Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Grim Demise return after several years of live shows and songwriting to deliver a bleak, expansive album that picks up where their debut "Nameless Graves" left off. An embattled, conceptual collection of songs, Watchers expands the bands sonic and thematic horizons, from the galloping blackened thrash of Black Roads, to the planet-erupting grooves of the newly re-recorded Lords Of Decay, metal textures and subgenres lurch in and out of the bands trademark hammering riffage. Featuring a polished, consistently modern production from local guitar luminary Ryan Huthnance (The Seer, Gaped, former Mortal Sin) and Lovecraftian cover art by Mister Sam Shearon (Ministry, A Pale Horse Named Death, Clive Barker's Books of Blood), this is ten tracks of chaotic australian metal you can really sink your teeth into. Presented shrinkwrapped in the classic CD jewel case, the package features an eight page booklet, wherein the inner and outer design liner notes expand the cover artwork, and the complete lyrics are included.

Includes unlimited streaming of Watchers Of The Dying Earth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Dust and bones Of your ancestors forbidden by ancient decree when you would choke when you would fall and crumble abstractions fade Inside ancestral ruins your master’s chains held by forgotten empire eternal slave, enraptured by dominion lost inside the absolution the blood pours from your eyes as you stand in defiance unwilling to sacrifice face the end of all existence no more shall ever rise Winding through the final nightmare when you would choke when you would fall and crumble abstractions fade Inside ancestral ruins your master’s chains held by forgotten empire eternal slave, enraptured by dominion lost inside the absolution the blood pours from your eyes as you stand in defiance unwilling to sacrifice face the end, the mother of demons icon of sin must die you will pay the price encounter purest darkness eye of the storm burnt offerings eternal this endless pain is vast and systematic into the void close the final gateway all must bleed slowly turn the rusted key reach for your bleeding bastards receding intersect creation circumspect destruction Unmaker

Plague invades the flesh till it’s grey life falls into rot new death every day Intake of plague a morbid landscape An infinite sickness where nothing escapes Visions of Decay (plague creates decay) Melting lives away (plague creates decay) Faith invades the mind till it’s grey controlled by fear a man-made mistake the spreading of lies the corrupt propagate wretched the call of terminal blame Visions of Decay (plague creates decay) Stripping life away (plague creates decay) Ascending drones of the plague Serving the lords of decay Burnt this place, morbidity reigns dispose the dead distorted their shapes oppressed by fate chosen to wait toxic corpse herd to incinerate Visions of Decay (plague creates decay) Melting hope away (plague creates decay) Ascending drones of the plague Serving the lords of decay

carbonized and de-evolved just another wrath limitations rendered blind broken burning on falling into this black hole eternal aftermath armour plated to survive broken and you fade denial obeyed flesh slowly consumed follow these graves as you lived risen immortal aflame Brutalised for transcendence followers are denied Burning selfish desire crawling for the common goal Endless eyes of dependence human host must die Corporate breach of moral function Ratting out your fellow man soul remains Flesh is made extinct bones remain Rotting human meat Flesh prepared for extinction burning hell in the skies endless vistas shrouded darkness putrid hatred arise Endless eyes of dependence human host must die Corporate breach of moral function Ratting out your fellow man bones aren’t hard to break replace flesh with steel hope in time will break flesh becomes extinct flesh is now extinct flesh now obsolete raw the souls they fade rotting human meat calling beyond the veil is lifted bones reduced to ashes Calling beyond the veil is lifted finally we rise from hell tolling the end of the world rising towards your victim far beyond the veil is lifted finally rise from hell tolling, tolling the end and erasing violated

