Triumph and Torment

by Invicta

supported by

Bart Really, really strong release here for death metal fans. Heavy dose of thrash is included. The band does lean to the tech death side of things too. I could do with a few less scales/solos, but that's just me. Really great production too here btw. Favorite track: Forces of Annihilation.

Dave Hariniuk So much power!!!
They lay waste to your skull as the tracks play through. Kyle and Jonah have achieved atomic synchronicity!! Reef's relentless power on the Kit welds it all together with an unbreakable bond. The melodic interludes are crafted perfectly to give you a minute to catch your breath before the assault resumes.

I can't wait to see these songs live where Steve will call upon the THUNDER that brings the house down!! Great work Guys!!!

JMMateo Greetings. I am writing this e-mail because I think my order has been returned to you. I did not receive any notice of collection and that may be the reason for the return. I hope they inform me and tell me what solution there is.

A life filled with oppression Hatred, war, and greed Vengeance became my obsession Revenge became my need My people always victimized Brutally beaten, and killed By people that are hypnotized Fools with no free will We, we are the future We are the future of man Too much of our own blood Has been spilled across the land United, we shall rise As the new regime we will bring their demise United, you are not alone Together we stand to build our new throne The next step in evolution All they see are freaks We’ll end the persecution We’re no longer weak We will no longer endure This pain, fear, and hate For our blood is pure For our rise is fate We, we are the future We are the future of man Too much of our own blood Has been spilled across the land. United, we shall rise As the new regime we will bring their demise United, you are not alone Together we stand to build our new throne The new throne Brothers and sisters do not be afraid With their lives the oppressors will pay Brothers and sisters do not be afraid Under my rule you’ll no longer live as slaves Solo: Jonah K Solo: Edissi Solo: Jonah K Solo: Edissi Solo: Jonah K Solo: Edissi I will fight until my last breath My reprisal will breed death I will be the revolution War is the only solution now United we shall rise As the new regime we will bring their demise United, you are not alone Together we stand to build our new throne The new throne

