Prepare for the amusing next trial my creatures have here
My little friends are starving and need fattening for their predator
The little teeth will easily tear and rip
Green with envy never meant something so contrary
Slowly attacked by a swirling swarm of bottom feeders
They have come to consume you
You poor creatures have no means of defense
They, the krill are the reckoning
Feeding is due
First, they will chew
The innocents are through
Waiting is the only option
You would not have imagined whale-munch to depredate
Remorseless when they hunger
Your best buds are now traveling through a digestive tract
Just another feeding cycle
Open your microscopic eyes and accept the end
Photosynthesis failed you
There is no light here
These currents lead you to a wasteland
The scum of your kind must not survive
Embrace slaughter and despair
Die knowing you served your purpose at last
We float away
After the feast, we are never seen
This is just the first death that you will live to see
Die

Where Is Your Cod Now

Nothing is going right
Fish hook bitten skin
No one to turn to
Stuck in a rip tide
Head smashes against the reef
It's time to say goodnight
Just show me a sign
Floating in the distance was an eight-legged being
Swimming Closer, odds are inauspicious
Held out his trident and pierced the throat
The blood that escaped welcomed the hungry
This is the next trial
At the gates of the abyssopelagic zone
I was turned away
Forsaken blasphemy
Taken away by the mysterious creature
Ink to the eye
To blind the incapable
Swimming Closer, odds are inauspicious
Held out his trident and pierced the throat
Skin mashes beneath the sea
To be exalted with the fishes
Just search for your Cod
With all that's happened
Don't let 'em slip away!
Where is your Cod?

Traveled to the abyss
Go with the currents
The perfect conductor
Eyes roll to the back of your head like a shark on the attack
This life is ending there is no turning back
Your life dwindled to nothing
Don't look because its about to get ugly
I'm your only redeemer
Hand me the jellies
As I rub the tentacles together
Static generates sporadic entropy
The jellies have squished to your chest
Smells of something cooked fresh
Heart ache and diarrhea
The shocks on you are a factor of death
To save your hide Ill set the locks free
Urinate on your chest
Your face is turning blue
Another trial and error
Your chest has been scarred
I decided to let you be one with me
Shocked back to life
Now one with the sea
This debt will be paid
Your life will be taken in vain
Forever
You've only got yourself to blame
This misfortune of a sea critter is for you
This new life must be exquisite
Slimy appendages graze the chest and with the lack of bandages, this kind of hurts
The clown fish are laughing
Your life was saved by the jellyfish defib
You've got one life left
There is only one problem
Your time is limited
Now it's my turn to make your insides churn

Torn limb by limb Drowning in retribution
Clouds of blood
Negative buoyancy
Sinking 'til you're losing mental stability
Your blood and heart rate attract the hungry
No longer the apex predator
You're just what's for dinner
Eaten alive and all you hear are the bloodied cries
No longer will you sell my fins
This slow and painful death is how it was meant to be
The bottom feeders will feed on your squirming body
Step into my world time gets thinner
Desecrate your vile remains
Human limb soup is a delicacy
Your organs will occupy my belly
Swim toward the surface
Uncontrolled descent
Gushing blood all over
Swim toward the surface
Uncontrolled descent
Gushing blood all over
(A worldwide slaughter, about a hundred million sharks a year are killed by humans. Shark populations have declined by 70 to 90 percent worldwide, depending on the species. 18 shark species are listed as endangered. And most of them are dying for one thing-- soup.)
Waiting for the ravenous critters to nibble and tear
Fear never felt so real
Death is imminent and beckoning for you

Destined to die ill give it one last fight so I may unify
A suicide mission lies at the ocean floor
A place Where humans and fish are floating in their gore
My spear gun is cocked and loaded
Let's hope this works this time
My opponent is the giant squid
When I get the chance ill blast off your lid
Rapidly descending and light fades away
The deeper I go color becomes the same
But my goal of slaying the squid will remain
Swimming toward the sea monsters cave
Tentacles appear from this gaping hole
Staring into the of eyes my executor
Raise my gun to the heart and shoot
Piercing the heart of the squid but he mocks and
Rips the pole out
I am the vampire squid
And I'm flattered that you've tried to kill me
By piercing my heart with your vestigial weapons
Your efforts are futile
You must accept this fate
Half blind in an aquatic bind, the first strike saps me
Listen for the pop, that's just your spleen
Blood pours out of your ears and nose
Fill up your mask to the brim
Clouds the water, it's feeding time
Creatures of the sea
I call upon your masses
20,000 pounds of pressure
Your organs feel the squees
Disoriented, my body has been torn
What chance is left for me after my near fatal attempt?

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.
