A harrowing soundtrack to the downfall of civilization, Collapse of the Human Era is a relentless descent into war, corruption, and decay. From crimson battlefields soaked in blood to the poisoned veins of a rotting society, each track tells a chapter of humanity’s self-inflicted demise. The echoes of lost cultures fade into the void, while famine and oppression tighten their grip on the powerless. Marching through wastelands of ruin, the last remnants of once-great empires crumble into dust beneath blackened skies. As the final collapse looms, the weight of greed, destruction, and despair seals the fate of a world beyond salvation. Crushing riffs, haunting orchestrations, and apocalyptic intensity make this album an unflinching requiem for mankind’s last days.

Empires of Dust

(Verse 1a)  
In shadows cast by crumbling stone,  
A priestess stands, her heart turned to bone,  
Veiled in darkness, the sigils glow,  
Underneath the pyramids, where lost souls flow.
  
Her hands raised high, in whispered incantation,  
Invoking the ancient, a ghost's damnation.
Her hands raised high, in whispered incantation,  
Invoking the ancient, a ghost's damnation.

(Verse 1b)   
Anger roars like a tempest's cry,  
As the waters churn, and the stars align,  
A shadow spreads o’er the barren lands,  
While the priestess trembles, and destiny demands.
  
Eldritch whispers drown the cries of the weak,  
Fear gnaws at sanity, the abyss starts to speak.
Eldritch whispers drown the cries of the weak,  
Fear gnaws at sanity, the abyss starts to speak.

(Verse 2a)
In the heart of the storm, a gnashing, grinding sound,  
The walls of reality, crumbling, breaking down...
  
Paranoia weaves through the fabric of night,  
Ancient ones smile, evil delight.
  
Ravaged skies bleed a crimson hue,  
While sanity falters, and darkness breaks through.
The priestess screams, a chorus of dread,  
As Cthulhu rises from the eons of the dead.

Tentacles thrash, devouring the sun,  
With each crushing wave, the hunt has begun.
Humanity falls, like ashes in the wind,  
As the world succumbs to the horror within!

---------------------------------------------

(Verse 3a)
Cthulhu rise from the ocean's froth!! 
Awaken, horror, unleash your wrath!!  
From the depths of despair, chaos shall reign!!!  
Annihilation of mankind, only echoes remain!!!

(Verse 3b)
In a world turned to ruin, in silence we’ve lost!! 
The price of invokation, too great to bear the cost!!  
Cthulhu, the ancient, in triumph shall stand!! 
As the last breath of humanity, slips from the land!!

(Verse 3c)  
Darkness will rule, and terror will breed!!  
In the depths of the ocean, where nightmares feed!!
Darkness will rule, and terror will breed!! 
In the depths of the ocean, where nightmares feed!!

Human Meat Grinder - Invoking Cthulhu

Every chorus tells a tale of hope and every breakdown tells a tale of darkness – that’s the painfully sincere premise of latest metal output Savage Mountain from Dortmund, Germany. In a restless artistic endeavor, the threepiece spent the last two years working on their first EP “What Lies Beneath My Sorrow”. With it, singer Karl Erik aims to channel music into a form of diary writing – leaving no stone unturned in his attempt to understand his own story and dealing with the hardships of loneliness, despair and the never-ending search for identity.
