Lyrics:

What's left, without the means to build on our philosophy? 
What's right? When all this time you feigned on what you swore?
The inner light will set you free
Tear through these bounds parting the sea
 
Just what defines me
I'll never know
I can't keep breathing
And that is all because...
 
Oh, can you feel it now?
We're heading nowhere
lost in perdition
(Oh, can you feel?)
 
So just embrace it now
Feel all emotion
take hold of you
(Now this is real)
 
Hold on tight, as we
Ride through purgatory
 
Oh can't you hear the voice inside?
Repeating all the words we could say
Between celestial apartheid
In emptiness I yearn for a way

What's left, without a second wind to make it possible? 
What's right? With every turn you make this world your own
Everything you hold make believe
Deceives the eyes we use to see

Riding Through (Demo Version)

Lyrics:

It's burning deep in my mind
Choking on supremacy
A potency undefined
Reaching out to me
 
In spite of all that I find
laden with intimacy
A raw detail unrefined
Indecisively
 
(So tell me) why should I
give up on my martyrdom now?

(So tell me) when in time
will I become a whole again?
 
Show me the blinding light that guides
and in the darkness turns the tides
I get this feeling there's a higher being
watching over me
Undeniably
 
Show me the path that I must follow
Run through the bounds that make me hollow
I get this feeling that I’ll never change
always stay the same
with myself to blame

It's melting into my soul
And bleeding insanity
Afraid I'll lose all control
Slipping from morality

Whole Again (Demo Version)

Lyrics:

Now we dance with the devil inside
In discretion to the mark of disorder
Once bitten, twice shy
I'm regretting the same ills over and over again
 
But the memories remain
Fear is waking over me
The devil looms inside, divine
 
He sits in waiting softly nurtured by his song
maturing in the body and the soul
 
I've made some big mistakes before
but don't judge me when you're not so perfect yourself
and all these changes make me easy to loathe,
but I am not somebody to fuck
 
I know my reasons for admissions to guilt
I took an oath and swore I'd never turn again
But I burned down all the bridges that we'd built
And the moment that you left my life I lived a lie
 
And in my mind I know I'm bound to these chains
A chance to let go will be coming, but I don't know when
You know there's never a way to clear these blood stains
My attempts are weak, so I won't even fucking try
 
God, I ask for forgiveness
'cause I've sinned too many times
I don't appreciate the gift I've been given
a most pitiful crime
 
Lost within my selfish ways,
I couldn’t move mountain
Now I blame myself for all disdain
(Just leave me alone)
 
Filled with spoils of the wicked
it's a glass on the table to be consumed

A cocktail of poison and sin
stealing all your desires, not to be (no more)

Devil Inside (Demo Version)

Lyrics: 

So, you hate what you've become
In your mind you’ve come undone
But you and I are bound to be one

Let green fill your eyes
To beat what you despise
From ashes straight up to the skies

You’ve got something to prove
But nothing more to lose
You’re holding on to all the things you once refused
 
You say you wanna change the world
Well, first change what's inside
For all you know, our minds coincide
 
Gaining the possessions we all crave
Salvation from an early grave
Departing from the life you claimed to save
 
Look beyond the boundaries
This vessel you have found
Is nothing but a crutch to the emptiness inside
 
Perception full of fears
Leaves no space for dreams
But in the end, does it even matter?
Does it justify the means?

See the path that you have chosen broken beneath your feet
Now listen to the real saviour, written in concrete
 
And when all is said and done
The only thing on your mind
Is where our thoughts collide
 
Through all these gruelling days and sleepless nights
We'll dominate our own messed up paradise

Now, accept dependence of another kind
How? Reveal the darkness, open up your mind

Justify The Means (Demo Version)

Lyrics:

I'm...
A shadow in surroundings
A lurker in the deep
Reaping all you've sown
But when you feel it...

Oh by God, how you see the flash of light
Burning deep within your very soul
Pushing out the truth with all its might
Left to the mind, it takes its toll

Time will always tell
Reflecting chaos' bounds
The path that leads to nowhere
Healing all along

You're waiting all alone
No emotion ever shown
Redemption never comes
Falling through the hour glass,
Time will tell

You envy the power to be what you're not: 
The mist that derails from the truth.

I'm the darkness that blinds. The bleakness of black.
The thing that deceives and consumes innocence.

