition is now reborn
the vast obsession
to network all minds into one mold
one collection

the path of which 
the prize is endless
glory is infinite
filth. hypocrisy
wrath. malice. 
vengeance.
is programed in us all

as drones built for war
our eyes, never intended for sight
enhanced by the sinister corruption
the gift to envision a world obliged in dreams and fantasy
then watch it all burn down

start with the sky
set it ablaze
evolution falls into extinction
repetition
flesh will always decay 
rot

the natural course is crumbling  
we must now become machine

[solo: Matt Brown]

the path of which 
all life grows dim
infiltrate and destroy

enhanced sinister corruption
mechanically decomposing the flesh, catastrophe complete
enhanced sinister corruption
we are now part of this machine 

Enhanced Sinister Corruption

Ecliptic Realm
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

they will exile you at birth

destruction, inevitable
and your weakness is all that you will know
the world will justify
as they rape you in this realm

[solo]

illusions of the world will blind
illusions of the world will cloud 
the minds of all mankind

blinding your senses with addictions
endlessly controlled

inhale the fate of thousand men
and the vengeance of a thousand more
spread disease into the purest hearts 
enslaving them forevermore
breeding generations of ignorance

fear of what the preacher's stories behold
festering in the bellies of the innocent
craving for their blood
feasting on the pockets of the weak

[solo]

power and vanity is all you need
lies
encompassed by the masquerade and endless disgust
blotting out the minds of the virtuous 
depressing are the times
as they reap what you have sown

ecliptic realm
devours the souls
forever in the bowels of time withering 

Ecliptic Realm

And Darkness Was Cast
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

charging my energies
my body and mind collide
creating a massive storm within myself	
that feeds on despair of the world's demise	
the very soil beneath my feet collapse
in the presence of my design
as I emit chastising aura 
I am no longer mortal
I am a god

[solo]

this is the dawn of a new age
I convey obliteration for conspiratorial swine
no pity for ones whom will lie in the waves of the wake
I reconcile with the wrath and destruction
to purify every life that I take

reflect on all the hate and all the pain
contamination will engulf 
at a despicable rate
sever all ties with the human race

I shall cast darkness
upon this land

I rise above to the highest cloud to bask in true glory
I cannot stand and watch the insects consume
I destroy
destroy defiled life
... and darkness was cast

And Darkness Was Cast

Architect or Arsonist
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

vicious dichotomy inside of me
atrocity
I must try to resist
architect or arsonist

a liquidation of all prototypes
extinguishing every echo life
a message of the dying light within me

cognizance built upon treachery 
severed from the consequence

a new light shall arise from the emulsion of darkness in me

nevertheless I must resist the lie
am I the architect or arsonist

desecrate that which was assembled 
in truth and righteousness

[solo: Christian Muenzner]

I am the architect
fabricate lies
I am an arsonist
that builds and destroys life

damnation forever

I, the forge master shall nullify
make void with the flood









Architect Or Arsonist

The Carnage of Infinite Black
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

I feel no warmth inside
my body is no more
hardened skin
frozen heart
an empty soul

the earnings of a lifetime 
on this putrid world
is in the air we breathe

breathe it in for years and years
exhaust the fumes of the living

I realize I am at the thrown of judgement
the only future I foresee 
I will not bow down to the chosen one
the only future I foresee
I will make him bow to me

[solo]

rise my minions armed with darkness
rise before me
all sacrifices will be made for my victory

I am the voice of the apocalypse
the carnage will overwhelm the gates of heaven
the damned of the deadly seven will spare not one
not one shall be spared

[solo]

there is no warmth inside
my aura is no more
callused mind
frozen time
an empty thrown

the earnings of a millennia in time
is absolute misery

[solo]

observe the carnage of infinite black 

The Carnage Of Infinte Black

Purged and Forgotten
[Music and Lyrics by Malcolm Pugh]

roaming the halls of the wasteland
watching the mindless bodies decay
this place is a prison
with only one way to escape

disintegration of the mind
surge of anxiety 
cannot compute mental decomposing 

raging dementia apprehending sanity
false awakenings endlessly compromising  

purged and forgotten
soaked in disdain

mass psychosis drawing near
frayed and ashamed 
paralyzed in decrepit skin
soiled by the stains in which they make

let death grip them with destiny
do not make haste to resuscitate 

[solo]

bastardized in a shell they wait
for animalized intervention 
protect not from afterlife
eternal sleep thou shall create

roaming the halls of the wasteland
watching the mindless bodies decay
wandering adrift to the mind's dismay
this place is a prison
with only one way to escape
age lest bestow salvation on the soul

on your knees praying at the death bed of a kindred spirit
eternally they must not sleep
futile request
portrait less walls availing to sorrow and agony
casually cast away

embellished by the apparatus life is blossoming
potions drip into the vein 
a vain attempt to wash soiled hands clean

And Darkness Was Cast (Viewtiful Joe Version)

Cyborg Renegade

ALR - New Material Test

A LOATHING REQUIEM, a Technical Death Metal project, originally conceived as a experiment, was born in early 2007. Shortly after, Malcolm Pugh, the creator of A LOATHING REQUIEM, recorded several instrumental demos, incorporating brutal and punishing riffs that were also intelligent and catchy. Instantly building interests from the masses upon its release in 2008, the overwhelming demand for full album was undeniable.
In 2009, A LOATHING REQUIEM recorded it's full-length debut entitled 'Psalms Of Misanthropy.' With its highly anticipated release on June 2010 it has become the first of many releases of the up and coming independent label, The Artisan Era. This is just the beginning for A LOATHING REQUIEM as it pursues its quest to be a dominant entity in the Tech/Death genre.
