--- SURGEON ---

SPECULATING ON THE PRESENT YOU CONTINUE 
SPITTING IN THE FACE OF A LUCK
LOOKING ASIDE, MOVING BACKWARDS, THINKING DOWNWARDS
YOU STILL HOPE TO GET ON THE TRACK

POINTING WITH A FINGER TOWARDS THOSE WHO DISOBEY
THE RELIGION THAT CREATES SURVIVING CELL
YOU BARELY NOTICE ANY SIGNS IN YOUR WAY
THE HEAVEN HAS TRANSFORMED INTO HELL

THE FUTURE OF THE PAST IS THE BASIS OF FAITH  
THAT INDICATES A COMMON THINKING WAY
SELFISHNESS HAS BECOME A TRAIT OF CHARACTER
SERVED ON A CONFIDENCE TRAY

JUSTICE USED TO BE A SCUTTLEBUTT AS IT SEEMS
IN THE MOST CONVENIENT WAY
INDEPENDENCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AS A FRIEND 
HA HA HA, IT STILL DEPENDS

JUST AS AN OBSCENE TORTURE FEELS A SINGLE MIRACLE
EVERYBODY ELSE SEEMS LIKE AN ENORMOUS OBSTACLE
NO MORE FURTHER STEPS TO GET MORE AND MORE UNDERNEATH 
EVEN IF YOU TRIED AS HARD AS YOU DID SO FAR 

HUMILIATION IS CONSIDERED AS A NORMAL CRITICISM
BUT HOW MUCH OF THAT WOULD YOU TAKE?
THE CONTENT OF THE SAMPLE SIMPLY DOESN`T COUNT
`CAUSE IN THE END REMAINS NOTHING BUT FAKE

POINTING WITH A FINGER TOWARDS THOSE WHO DISOBEY
THE RELIGION WHAT CREATES SURVIVING CELL
YOU BARELY NOTICE ANY SIGNS IN YOUR WAY
THE HEAVEN HAS TRANSFORMED INTO HELL

--- BEST FRIEND ---

I HEAR THE VOICES BREATHING OPPORTUNITY
„ONE MORE” IS „THE LAST” SUPPOSED TO BE REALITY
CONSIDERED TO BE SO OBVIOUS
THE DEVIL HAS NEVER BEEN SO GENEROUS

WAIT UNTIL THE BLEEDING 
HAS BECOME A FRIEND
BLEED UNTIL THE SPINE OF TRUST 
HAS BEEN BENT

ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS A RELATED ONE
ANSWERS APPEAR AS INTERROGATIVE
NO ILLUSIONS UPON THE LIFE AS MEANT TO BE
SO SEPARATE HOPE DESIGNED FOR ALL WE SEE

Relicseed: Best Friend

--- POINTLESS GRAVITY ---

POISON IS THE NAME OF A PILL 
I`VE ALWAYS TAKEN FOR THE ONLY LIVING PROOF 
NEVER-ENDING TENDING TO THE PAIN 
BECOMING AS A SPINE OF EXISTENCE TRUTH
ALWAYS ARTIFICIAL SMILE THAT 
COVERS THE UGLIEST ANGER`S FACE
THE POWER TAKEN OUT OF THE FAIL IS SOMETHING 
THAT IS OUT OF THIS SPACE

LOVING AS A PROCESS IS THE BEST BRAIN CATACLYSM 
FEATURING THE SOUL AS THE PAST
WAITING IS A TERM WITHOUT A CARING 
`BOUT YOURSELF AS A BODY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL FAST
TRUSTING IS A JUDAS KISS MISTAKEN FOR THE 
PLEASURE MADE OF PASSION TO THE GREATEST LIVING ART
EVERY SINGLE STONE HAS HEART WHO HATES 
THE FEELING WHEN IT`S THROWN APART

POINTLESS GRAVITY SPELLS RIGHT
THE NAMELESS DECISION POINTING 
THE ENDLESS RUNAWAY 
FEARLESS INSANITY SEEKS FOR
THE SHELTER UNDER THE WORLD 
I DON`T WANT TO STAY IN (X2)

