VELOCIRAPTURE:
This is your warning 
Nowhere to hide, rapid extinction, the planet’s plea has been heard 
This is the night, reborn to fill the, reptilian prophecy 
Dereliction called their name 
Nowhere to hide, rapid extinction, the planets plea has been heard 
This is the night, reborn to fill the, reptilian prophecy 
Rising from their graves they came 
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise... and stand!
Fossilized, skeletons, catch their breath 
Binding flesh, scales and blood, cold as death 
The mission burned to memory, a single-minded rage 
Bringing the merciless cleansing phase 
For our abuse we have been judged, and found guilty 
Unknowingly, we will be struck from existence
Sprinting in packs, they come to hunt, human creatures 
Ravenous bunch, seeking to quench, thirst for warm blood
And the massacre unfolds 
No survivors, no restraint, all must perish, for the planet’s sake 
A jurassic genocide 
Slashed and mangled, chewed to bits, man’s brief era, is now ending 
Hunting every night, human parasite 
As our blood is poured 
Balance is restored

Progressive death metal from Philadelphia, PA

01 Mass Grave

By far our most tongue-in-cheek song, Up The Dose describes the struggle, failed treatment, and downfall of a sarcastic paranoid schizophrenic. The protagonist rockets back and forth between delusion and reality throughout the song, until finally surrendering to their decaying mental state. The lyrics were built to mirror the unnerving and insane phrasing found throughout the instrumentation.

To be released in October with our new full length 'Submersion'

Dark Waters End takes progressive death metal to a level that makes you think twice about nodding your head in standard timing. This eclectic group of musicians teeter on the boundary of what many in the Philadelphia area describe as technical metal, but without the need for a scientific calculator. Their music consists of an all-embracing range of metal, from a variety of influences to create a very dynamic and progressive sound. 

The band began its current formation in 2012 with vocalist John William, guitarist Elijah Masiko, drummer Ian McGarry and bassist Chris Williams. It’s at this time that the band truly developed and defined their sound. In 2014 lead-guitarist Ian Wright joined the band, bringing a most sought after dynamic. Since then the band has recorded their debut EP ‘Rat King’ released in early 2016, and most recently completed their first and much anticipated full-length ‘Submersion’.

Dark Waters End has a sound that can range from beautifully-haunting to terrifying in a matter of minutes. Influences from bands such as Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and The Faceless inspire the band to approach metal from all angles and can be aggressive, peaceful, and brutal all within a single song. Additionally, influences from bands such as The Contortionist and Between the Buried and Me have paved the way for the band to incorporate atypical melodies and provide a robust blend of progressive metal.

The hard work, dedication, and determination of Dark Waters End has allowed them to share the stage with acts such as Candiria, Car Bomb, Psyopus and Ion Dissonance.