Riders of the blackened plague locusts of the demon age burning with the chosen hate riders on the BLACK ROADS Forces from beyond the grave TO YOUR Wretched carcasses in chains SLOW DEATH Suffering to be enslaved Master of your final torment Fire, dominion of pain chosen to suffer, violence in vain Pervasive ideology, in your mind weakness held high, the symbol of the apostate Spiritual death follows broken path absorbed and drained drowning in their grasp Journey to death is to choose this path souls that will drain on the road to black Carving skulls for the elders of hate when the world is withering grey far beyond killing visions and plague burning effigies of hate fires that burn as the visions of hell take your eyes to a limitless grave claws begin ripping pieces of flesh as the body succumbs to plague

In the fiery depths of hell there is a force more evil than man he will come straight for your soul into the unknown it will go burn cast down from the skies above like a biblical plague to wreak havoc on the world that we know this evil is here to stay soul will burn and you will die as he destroys you from the other side fallen one that came from the sky you will now perish in its eyes burn confess yourself unholy one for your sin payments due blood that spills upon the earth slave resigned to a silent doom soul will burn and you will die as he destroys you from the other side fallen one that came from the sky you will now perish in its eyes fiery the angels fell burning with the fires of orc moments lost in time architects of hell

Borne by the oceans Hunters of the seas Cold iron masters Fall to your knees Waves bring relentless forces War from the East Prepare for subjugation Face your defeat Run find nowhere to hide Blood washes their hands Ribbons to the blade ripping through your land honour is enshrined temple to the blade heads lay on the ground for the shogunate Borne by the oceans Hunters of the seas Cold iron masters Fall to your knees Blood Spilling Underground Hidden cities fall ruined and devoured lightning surge of war Punished by the blade Forbidden technology Ensuring you pain Never shall you see Borne by the oceans Hunters of the seas Cold iron masters Fall to your knees Endless Blades fly the scent of blood rise to the sky echoes of screaming Cities Falling Silenced By carnage Shrouds of Darkness For honour No prisoners A Price is on your head, you watch your people burn. Outlawing energy? A fate that you have earned. these oceans filled with blood relentless blades of death post nuclear federation can’t stop this massacre the fall of civilisation for the imperator

what remains unsaid, unspoken words are in my head in this place, stare into the rain hear the window shake hear this creeping pain you are somewhere else and nothing is the same holding on for hope a hope that’s fading fast something in you broke it's given way at last fading ruined wretch I’m not the thing you see see me as I was or who I could have been feeling I’m erased the weight is growing strong I can’t feel my face was my judgement wrong holding on for hope a hope that’s fading fast something in you broke it's giving way at last what it was you had was never really there something that you felt a loss you are aware how did it feel when you walked away was this not real I start to fade holding on for hope a hope that’s fading fast something in you broke it's giving way at last what it was you had was never really there something that you felt a loss you are aware my hands are tied my mouth has been sewn shut this heart inside is turning into dust these chains of mine are breaking from the rust do I hold on or have you lost all trust my voice all my nerves are shot I thought I was but maybe I was not I’m growing old my body turns to dust must I hold on do what you must these chains of mine are breaking from the rust can I hold on or have you lost all trust my voice is gone, and my nerves are shot I thought I was maybe I was not
10.	Ghosts 03:55	lyrics	buy track
War and destruction, and endless bloodthirst, nations fighting and killing for cash knives that are shredding your flesh, the unholy destroying the enemy’s mind trapped by a system, designed to destroy, every fragment of all that you are cult built of sickness, and dead obsolescence, a temple to all that has died A mockery made of the history built from blood of the thousands who died political dogma outdated religion, these lies that define what we are thousands of lives that are ruled and controlled by an authoritarian hand control and manipulate truth into barbs that cause consciousness to cauterise stumbling in blood as the descending ashes mutate and destroy all mankind rage that is barely contained now emerges blood boiling preparing to die cities on fire filled with bodies decaying the earth dying before your eyes vomiting blood in the Silence and darkness the species of man has expired Stay the waiting hand of the destroyer descending hate unfed deception march of death armed to the teeth fall down and die in ruins ghosts of war march of death armed to the teeth, infra red fall down and die they march on hunger they feed for combat

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
