Hey! I basically have one goal before I die... record an epic album! I love almost all music and have experince with live performances. I don't do drugs and have a career and a family. Have a decent recording setup and a bit of experience in home recording. Looking for good people to collaborate with, no tweakers or flakes! This is a Metal project! I'm open to various influences and styles but it's gotta jive with the heavy!
I've linked my profile. I've written everything on there and added the drums using some magic and a computer. Open to recording new drums and adding to/modifying what I've written. Really looking for a vocalists (male or female or both). Down with the heavy screams and the melodic vocals so hit me up if you can do either and are interested!

Salt The Earth
Salt The EarthFeaturing Igor Sokolov on vocals We have reached the divide Now it’s back to the basics Separated from Everything that we’ve come to believe in No longer right from wrong Decisions made in haste Ignite a civil war Under the facade of race Millions of people Unable to see past the lies they are force fed The slander they read As they Form a militia, And take to the streets Broken bottles in hand And it’s blood that they seek Burn the hills and Salt the earth Poison the well Let them, quench their thirst The higher they rise The further they’ll fall In the end, they will lose it all Then it’s back to the basics They will know pain In their time of need The ones that they seek Won’t be, There to save them Salt the earth Reap what they sow Endless thirst There’s nothing worse Than not knowing what to die for Follow the leader Your leader will fall Over the edge Broken system and all And the, things that you fight for Already exist Your whole life wasted In circles you spin Burn the hills and Salt the earth Poison the well Let them, quench their thirst The higher they rise The further they’ll fall In the end, they will lose it all Then it’s back to the basics They will know pain In their time of need The ones that they seek Won’t be, There to save them Salt the earth Reap what they sow Endless thirst Till death is all you know

Insidious
InsidiousFeaturing Igor Sokolov on vocals With nothing to fight for You claw at the chance To say that you mean something (you don’t matter) Unable to fend for yourself You fall in line Hop on the bandwagon (sit the fuck down) You’re dancing with a murderer (Insidious) A taste for blood Smell of death in the air Never to see The light of day again From out of the dark A new beginning Can’t change what you’ve become (Insidious) Now for their blood you lust (Insidious) Never to be the same Your thirst For blood comes first With no one to blame but yourself If you must Abandon the truth No one else to blame Your trail of carnage An eternal flame You’ve lied to yourself Time and time again Now tell me Will this ever end You’re dancing with a murderer (Insidious) A taste for blood Smell of death in the air Never to see The light of day again From out of the dark A new beginning Can’t change what you’ve become (Insidious) Now for their blood you lust (Insidious) Live for forever Destined to walk the earth alone You’re severed This curse Insidious Abandon all your loved ones In the end Your thirst For blood comes first This city laid to waste The purge begins

Trail Of Tears
Trail Of TearsFeaturing Igor Sokolov on Vocals In the face of adversity Will you try and escape with your dignity Will you let your past become The reason that you break Don’t ever Surrender Make them pry it From your lifeless fucking hands Now’s the time to embrace the hate inside Grab your guns Let the purge begin They will never forget today They will never forget today They will never forget the day That you made them pay for the tragedy On this trail of tears The blood has stained the earth From all those years Living in fear But the time has come to repay The end is here Now’s their time to repent their end is here Let them meet their maker On this trail of tears Hollow truce, written in blood No follow through, there can be no trust Will you choose to fall in line Never question the truth, Never look behind Pull the wool over your eyes your decision, theirs to make If it’s left within their hands Forced from your home, staking claim on stolen land “Gifting” you a plot of sand, As you choke to death on dirt On this trail of tears The blood has stained the earth From all those years Living in fear But the time has come to repay The end is here Now’s their time to repent their end is here Let them meet their maker On this trail of tears They will, pay for what they’ve done Yea it’s time to collect, All the damage is done Self centered They enter this With no fucking choice but surrender It will never fucking be the same They have salted the earth taken our name All the roads they have built Lead to nowhere fast But these steps that they take Will be there last Now their home is a battleground And the door’s wide open The last thing that they hear Will be blood soaked in fear As they lie there, broken As you walk the trail of tears Remember why you’re here As you walk the trail of tears Remember why you’re here