ANGER IS THE OUTCOME OF THE STRUGGLE BEING CAUSED 
BY FRUSTRATING FEELING CALLED THE SHAME
DISASTROUS, UGLY, HELPLESS, WICKED, BORED, ASHAMED 
THE BODY LOST A GAME WITHOUT A NAME
DAMAGE DONE TO SOUL ACCORDING TO THE SCHEME 
THAT REPRESENTS THE THINKING OF A MASS
IT`S LEADING DOWN TO HELL WITH NO REMORSE 
YOU`LL MISS THE MOMENT WHEN YOU PASS

OH, WHAT A FEELING IS RISING INSIDE
WELL, I DON`T KNOW HOW TO SHOUT IT OUTSIDE
I`VE BEEN PRAYING TO BECOME 
AS WISE TO MAKE DEMONS HIDE
I`M STILL WILLING TO MAKE 
MOMENT TO FEEL AS A LIFE

--- MARY BETH ---

LOADS OF HUMAN FEELINGS WERE KNOWN AS PATTERN
OVERLOADING BRAIN AS THE CONTROL
VERSUS PRIOR SCREENING PATH I`LL CHOOSE THE DIFFERENT WAY
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT SINCE NOW

MORNING BROUGHT THIS DIFFERENT FEELING INSIDE 
OF THE STEREOTYPICAL SHELL
ROUGH LOOKED THE FACE UNDER SHADOWS BUT IN THE
END I FIGURED OUT HOW TO SPELL

BARELY CAN I REMEMBER SEEING WHEN 
EVEN A DOG HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE
EVOLUTION HAS CHANGED DOWN TO THE CORE
RIGHT AFTER THAT IT FEELS IN THIS PLACE

MOTHER – SHE PRAYS
FOR YOU TODAY EVER SINCE
GIVING IS AN INSTINCT YOU FEEL
LOVE IS FOR FREE – YOU DON`T NEED TO STEAL
WHEREVER YOU GO
WHATEVER YOU DO

--- BROTHERS` TEARS ---

HIDE AND SEEK AROUND THE WORLD
TOO SMALL, TOO WEAK TO FIND THE WORD
WE GATHER HERE TO PRAY FOR PEACE
BODIES BURN TO PLANT THE SEED

THE SURFACE MELTS ASIDE THE MIND
FLAMES ARE KISSING EMPTY THOUGHTS
NO MORE SHELTER DO WE FIND
BROTHERS` TEARS ROLL DOWN FOR ROOTS

FASHION SPELLS THE POTENT GREED
ABANDONED HUMAN FEELINGS FEED
THE SUFFOCATION WHAT IS AGREED
TO BE THE NORMAL WAY TO PROCEED

WE WILL NOT SURRENDER
MOANING`S NOT AN ESCAPE
THE FAITH IS THE DEFENDER
DISGRACE WE WILL NOT STAND

Relicseed: Brothers' Tears

--- SLAUGHTERHOUSE ---

THE BODY`S RESTING COLLAPSED AS A PIECE OF A SCRAP
THEY GOT A NOTICE OF FAITH IN A SUBSEQUENT WAY
“DEAR PARENTS! PLEASE, CALM DOWN! THERE`S NO REASON TO OBJECT
WE DID IT WITH CARE, SO IT`S ALL TO BE CLEAR”

AGONY IS WHAT THEY GET AS A PRIZE
FOR BEING DESPERATE IN FRONT OF THE LIFE
INFINITY IS WHAT IS USED TO BUILD THE SIZE 
OF A FEELING THAT THERE`S NO PLACE TO HIDE
FREAKS, YOU KNOW – THEY WILL BE SORTED OUT
	
POINTING TO EACH OTHER MAKING NONSENSE OF ANYTHING ASKED
YOU FORGOT TO DRINK THE BLOOD OF A CHILD WHO JUST PASSED
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT THAT YOU RECEIVE FROM BEING EXECUTIONER?
WHAT IF YOU JUST TURN FROM A HUNTER TO THE KILL OF A SHOOTER?

