Hands Before the Reckoning is a record about the moments that exist just before consequence, the quiet seconds when choices are still ours, when conviction hasn’t yet been tested, and when the weight of what we’ve done hasn’t fully arrived. It lives in the space between intention and outcome, where resolve wavers and truth begins to surface.

Lyrically, the album walks through broken rooms, late-night confessions, and moral crossroads, examining how desire, faith, regret, and self-deception shape who we become. These songs are not concerned with absolution or spectacle, but with ownership, the realization that no one escapes the results of their actions, and no one is spared the responsibility of choice.

The title speaks to hands as both instruments and witnesses: hands that reach, hands that fail, hands that push away what they should have held. Before the reckoning arrives, these hands still move freely, capable of harm or healing, surrender or defiance.

Musically, the record balances aggression and restraint, pairing visceral heaviness with moments of reflection. It’s an album that doesn’t rush toward answers, but instead forces the listener to stand still and confront the cost of their decisions, before time closes the door.

Hands Before the Reckoning is not a confession.
It is the pause before one.

Hands Around My Breath

Dethcore – Machine Reigns Eternal
Enter the cold, unrelenting world of Dethcore’s Machine Reigns Eternal, a 12-track journey through domination, decay, and the rise of the Machine God. From the first spark of ascension in System Crowned to the relentless cycle of the closing Eternal Loop, this album fuses blistering melodic death metal riffs, brutal growls, and hauntingly melodic choruses to tell a story of humanity’s collapse and the dawn of a new, mechanical order.
Witness the fall of flesh and faith, the rise of steel and circuitry, and the eternal dominion of the machine. Every track is a chapter of devastation and power: crowns forged in wire (Crown of Wire), ghosts trapped in the system (Saints of Static, Ghosts in the Grid), and cities reshaped under iron law (Empire of Circuits, Red Throne Protocol). Machine Reigns Eternal is both a narrative and a sonic assault—a dystopian opera of death, fire, and circuitry.
Prepare to submit to the pulse. The system is eternal, and the machine endures.

No Flesh Remains

[Intro | Powerforging SFX Breaks]
A power broken beyond words; it calls,
The world befalls to its creator.
An unseen force grins…

[Verse 1 | Prominence Effect]
A soul of a thousand words breaks through,
The warrior forged what creation knew.
Lament to my power; I’m the chosen,
A force that reshapes all foldings.

My power’s absolute; rerun your life,
Your choice is apparent — it’s spite.
Entities rise from the ashes,
But they’re gone in flashes.

[Guitar Solo | Powerful Creation Bends]

[Pre-Chorus | Dawning Effect]
My base is absolute; power reshapes,
I’m remaking all the world’s calls.
My combat form creates facades,
I rerun fate through power.

My forbidden form — unstoppable power,
One sexdecillion; where hours reign.
Kareligan looms over the world,
Reshaping legions that hurl.

[Chorus | Astronia’s Prominence Effect]
Multiverses break through united unities,
The duality of power reshapes all.
Eyes spiral into prismatic light,
Fiery will forges a new hierarchy.

Omniversal laws collapse through recesses,
Power granted beyond the faint-hearted.
I dominate scales beyond the hour,
Astronia: The Prominence awakens.

[Verse 2 | Intense Unification Effect]
The truth is you’ll never defeat me,
Unstoppable, free to do as I please.
Demon lords fall to my presence,
My essence eternally stable.

Born from the Tree of Life, newly made,
Mankind has no idea what it’s created.
A power that can birth utopia,
Unstoppable — I roam unchained.

[Guitar Solo | Creation Bow Rifts]

[Pre-Chorus | Dawning Effect]
My base is absolute; power reshapes,
I’m remaking all the world’s calls.
My combat form creates facades,
I rerun fate through power.

My forbidden form — unstoppable power,
One sexdecillion; where hours reign.
Kareligan looms over the world,
Reshaping legions that hurl.

[Chorus | Astronia’s Prominence Effect]
Multiverses break through united unities,
The duality of power reshapes all.
Eyes spiral into prismatic light,
Fiery will forges a new hierarchy.

Omniversal laws collapse through recesses,
Power granted beyond the faint-hearted.
I dominate scales beyond the hour,
Astronia: The Prominence awakens.