Time
Will tell
What's next
in line

So now
You know
This peace
Of mind

(Oh by God I see the flash of light)
(Burning deep within my very soul)

The Molecular Level (Demo Version)

Lyrics:

And the light begins to fade
Blotting out all that life has made

HEAR ME NOW!

The frame of my essence
Burns before my eyes
Under affliction's curse
The spirit rots and dies

Never thought of a good reason
To exert my life for pain
Wicked vice I lay my life on
No ascendancy to gain
(In silence, I divide)

Forever lost inside my mind
Illusive walls that keep me blind

I always thought this life would be somewhat benign
But now it seems as though my flaws are my design...

And now I know of all the imperfections I have been given 
that are built into me

Handed down from generations of conflict, 
the very lifeblood of this child is at stake

Coalescence (Demo Version)

Lyrics:

I once thought I had it all and everything I'd ever need
Was right here at my feet

Maybe it's a sign, a mirror of shining hope?
All the reflections in the water tell a different story
 
Could you walk a mile in my shoes?
Or cross the bridges that I've straggled along?
When the odds are stacked so high on you
would you have the strength to see it through?

Now is the time to read between the lines
To see out far in horizons beyond all God's known glory.
 
Left with open wounds, it's made a man out of me
The only calling to arms for me... is the beckoning quest to defeat myself
Submission to my demons... is a relief from the pain that you cause me
A Shotgun to the back of the head is the only alternative... (that I have)

Please don't leave me with my mind
 
Won't you save us from ourselves?
Denial hinders foundations to build
And when we're incomplete, vital signs seem to fade away
The meaning to live, to breath has gone against all I have willed

Maybe it's a sign, a mirror of shining hope?
All the reflections in the water tell a different story
They speak to me on levels far beyond unknown
But none have meaning, guess I'll have to work it out alone

When Conscience Calls (Demo Version)

DEBUT ALBUM/MERCH OUT NOW: http://constructband.bigcartel.com/

REFLECTION OFFICIAL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeKeRBIs83PJVG6xgv9JkxA

Construct are a 5-piece metal outfit from Stoke-on-Trent, formed in early 2015.

In early 2013, Construct started out as a group of music enthusiasts Richard Howle (Guitars), Callum Howle (Vocals) and Sam Hunt (Drums) performing to Richard Howle's pre-composed solo project (dubbed ‘Xenogenocide’) music.

During early 2015, they joined forces with Mike Foxall (Guitars) to create the band everybody knows today as 'Construct', where they then began to work on their debut album and play shows across the country.

Come mid 2017, Sam Hardy (Bass) joined the band to complete Construct's line up.

Together, Construct bring soaring melodies and punchy riffs to a powerful and energetic performance, along with the very best that their table of talents have to offer. 

Construct’s first single, ‘Reflection’, was premiered on New Noise Magazine’s website in January prior to their debut album’s appearance and this had a brilliant reaction, helping to form their initial fan base. It received 4,000 views within the first month and was also uploaded to Djent Worldwide TV shortly after, where it acquired 3,000 views in the first month it was uploaded. The amount of views, comments, likes, etc on both uploads still continues to grow. The track was also featured in the ‘New Noise’ CD of Metal Hammer comeback issue of February 2017.

The band released their debut album, ‘The Deity’, on February 4th 2017. It received a fantastic response from the public through various forms of praise including reviews, write ups, magazine features, social media reaction, etc. Though the popularity of this album is still steadily increasing, they are currently working hard on their next release.

To support the release of 'The Deity', Construct put on an official album release show on February 18th 2017 at The Underground in Stoke-on-Trent and received support from local bands Inscriptions, Despoiled and 2 Years 2 Late. The show was a booming success, with over 150 people in attendance and plenty of crowd involvement!

Along the way, Construct have been lucky enough to share the stage with bands such as As Lions, Black Peaks, Obey, Warlord, Valis Ablaze, Griever and many more brilliant acts. They hope to expand this further throughout 2018 and push themselves as far as humanly possible.

“Their music is a melodic and modern form of Metal and Rock that combine the aggressive tunes and technique of Metalcore, Djent and modern tendencies on Metal (and even some harsh vocals) with melodies from Progressive Metal and Progressive Rock. It’s like you could join together PINK FLOYD, MESHUGGAH and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, but with personality. So their music is different from other bands, and this means a lot in a time like this one we are living now.”