PRICELESS IS ONE`S LIFE UPON THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH
TOO EXPENSIVE IS TO SAVE A CHILD YOU BETTER STOP TO SEE HOW HE DIES
WHERE DID DISAPPEAR THE PROMISE THAT IT WAS NOT A DISEASE?
YOU WILL RESPOND IN FRONT OF THYSELF ON YOUR KNEES

SICKNESS STANDS FOR THE LOCAL MERCHANT COST, YES
PRICELESS SEEMS THE MARTYR PAIN BUT
HOPELESS THOUGHTS APPEAR WAITING FOR YOUR TURN
YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THE TRAIN
FREAKS, YOU KNOW – THEY WILL BE SORTED OUT

--- QUEEN ---

FACING THE SOLITUDE – THE KINGDOM IS LEADING DOWN
CHEATER OF THE MASTER`S SOUL MUST BE IDENTIFIED
PROMISES WERE MADE TO KEEP BUT 
SHOWING OFF BROKE THE CROWN 
MEMBERS OF THE COURT START YELLING LOUD 
NO COMPROMISE 

READY TO SMASH WITH A STREAMER OF FAKE
HUMANITY FAILED AS A TRAIT – FOR GOD`S SAKE!
TRYING TO TURN EMPTINESS INTO GOLD
TOO SHY TO BE HONEST – THE SOUL HAS BEEN SOLD

ROOTS OF SANITY – OH, POOR HERITAGE
BOOTS OF ARROGANCE RIP OPEN ALONG THE SEAMS
ARMOR MADE OF FEAR, IDYLLIC COMPLEX ROUT
CRAWL AS FAST AS YOU CAN – WE`RE COMING BACK

GRATITUDE BORN AS A PRAY, MADE AS A SCALE
BETRAYAL VALUED AS STRENGTH – FORECAST OF FAIL
HAVE BURNED DOWN A CHURCH MAKES THE FEELING 
BELIEF HAS BEEN KILLED
THE OPACITY TAKEN FOR QUEEN 
BROUGHT BY THE INSANE

--- DOMESTIC DEVIL ---

DOLLARS, VIOLENCE, HEALTHY STOMACH
SUPER POWER-IMAGE MELT
BAG OF BONES, ROAMING SNOUT
SYMPATHY IS NEVER FELT

TOO WEAK THE LAMBS ARE SAWING AIR
SHELLFISH COURAGE, HELPLESSNESS
DETERMINATION SWINGING RARE
CREATURE YELLING ENDLESSNESS

DOMESTIC DEVIL FEEDS THE SOUL
FRUSTRATING BRAINWORK TICKLING DEATH 
WHAT MAKES THEM FEEL THE PATH TO GOAL
ILLUSTRATING SINKING BREATH 

DISGUISE – IT WON`T RELIEVE
YOU`RE DEAD IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE 
THE FIGHT IS “FOR” BUT NOT “AGAINST”
YOU`LL NEVER LIVE THE TIME YOU WASTE

YOU DON`T GET SATISFACTION UNTIL
THE WHOLE WORLD LIES UNDER YOUR WILL
YOUR MONEY AND YOUR WEALTH – THAT`S THE PILL
WHAT CREATES THE SENSE YOU`VE GOT THE RIGHTS TO KILL

--- LOONEY TUNES ---

COLORFUL CARTOON HEROES APPEAR ON THE MIND
BUT NO LOONEY TUNES ARE ON AIR
POWERFUL LANDLORDS ARE ASSUMED TO BE FOUND
BUT NO KINGDOM`S AROUND

SACRED SECRET PROPAGANDA IS FILLED IN THE BRAIN
AS THE FUTURE OF THE MANKIND
POORNESS HAS LED INTO PORN THAT SHOWS
HOW TO BECOME INTELLECTUALLY BLIND

THE EASIEST STATE OF THE MANIPULATION
STERILIZED CHAOS INCOMPLETE
BROADCAST OF A MASS CONVERGENCE WAS MADE
TO CREATE THE SOCIAL COLOR-BLINDNESS BASE

HYPNOTIC SEEM THE SYMBOLS BEING INTRODUCED BY
THE PRIME UPPER HUMAN RACE
CERTAIN ROLES, DEPENDENT RULES, LOONY STAMPS
WILL BE SMASHED RIGHT INTO YOUR FACE