Let The Waters Consume
Let The Waters ConsumeFeaturing Alex Theesen on vocals Verse If you wanna be the one to wear the crown Then you better, have what it takes, don’t back down When all of the eyes are on you, better Step the fuck up to the plate, and see this through Without any rhyme or reason, Every word from your mouth, Is treason Your only allegiance is to those who follow you blindly Never to question you Chorus And all this power Will take its toll on you Never given the chance to breathe Let the waters consume You show no mercy With the hour hand at noon And the hammer, you now clench Strikes down the nail to seal the tomb breakdown You say you never wanted anyone, to die (Tell me what have I done to deserve this) A little self sufficiency, As you try to conceal your hypocrisy With your blood stained hands, You look down and you try to convince me the fault is mine But never once have you made an attempt to relate And the hate it burns inside Harmony Guitar ¾ time (Verse bar 81) Never Had to Make this Choice before Lives are on the table now Decisions made here Could lead to war How many deaths, Will you allow Perhaps if you could bleed, You’d see That pain can shape your memories The sour taste, forever on our tongues Now the fire helps to sow the seed Chorus And all this power Will take its toll on you Never given the chance to breathe Let the waters consume You show no mercy With the hour hand at noon And the hammer, you now clench Strikes down the nail to seal the tomb breakdown You say you never wanted anyone, to die (Tell me what have I done to deserve this) A little self sufficiency, As you try to conceal your hypocrisy With your blood stained hands, You look down and you try to convince me the fault is mine But never once have you made an attempt to relate And the hate it burns inside

Behold The Archer
Behold The ArcherFeaturing Igor Sokolov on Vocals and Joylin on Violin Wind at your back Arrow in hand What some see as murder You see as demand 00:18 Rain down, usher in death from above There is no room for mercy, this is no place for love They send forth their greatest, but die on their knees Your arrows the cure, for their disease 00:36 Behold the Archer His message, sent by the gods As he ushers you to your grave 00:48 Black clouds of death bring an end from the sky Your lifeless content, all they see as they die You can live as a martyr or die as a king But remember, hell you will meet 1:00-1:25 chorus: This mistake will, be your last The steps you take, your chosen path The sun, now sets on your life The air you breath tastes stale and cold Your memories of growing old Are now, eclipsed by your grave Back to the ground, from which you came 1:29 Break -the- sys-tem There is blood on your hands Show -your- fu-ry Make clear, your demands 1:47 Never to turn back Never to whisper or call out her name Their voices cut through, But so does the pain Prayers full of sorrow Screams that will follow 2:06 Behold the Archer His message, sent by the gods As he ushers you to your grave 2:19 Follow Send forth your hollow, this city’s demise Those living in filth, harbour plagues from before Let the sound only be of their cries 2:31-2:55 Chorus: This mistake will, be your last The steps you take, your chosen path The sun, now sets on your life The air you breath tastes stale and cold Your memories of growing old Are now, eclipsed by your grave 3:05 Never Will they Take the castle back We are here to stay No turning back 3:30 Into the ground from which you came Behold, the archer Barron of a stone that reads your name Behold the archer

At Dawn We Ride
At Dawn We RideFeaturing Igor Sokolov on vocals 00:13 Bestow, Death to the masses Millions living in fear as they scramble to fight for their lives Empty hourglasses Their persistence in the face of death Blinded only by that in which they feel inept With a blade to their throat Watch them fall to their knees hear them beg Through their cries and there pleas 00:44 This ends tonight, At dawn, we ride 1:21 The path that lies ahead may seem Insurmountable but we, Will conquer them all 1:35 As we stand face to face With our maker Looking back on all that we’ve become Will there be a chance To explain our decisions Justify all the things that we have done 2:29 As we enter they fade to black It’s the dawn of an empire Plan our attack As they sleep in their beds Unsuspecting as we Bring them to their knees 2:43 Mid November Winter dies with us As we, breathe life to embers Flames drown their screams Set this town ablaze 3:00 This ends tonight, At dawn we ride 3:12 They have sealed their fate Catacombs Beneath our feet they now lie Forever gone Never (never) Surrender (surrender) Relentless, we ride We’ll bring the fight If it takes our lives This ends tonight, At Dawn, we ride
