Call to the Warrior

Anywhere But Here - rise against

Slice The Cake is an intercontinental progressive deathcore trio formed in 2009. Gareth Edwards (England), Jonas Johansson (Sweden), and Magero Richardson's (Australia) make up this fantastic band. This song still remains one of my favorites along with Siren's Song.

Lyrics:
When you said you were lost
I couldn't help but feel
Like I had to find you

And rescue you
From the shadows that took you,
Lest you be consumed.

I don't need to be found,
These shadows are my blanket.
I'm wrapped up safe and sound.

I don't need your love
To guide my way home.
I'll be fine on my own.

This is not the way.
We can use our love to heal us both
I promise, I promise.

This is not the way.
We could have bliss if we wanted
If not for being foolish.

We could use our love to heal us both
I promise, I promise.

Why won't you let me in?
Your gaze leaves me cold,
I want to feel your warmth.

I'll hold you at arms length
As long as I need to,
'til I'm left well alone.

Why do you hide away?
Away from all that could be,
Away from all that is?

I'm not fit to love,
I'll only go and drag you down
Into the shadows where I lay.

This is not the way.
We can use our love to heal us both
I promise, I promise.

This is not the way.
We could have bliss if we wanted
If not for being foolish

We could use our love to heal us both
I promise, I promise.

Let me go,
Let me go,
Let me go,
I'm learning how to love.

Why won't you listen to me?
We could pass this fractal exam.
Why won't you listen to me?
We could bloom together.

Slice The Cake - Fractal Exam Sequence

Metamorphosis is an unflinching chronicle of transformation — the shedding of an old self, the breaking of chains, and the raw rebirth that follows. It’s an album forged in the tension between ruin and renewal, capturing the violent beauty of change through soaring anthems, haunting ballads, and unrelenting riffs.

Every track is a step in the evolution — from the first tear in the skin of the past to the breath of new air in a body finally made its own. The lyrics cut deep, tracing scars as maps of survival, while the music swells with both the weight of what was lost and the urgency of what’s to come.

The sound is visceral and atmospheric, blending grit with vulnerability — rust and ash giving way to light and heat. It is the sound of old worlds collapsing underfoot, of mirrors shattering, of truths finally worn without disguise.

This is not just an album about change. It is the soundtrack of becoming — the death of the past, the rebirth of the heart, and the fearless step into an unknown self.

Metamorphosis isn’t about who you were.
It’s about who you fight to become.
