Dethcore – Atomic Death
Atomic Death is a full-length melodic death metal concept album documenting the collapse of global stability, the escalation into total war, and the irreversible outcome of mutually assured destruction. Beginning with political unrest and the death of peace, the album follows the countdown to launch, the moment of detonation, and the world that survives when it never should have.
This record does not search for lessons or redemption. It depicts inevitability, escalation, and consequence in blunt detail. Missiles launch. Cities burn. The sky turns white. Fire gives way to ash, radiation, mutation, and a poisoned existence where survival becomes a punishment rather than a victory.
The final act explores the aftermath: a silent, broken world filled with fallout, sickness, and those left behind wishing the blast had taken them too. Atomic Death is not about blame or morality — it is about outcome.
A bonus memorial track honors the life and legacy of legendary drummer Marcel Dube, immortalizing his impact on music and the rhythm he left behind.
No hope.
No reset.
Just extinction, aftermath, and the cost of continuing to breathe.


Tasmanian Devil (In Memory of Marcel Dube)

This song is a powerful anthem for self-reliance, integrity, and long-term growth in a world that often rewards the illusion of success. The repetition of the chorus drives home that real life, character, and achievement aren't transactional—they're earned, not purchased.

Built, Not Bought

I’ve seen the shortcuts
They all collapse the same way

Everybody selling instant depth
Pre-packed meaning, overnight steps
Swipe for purpose, click for pride
Rent a voice, wear it outside
But nothing solid came express
No spine built from readiness
I watched loud confidence rot out
Turns out weight don’t come by shout

You can dress it up, frame it loud
But gravity knows what’s built, not bought

This life’s built, not bought
No receipt for the ground I’ve walked
No shortcuts through the cost
I paid in time, I paid in thought
Yeah, it’s built, not bought
Every scar taught me what it’s worth
You can keep the shine you got
I’ll keep what holds under the dirt

I’ve seen values flip with the season
Watched beliefs bend without reason
Everybody preaching authentic
But panics soon as it gets expensive
I trust the hands that learned slow
Muscle memory, steady flow
If you want roots, you dig, you stay
You don’t manifest them anyway

No borrowed fire, no rented voice
Character shows up as a choice

This life’s built, not bought
No receipt for the ground I’ve walked
No shortcuts through the cost
I paid in time, I paid in thought
Yeah, it’s built, not bought
Every scar taught me what it’s worth
You can keep the shine you got
I’ll keep what holds under the dirt

Everybody chasing proof they matter
Posting faster, burning faster
I slowed down till the noise went thin
Found out who I was when nobody clapped again
No audience, no borrowed name
Just showing up, again and again
Funny thing about staying power
It doesn’t look like power
Until it does

This life’s built, not bought
No hype strong enough to replace the cost
I don’t need the crowd’s applause
I know what I carried, I know what it cost
Yeah, it’s built, not bought
And it holds when the trends fall apart
You can keep what looks like a start
I’ll keep what lasts past the spark

No refunds
No shortcuts
Just work that holds

Built, Not Bought
