Pariahs Of The Universe

from Sounds Of The End by Mephistopheles

supported by

Andrej Romić thumbnail
Andrej Romić Technical blackened death metal. Coming from Tasmania, Australia, these guys are giving a totally new meaning to this genre. Combining technical death metal riffs with black metal-ish vocals. Top notch stuff. It's a plus that the vocalist is the ex vocalist of psycroptic, who sang on the first 2 records, which were my absolute favorites. All hail chalky!!

Featuring killer album art by Tasmanian artist Bill Dean (responsible for first 2 Psycroptic album covers, and plenty more), and an impressive layout by Cock and Ball Torture drummer Sascha Pahlke, this is certainly an album worth owning in CD format.

lyrics

All of us, are living on this rock - we are spinning around a star that we’ve named
We don’t know if we’re the only ones who do exist in this universe,
As a species, we are so curious (about) what there is out there in space,
And, there is, that age-old question - are we the only ones here?
In this great vast expanse, are there no others who exist like us?
Are we just oddities, the only world, with those of sentience?
Those who study the skies, they will continue to theorise

But while they are seeking the truth, the answer is awaiting for us to discover,
It’s disturbing, a harsh reality- that most of us will refuse to accept
The fact, of why no others have ever made official contact with our modern race is that we are a joke among those entities who travel the cosmos,
We’re outcasts without knowing it, we are seen as failures;
in “their” eyes, and in their stories, our purpose is nil
Thousands of species, in all directions, in distant corners, they aren’t awaiting us
Our trite existence, they are aware of, it’s of no interest, as they all judge that;
We are useless - to them or their future prospects, not even their curiosity of us is enough for them to want to associate with our species, we’re seen as beasts, primitive and fetid, a breeding disease
They pass by us regularly, but stopping is the last thing that they ever think of, we’re just a marker point, on their way to better and nicer places that we, shall probably never see…

We are Pariahs, in a vast universe - humans are alone
And our only hope, to connect with those who avoid us…is to improve and evolve…
