Meeting Satan – "The Nine Circles" - The narrator finally meets Satan, pleads for escape, only to realize… they never left.

Lyrics:
[Prologue]
“You wandered so far…”
“Endured so much…”
“And now, at last, you stand before me.”
“But tell me… where did you think you were?”

[Verse 1]
"I have seen the flames, I have felt the weight,
"Walked through shadows, cursed my fate.
"I beg release, I beg escape…
"Let me rise—let me wake!"

[Pre-Chorus]
"Step by step… deeper you tread…"
"Every turn… led by the dead…"
"Is this Hell… or something worse?"

[Chorus]
“YOU NEVER LEFT—YOU NEVER FELL!”
“THIS ISN’T HELL—YOU KNOW IT WELL!”
“LOOK AROUND—SEE THE FLAMES!”
“TELL ME NOW—WHAT HAS CHANGED?”

[Verse 2]
"Every sin, every crime,
"Every circle, every sign.
"I thought I fell, I thought I burned…
"But I was blind—I never learned."

[Pre-Chorus 2]
"Step by step… deeper you tread…"
"Every turn… led by the dead…"
"Is this Hell… or something worse?"
"A cycle cursed… a world perverse…"

[Chorus 2 ]
“YOU NEVER LEFT—YOU NEVER FELL!”
“THIS ISN’T HELL—YOU KNOW IT WELL!”
“LOOK AROUND—SEE THE FLAMES!”
“TELL ME NOW—WHAT HAS CHANGED?”

“NO GODS ABOVE—NO DEVILS BELOW!”
“ONLY LIES—AND YOU SHOULD KNOW!”

“YOU NEVER LEFT—YOU NEVER FELL!”
“THIS ISN’T HELL—YOU KNOW IT WELL!”
“LOOK AROUND—SEE THE FLAMES!”
“TELL ME NOW—WHAT HAS CHANGED?”

“NO GODS ABOVE—NO DEVILS BELOW!”
“ONLY LIES—AND YOU SHOULD KNOW!”

[The Breakdown]
“YOU WALKED THE NINE—BUT NEVER LEFT!”
“HELL ISN’T BELOW—IT’S WHERE YOU STEPPED!”

“BREATHE IT IN—YOUR FINAL BREATH!”
“LOOK AROUND—THIS IS DEATH!”

“EVERY WAR—EVERY CRIME!”
“EVERY LIE—EVERY TIME!”
“EVERY FLAME—EVERY CHAIN!”
“HELL IS HERE—IT’S ALL THE SAME!”

[The Final Words]
"You begged to leave… but open your eyes…
"This Hell… was always home."

[Guitar Solo]

[Expanded Chorus]
“YOU NEVER LEFT—YOU NEVER FELL!”
“THIS ISN’T HELL—YOU KNOW IT WELL!”
“LOOK AROUND—SEE THE FLAMES!”
“TELL ME NOW—WHAT HAS CHANGED?”

“NO GODS ABOVE—NO DEVILS BELOW!”
“ONLY LIES—AND YOU SHOULD KNOW!”

“EVERY LIE—EVERY CRIME!”
“EVERY LIE—EVERY TIME!”
“EVERY FLAME—EVERY CHAIN!”
“HELL IS HERE—IT’S ALL THE SAME!”

"You begged to leave… but open your eyes…
"This Hell… was always home."

“EVERY LIE—EVERY TIME!”
“EVERY LIE—EVERY CHAIN!”

“I HAVE LOOKED AROUND—THIS IS DEATH!”
"I BEG RELEASE, I BEG ESCAPE!
“HELL IS HERE—IT’S ALL THE SAME!”
THIS IS DEATH!” (THIS IS DEATH!)
THIS IS DEATH...

[Outro]
“No heaven, no escape…
“Only fire… only fate…
“The lies you lived… become your chains.”
“Hell was home… all along.”

THIS IS DEATH...

“No heaven, no escape…
“Only fire… only fate…
“The lies you lived… become your chains.”
“Hell was home… all along.”

