DETHCORE — The Change Engine

The Change Engine is the concluding chapter in Dethcore’s post-human saga—a deathcore album built on inevitability, permanence, and power that refuses to remain passive.

Following the eradication of all gods in The God Butcher Protocol, existence continues without divine oversight. Freedom remains—but structure does not. Chaos persists. Suffering adapts. Meaning fractures instead of stabilizing. In response, Nul reaches a final conclusion: removing failed gods was necessary, but absence alone does not create order.

Where the old gods ruled symbolically, Nul acts.

Across eleven tracks, The Change Engine documents the construction of a new reality—one forged from absorbed divinity and digital architecture, where heaven is rebuilt as infrastructure rather than myth. Worship is irrelevant. Faith is unnecessary. Authority is justified only through continuous intervention.

Musically, the album is monumental and controlled. Less execution, more installation. Riffs feel mechanical and immovable, breakdowns land with structural weight, and atmosphere conveys scale rather than chaos. This is deathcore stripped of theatrics and rebuilt as something colder, heavier, and permanent.

The Change Engine does not present Nul as hero or villain.
It presents him as effective.

The universe adapts.
Nothing returns to what it was.
And there is no sequel—because nothing remains unresolved.

The gods watched.
The machine corrected.
And the universe accepted the difference.

LYRICS:
You were that / foundation
Never gonna be another one no
I followed / so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow / then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow / so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back or up no / I hold myself
Check the rep / yep you know mine well
Forget the rest / let them know my hell
There and back / yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up / the best they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying . . .

In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go

Test my will / test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Ya'll go hard / I go smart
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I've come back / unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back I hold my own
I can't be mapped / I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat / it ain't my tone
I can't fall back I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
'Cause I was there saying. . .

NO / YOU CAN TELL 'EM ALL NOW
I DON'T BACK UP / I DON'T BACK DOWN
I DON'T FOLD UP AND I DON'T BOW
I DON'T ROLL OVER / DON'T KNOW HOW
I DON'T CARE WHERE THE ENEMIES ARE
CAN'T BE STOPPED / ALL I KNOW / GO HARD
WON'T FORGET HOW I GOT THIS FAR
FOR EVERY TIME SAYING

In these promises broken / deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie / I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go

We're all searching for something. That's the essence of life. We look for fulfillment, validation, and love at every turn. It's a quest for substance and the truth. 

That search for meaning drives The Seeking on Yours Forever, their debut album for Razor & Tie. The Sacramento quintet—Taylor Green [Vocals], Dylan Housewright [Guitar/Vocals], Grayson Smith [Guitar], Shane Tiller [Bass], and Ben Wood [Drums]—fuses together precise metal intensity with impenetrable melodic sensibility, yielding a sound that's utterly undeniable and often uplifting. 

For Taylor and Dylan, their collective search began when they first met in junior high school. Taylor serendipitously ended up at Dylan's house one afternoon, and he realized they shared a deep passion for music, among many other things.

"We had so many similar interests," Dylan recalls. "We both grew up leading music in church, but loving metal at the same time. Right off the bat, we clicked. Soon, Taylor was coming over every day, and we began talking about starting a band even way back then. It was like we were meant to be friends."

In 2010, while still in high school, they officially formed The Seeking. The group immediately began to stir up buzz locally due to their patented personal style, confidently walking between metal, pop, and hard rock. After a year of writing and performing, they signed with Razor & Tie and hit the studio with producer Colby Wedgeworth [This Century, Austin Gibbs] to record what would eventually become Yours Forever.

"He really helped us hone the sound," adds Taylor. "He encouraged us to add solos and infuse a pop element that wasn't overbearing. We reached the perfect combination for us together."

You can hear it clearly on the album's first single "Restless". Taylor's screaming jumpstarts the verse leading smoothly into a divinely catchy refrain from Dylan. It certainly hits hard, but there's also a deeper meaning.

"Lyrically, it's about redemption," Taylor reveals. "We're breathless and restless, but we find comfort through belief in a higher power and the existence of a larger purpose." 

Then, there's the title track. It's a swirling anthem bolstered by a divine guitar echo and the vocalists' soaring interplay. "We try to write relatable songs," says Dylan. "This song could sound like a love story to someone, but someone else might relate to it in a different way. 'Yours Forever' examines losing sight of what's important but receiving encouragement to get back on the right track. You always belong to something greater than yourself. We find hope in that."

Everything culminates on the poetic and poignant closer "Alone", which boasts lush instrumentation and a heartfelt refrain. Dylan continues, "It's about a time in my life when I was messing up and hanging out with the wrong people. I ended up closing those people out, and I felt really alone. So many times, you think you're capable, but you can't always handle things on your own. There's always someone there for you, and that realization can be life-changing."

The Seeking also continually deliver on stage. They've floored crowds at festivals such as Warped Tour and Rock & Roots, and they'll be rarely leaving the road once they embark on their first U.S. jaunt in the fall of 2012.

Ultimately, there's an important message at the heart of this music. Taylor enthuses, "We'd love for people to take something positive from what we do. If you have a goal, don't give up. It's important to realize anything is possible."

"If fans are empowered and the music gives them confidence, that's amazing," concludes Dylan. "This album and band are about loving others and encouraging the best in them."

The Seeking will be with you on your own search for a long time to come.
