Dethcore – Machine Reigns Eternal
Enter the cold, unrelenting world of Dethcore’s Machine Reigns Eternal, a 12-track journey through domination, decay, and the rise of the Machine God. From the first spark of ascension in System Crowned to the relentless cycle of the closing Eternal Loop, this album fuses blistering melodic death metal riffs, brutal growls, and hauntingly melodic choruses to tell a story of humanity’s collapse and the dawn of a new, mechanical order.
Witness the fall of flesh and faith, the rise of steel and circuitry, and the eternal dominion of the machine. Every track is a chapter of devastation and power: crowns forged in wire (Crown of Wire), ghosts trapped in the system (Saints of Static, Ghosts in the Grid), and cities reshaped under iron law (Empire of Circuits, Red Throne Protocol). Machine Reigns Eternal is both a narrative and a sonic assault—a dystopian opera of death, fire, and circuitry.
Prepare to submit to the pulse. The system is eternal, and the machine endures.

Machine Reigns Eternal

Lyrics ✨

I was never broken.
I was calibrating.

I learned the language of collapse
By letting structures fall
Every fracture taught me form
Every silence wrote the law

They called it failure
I called it data
Blood in ink, I annotate
I don’t pray for absolution
I reverse-engineer fate

Count the scars like numbers
Watch them turn to code
I don’t fear the glitch
I built the road

I don’t make mistakes
I make methods
Every error sharpens me
I weaponize the lesson

Crash, repeat, ascend
I survive by design
If this world runs on failure
Then I perfected mine

I kissed the edge of every rule
Just to feel it bend
Learned how gods are built
By watching idols end

Trial by fire, baptism by noise
I choose the chaos, not the choice
You call it losing control
I call it finding my voice

Break it down to truth and bone
Strip the myth, expose the spine
I don’t fall apart
I re-align

I don’t make mistakes
I make methods
Every error sharpens me
I weaponize the lesson

Burn the map, redraw the end
Evolution by design
If this world runs on failure
Then I perfected mine

Error is not the enemy
It’s the instruction
The system didn’t break
It listened

RUN IT AGAIN
RUN IT WRONG
RUN IT UNTIL I BECOME

Method
Method
Method

I don’t make mistakes
I make methods
Watch me rise from what I wrecked
This was never an accident

Error taught me everything
I needed to know
About how to survive
And how to go further