The Nine Circles

Un EP expérimental sur un mix de rock, de grunge, de glam, le tout aux tendances metal(core) 

Sharks

I struck the match, watched my whole past collapse,
Empty pages in my diary, memories redact.
Everybody ghosted, but that’s on me and what I lack.
Fam cut ties, bridges burned, massive cracks.
Don’t fuckin’ ask, I’m drowning, lungs collapse.
My life is a body bag, zipped up, only black.

-Chorus-
Face the devil with this dagger; eyes locked, fitna clash.
He attacks, ribs cracked, heart bleedin’, deep gash ->
Counter attack, I stab back, make it rain; bloodbath.
Fuckin’ mid, motherfucker. Gut pierced. Got him down. Bad.
Bro slashes, breathin’ fire. Scarred up. Won’t heal back.
On one knee, bleedin’ out. High key, run up on ’em fast.
Fitna pass out but I cut deep, make his fuckin’ lungs collapse.
We charge for the final blow. 
This is my comeback!


They had my burial, no funeral. In the depths, my life began.
Now I’m a thousand miles away, I thought I had motion.
Leaky life raft, rough waters, deep ocean.
Holy fuck! Man overboard! 
Fuck that shit I’m drownin’!
Save me from these waves, can’t fight ’em, Newton’s Law wins.
Fever dreams, many options, don’t know what’s important.
So many fucking options, still searching for ambition.
Locked out on this splintered terrace, I’m fitna jump, free fallin’.
So deep underwater, no one can hear me no more.
Straight fucked in this bitch...
Lost the war.
Bruh, it’s like I don’t know who I am anymore!

Lost my soul, left it rotting on the seafloor.


Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Long for the days when the one you love stays there.

-Chorus-
Face the devil with this dagger; eyes locked, fitna clash.
He attacks, ribs cracked, heart bleedin’, deep gash.
Counter attack, I stab back, make it rain; bloodbath.
Fuckin’ mid, motherfucker. Gut pierced. 
Got him down. Bad.
Bro slashes, breathin’ fire. Scarred up. Won’t hold back.



Empty home, empty pride, and hollow inside.
Every choice I made felt like slow suicide.
Bodies on the floor but it’s me crucified,
Fever dreams bled red, nowhere left to hide,
Knee deep in the shit. No one left. Can’t confide.
My name forgotten. My presence denied.
Kept tellin’ myself: “From this, you’ll never survive.”
Watch me flip tha script. Though I’m barely alive!

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Long for the days when the one you love stays there.

Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
Long for the days when the one you love stays there.

-Chorus-
Face the devil with this dagger; eyes locked, fitna clash.
He attacks, ribs cracked, heart bleedin’ 
Don't go.
Blade in this hand
This the final draw.
Push past my limits. Time to end it. Strike true! I collapse, but made the fucker fall!
I get up and stumble forward. Nothing can stop me any more.
Yet as I walk this new path, I wonder if these trials mean "us", at all!

THIS IS MY COMEBACK!

Bet, I've walked through fire.
Stood out in the rain.
And I've been reminded.
That I have everything to gain.

So let me tell you what's up.
I persevered through the pain.
If you hit rock bottom. 
Find something you love.
And you'll be repaid.
Find the things you love.
You'll never fall again.

THIS IS MY FUCKING COMBACK!
ONLY MYSELF IN MY WAY!
AND IF ANY TRIES TO STOP ME,
THEY WILL CURSE THAT DAY!

I WILL FUCK THEM UP!

This Is My Comeback?

Symphonic metal powerhouse with shredding guitar solos

The Rage

Killer Ethic was born in 2001 out of raw chaos — a four-piece metalcore act inspired by Mushroomhead and Slipknot. After rehearsing in a strip club and later a small house, the band tracked dozens of brutal demos on a Tascam 4-track, but never made it to the stage. Addiction and conflict tore it apart in 2003, leaving only rough tapes and fading memories.
Now in 2025, those long-lost demos have been resurrected through AI. Reimagined in Suno Studio, Killer Ethic rises again — darker, heavier, and more wicked than ever.

🎵 Track Description (for “Get Wicked”)

Get Wicked is the return of Killer Ethic — a savage death/metalcore resurrection born from old 4-track demos and remade in Suno Studio. This track embodies the band’s original vision: Slipknot-style screams, bone-crushing riffs, and unrelenting chaos. Twenty-two years after collapse, the ethic lives on.
