about

Single from the upcoming full length album, TBD. Features the insanely versatile metal vocalist known as Faceless who can be found @f8celess on Instagram.

This song is about the warriors known as Berzerkers from the viking age who would ritualistically venture into the woods where they would trip on natural mind altering substances and basically become battle monsters. Fucking Enjoy Fam! \,,/ \,,/

lyrics

Skeptik::

A journey deep into an animal's mind
will leave a warrior's conscience hollow.
Into the forest to be drained of humanity
and then replenished with the blood of an awakening soul.
Many solitary nights allow the coming change
and the emergence of a savage reborn.
To leave behind all the shackles of the mortal coil,
taken as an apathetic weapon of a reckoning force.

with the voice of a rabid wolf it howls

there is a hunger, a lust for victory
but no compassion to be found in the heart of the beast
no longer human, no trace of sympathy.
half man-half monster: berzerker

Faceless::
the battle field is the barbarian's home.
the blood of enemies- the nourishment to thrive from.
and the fray of the unfolding carnage
is now the only sanctuary for the predator's heart.
with the hide of a bear as armor
and the ferocity of nature unbreakable,
without a trace of fear or mercy
charging into violent confrontation demonstrating his art
with the voice of a rabid wolf it howls

Skeptik::
there is a hunger, a lust for victory
but no compassion to be found in the heart of the beast
no longer human, no trace of sympathy.
half man-half monster: berzerker

bloody fists, boiling skin.
now unleashed it the beast within.
rip to pieces, crush and tear.
the scent of warfare fills the air.
bite through shields as eyes are crazed
the fog of madness behind his face.
in his eyes a hollow void
as all that stands will be destroyed.

the scent of blood is such a beckoning force.
the burning tempest of rage is unrelenting.
with a maniacal and bellowing howl,
the frenzied warrior's hunt is neverending.
an unquenchable thirst ever prevails
a primal hunger for the fear of an adversary
and the barrading attack will not be hindered,
frantic and unstoppable until the ground is red as the sky

with the voice of a rabid wolf it howls

there is a hunger, a lust for victory
but no compassion to be found in the heart of the beast
no longer human, no trace of sympathy.
half man-half monster: berzerker