ANOTHER EARTH IS BEING INVENTED TO COMPLETE
THE SICKNESS OF THE SO CALLED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
SOLDIERS ARE PICKED FROM THE KINDER GARDEN
AND MADE TO CREEP UPON THE NUCLEAR FENCE 

MINDS ARE BEING TREATED IN ORDER TO AWAKE
THE CRIPPLES WHO`VE BEEN GIVEN A POWER OVERDOSE 
SOME OF THE ADDICTED COULD STILL BE SAVED
BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

NOW IS THE TIME WHEN IT SEEMS WE SHOULD GET AT LEAST
ONE FURTHER NOTICE OF FAITH
HOW COULD THAT BEAUTY SO SUDDENLY TRANSFORM INTO A BEAST
WHO RUINED ALL WE DID CREATE

WE COULD REMAIN AS FRIENDS EVEN THOUGH 
THERE ARE NO SMILING FACES AT ALL
ARTIFICIAL OVERPOWER, MULTICULTURAL WAR FOR PEACE
ANYWAY – THESE VALUES SHALL FALL

--- SERIAL LEADER ---

HERE WE GO! 

IN FRONT OF THE JUSTICE
I`VE NEVER FELT SO GORGEOUS AND BRAVE
WITHOUT A SELECTION ONE BY ONE
I SENT THEM RIGHT INTO THE GRAVE

THE MORE I GET TO SEE, THE MORE I BELIEVE
THE WORLD REALLY NEEDS A CURE
THE MORE YOU`LL TRY TO CUT THE STEPS
THE HEAVIER BECOMES THE SWORD 
IN FATHER`S HAND 

I WILL STRIP YOU TO THE BONE
WOULD PREFER TO EAT YOU ALONE
I WILL STRIP YOU TO THE BONE
WOULD PREFER TO EAT YOU ALONE

I WAS BORN TO LEAD THE BRANCH OF DEATH
BLOOD WILL FEED YOUR EVERY SINGLE BREATH 
HUMAN RACE – IT NEEDS A STACK OF PAIN
LEADER IS THE MASTER

DIFFERENT EARTH – DO YOU SEE?
LIGHTNING PLANTS PUNISHMENT SEED 
FRIGHTENED EYES – BETTER KEEP `EM SHUT
DREAMING OF NEW LIVES TO CUT

DISBELIEVERS – TIME IS RUNNING OUT
THE BULLET`S ON ITS WAY TO THE BRAIN
JUDGEMENT DAY – IT`S HERE FOR SORTING OUT
IT MAKES YOUR SINGLE MUSCLE TO STRAIN

YOU CAN TRY TO RUN, EVEN TRY TO HIDE
THE SPIRIT OF A BEAST MAKES ME LAUGH
I WILL SPIT INTO YOUR WIDE OPENED EYES
LIVES ARE JUST TOYS IN MY HANDS

Relicseed: Serial Leader

Relicseed, founded in 2004 in Latvia, made their mark with style-defining tracks “Bailes” and “Pēdējais Vergs” in 2007, both of which received immediate airplay on local SWH Rock Station. Their debut 60 Minūtes Sapņa (“60 Minutes of a Dream”) followed in 2010, paving the way for international recognition. In 2011, the band played its first shows in the UK and Germany and made its U.S. live debut at San Francisco’s Metallibash: 3 Decades of Damage, before heading to Burbank, CA in 2012 to record Slaughterhouse at Tranzformer Studios with the late Bryan Carlstrom behind the desk.

Since then, Relicseed has toured extensively across Europe, the USA, and Japan, sharing stages with acts like Testament, TYR, Mushroomhead, Sirenia, Dethklok to name a few. Their discography includes three albums “60 Minūtes Sapņa” (2010), “Slaughterhouse” (2014), and “Ideoloģija” (2017). “Slaughterhouse” earned the band the Independent Music Award (USA, 2015) for Best Metal/Hardcore Album, while “Ideoloģija” won Latvia’s Golden Microphone (2018) for Best Rock or Metal Album.

In 2024, Relicseed marked their 20th anniversary with a major show at Palladium Riga and released the single “The Difference.” The following year brought new singles “Neitrālais” and “Taisnība,” further outlining the sonic direction of the band’s upcoming studio album.
