Another favorite, and, one that also brings about quite a bit of reverence given the subject matter. Thusly, I decided to add further tribute to the source David said inspired him to write this song (a woman who survived execution during The Holocaust simply because she could play the cello), and included some additional solo cello parts and strings layered in with the guitars in honor of them. This song itself inspired a lot of feelings while writing the lyrics for one of my own bands tracks.

Like with "Starlight", melodic vocals are not tuned. Guitar solo is slightly different as I had some difficulty transcribing it, wanted to do something different, and ended up piecemealing the entire thing together. I definitely don't play that clean.

For legal: I am not Anaal Nathrakh. I am not Dave Hunt. I am not Mick Kenney. I am not Metal Blade Records. I am a fan simply paying tribute and finding outlet in someone else's creations.

Lyrics:
"In time and motion, in lines and rows
In sacred figures, to-do list grows
Cello exclusion, in feudal choice
In complete absence of human growth
Feeding the death machine
Worshiping banality
Children of the obscene
Tell them that it's all a game
An unperson of fear
We vermin of the tears
Castrated by events
I'm just an architect
With facts and figures, in serried graves
Accountancy's care, paperwork grows
Playing for platforms, overheard throes
In railed stables, professional
Feeding the death machine
Worshiping banality
Children of the obscene
Tell them that it's all a game
An unperson of fear
We vermin of the tears
Castrated by events
I'm just an architect
Feeding the death machine
Worshiping banality
Spreadsheets of the obscene
It's just a fucking game
An unperson of fear (we are no one)
We vermin of the tears (and we cry)
Castrated by events (in the details, it makes sense)
I'm just an architect (we just do as we are told)"

Feeding The Death Machine (Anaal Nathrakh cover)

A quick song with mostly just nonsense vocal stylings. There are some background noise vocals, as well as main vocals, that do not have lyrics published. For this, I filled them in with quick words that follow the original vocal patterns, and fit the context or relate to the feelings I've had regarding the song subject. I will denote these with [ and ].

Lyrics:
[(Left): How much longer will we continue to lie to ourselves that this is fucking working?
(Right): How much longer will we continue to play passive and allow our own enslavement?]
[Die, die digging our own grave]
Thus always to tyrants: Boothian politics
You all deserve to die: Sic semper tyrannis
As we finished our session he wiped the Bolsonaro from my chin
[I, complacent, Sitting on my hands, Giving into , Calamity]
These are your just desserts: The wages of your sins
Oh, let me show you your fate: Sic semper tyrannis
As we finished our session he wiped the Bolsonaro from my chin
[Drawing “freedom” from a poisoned well;
A broken system which cannot be reformed]
[You’re motherfucking waiting for blood
Drowning in your own figuring out the answer:
You can’t vote out a reloaded gun]
Thus always to tyrants: Boothian politics
You all deserve to die: Sic semper tyrannis
As we finished our session he wiped the Bolsonaro from my chin
Sic semper tyrannis

Thus, Always, To Tyrants (Anaal Nathrakh cover)

One of my favorites off this album. I left the vocals untuned, there's some sour notes, but, again, for me this is mostly about the performance of the material itself as a means to an end, rather than show off skills I am adequate at best at.

Lyrics:
Shoulder to shoulder
Where the spirit which denies
Mephistopheles be thou my god
Even if you only serve
Unfucking surprising, in a war to end all hope
Depose the guards
Tear down these walls which shelter us from the storm
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny
A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends
In lockstep with the gourmands
Who'll lick your fat from their chins
If they're Mr. Creosote, we're not even a wafer thin' mint
It's just lipstick, fuckwit
Ashes will be all that we taste
Pucker up for your fucking pig
A great victory in Pyrrhus' name
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny
A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends
Unfucking surprising, in a war to end all hope
Depose the guards
Tear down these walls which shelter us from the storm
A thousand cocks begin to crow
And yet, we still deny
A thousand lights begin to glow in the night
And yet, we blind our eyes
The age of starlight ends

The Age Of Starlight Ends (Anaal Nathrakh cover)

My cover of Just Communication with guitars for the main melody.

This is super old, like 3 years old now, now that I'm un-privating it. Come to think nowadays, I'm really proud of it.

Just Communication - Instrumental Cover

"Behold the death of liberty, met with thunderous applause.
Incorporated plunderers; I saw through this facade.

The leeches always hunger for the blood of the lowest class;
The nectar of their politics; they can never have enough.

Siphoning our legacy.
Demons born of liturgy.
Siphoning our legacy.
Demons born of liturgy.
Sycophants of amorality.

Born into a shithole nation, you're not wanted here.
They want to keep their palace pure; pure of fucking shit.
A king has his rule, then dies, taking us with them.
The promise to be great again... as if it ever was.

Behold the death of liberty, met with thunderous applause."

Shithole Nations

My brother needed a rendition of Nightmare's battle music for one of his online gaming functions. 

Decided I'd go the orchestral only route, and make it much more percussion based, with multiple concert bass drums, toms, Chinese gong, taiko drum, anvils, bells, timpani, xylophone all carrying the original score, so you could even potentially have a version without the strings or brass.

Everything except for the bells is from EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Gold. The bells were a separate instrument/sample set I found and purchased a long time ago.

This is a 4-phrase loop, looped for 6+ minutes with some basic intro/outro drums to kind of give it a start and stop. So, outside of the 4 phrases, it doesn't change at all. 

Original composition by Minako Hamano and/or Akira Fujiwara.

A really chill thing that has no real meaning and was just created on the spot for fun.