Finally freed from the confinement of the Negative Zone A forlorn universe suffused with rotting flesh and bone The vile creatures readily serve their master’s every will Commence the conquest to fuel his lust to kill The ravenous horde spreads across the skies They will not rest until all life dies The forces of annihilation The grotesque, colossal infestation Voracious swarm breaks through the barriers in their massive waves Insectile legions spreading through the vacuum of space Tearing through the universe no force can stop their breach They massacre the populous of the planets they reach The ravenous horde spreads across the skies They will not rest until all life dies The forces of annihilation The grotesque, colossal infestation Solo: K Edissi Solo: Jonah K Invade Defences devastated Infest Defences overrun Decimate Planets mutilated Conquest The onslaught has begun The ravenous horde spreads across the skies They will not rest until all life dies The forces of annihilation The grotesque, colossal infestation The ravenous horde spreads across the skies They will not rest until all life dies The forces of annihilation The grotesque, mass infiltration It's not a war it’s the extermination of sentience In the siege there is no lament or sentiment No one escapes the coming bloodshed, the violence And all that will be left in existence is silence
3.	Apprentice of Death 07:13	lyrics	buy track
Traveling through time and space Destroying all we see Countless lives in the palm of our hands Ripping flesh from the weak The suffering and torment could end All in the blink of an eye But we continue our tyrannic crusade All that exists must die Flames, spread across the stars Blood, seeps through your scars Failures result in punishment Life is stripped and torn Millions of years of suffering The apprentice of death is born The punishment ends with my revenge My hate has kept me alive You turned me into what I am today The apprentice of death survives Just when it seems as though the battle’s been won The illusion ends You lay betrayed, engulfed in flames Through time you descend Fed to ancient beasts Endure an eternal defeat Failures result in punishment Life is stripped and torn Millions of years of suffering The apprentice of death is born The punishment ends with my revenge My hate has kept me alive You turned me into what I am today The apprentice of death survives Solo: Jonah K You told me that death is just moments away Just as you had me expelled Each day I endure insurmountable pain I’ve never been more compelled I transform myself piece by piece In order to have my reprise Deceive you to strike when the moment is right I’ll watch the life drain from your eyes Solo: Edissi Failures result in punishment Life is stripped and torn Millions of years of suffering The apprentice of death is born The punishment ends with my revenge My hate has kept me alive You turned me into what I am today The apprentice of death survives
4.	Battle the Beyond 06:13	lyrics	buy track
Brought to this place against our will A world designed for us to kill Gathered as forces to wage war Puppets of a force not seen before Ridden with petty desires, plagued with feeble minds Eyes on the obvious, the closed minded are left behind You fools are blinded by the game Too blind to see what will remain Ultimate power in our grasp You choose to be ensnared by the trap I have the dreams of giants, I have the will of gods No one will stand in my way, no matter how small the odds Join me to defeat the one who holds us captive Join me or may you burn among the ashes I will no longer be one of the pawns I will be the one to battle the beyond Try as you might to stand in my way I will not be stopped until this monster is slain I will be the one to battle the beyond I will not be stopped until I am a god Solo: Jonah K I am preeminent, I have but one equal I have now surpassed good and evil Others would fall prey to Death’s cold embrace I will stand triumphant and take my rightful place I will no longer be one of the pawns I will be the one to battle the beyond Try as you might to stand in my way I will not be stopped until this monster is slain I will be the one to battle the beyond I will not be stopped until I am the God Solo: Edissi
5.	Sinister Obsession 04:17	lyrics	buy track
Expanding the possibilities of DNA to discover the hidden gene Decoding a power so great must be achieved by any means Exploring the genes of human existence is when my sickness began Sadistic imagination disguised as yearning for knowledge, for science, for man My sinister obsession has driven me mad I've lost all humanity A deranged fixation of human potential I've lost all my sanity Genetic reconstruction of my subjects to clone or enhance as I see No morals or ethics to hold me down. I’m as sick and perverse as can be My sinister obsession has driven me mad I've lost all humanity A deranged fixation of human potential I've lost all my sanity Work in the shadows to rule this world The sheppard to guide the sheep Creating a monster to enslave the masses A weapon that I can breed Pulling the strings from behind the scenes Hear whispers of my name No conscience polluting the progress I make I operate with no restraints Solo: Jonah K My sinister obsession has driven me mad I've lost all humanity A deranged fixation of human potential I've lost all my sanity My sinister obsession has driven me mad I've lost all humanity Experimentation with no restraints My greatest creation is me Solo: Edissi I am immortal I’ll always survive To study, to torment, to kill To use and dissect you Dead or alive For my nefarious thrill

Left to die in the Valley of Kings To perish in the sands I have been plagued with the destiny To rise above all man Fight to the death Prove your worth Only the strongest survive Bow down to me I am the reckoning Only the worthy will thrive My hatred for humanity Drove my righteous cause Cleanse the world of feeble life Disciples follow my laws Construct the tombs construct the shrines For I am living God Prepare the offerings Prepare the sacrifice To rid the world of its flaws Heed the warnings, flee in fear No one is safe from the morning's light Put to the test, the end is near Only the strongest survive Maim this world into dust From it’s ashes the strong will ascend My plan in motion, my foes are crushed All weakness comes to an end Solo: Jonah K I am the war that wages day and night, war I am the pestilence of young, old, weak, and poor I am the famine, raze all nourishment, raze I am death, I am the end of days Heed the warnings, flee in fear No one is safe from the morning's light Put to the test, the end is near Only the strongest survive Maim this world into dust From it’s ashes the strong will ascend My plan in motion, my foes are crushed All weakness comes to an end

Solo: Jonah K Sick, perverted mind must be locked away Hidden from the outside world for I am deranged Condemned to the callous walls of this padded cell I must gain my freedom from this padded hell Bonded with a lifeform that is not of this earth A spawn who’s lust for chaos only makes mine worse Bound at the blood, I am the perfect host Now we escape this cage to do what we love most The everlasting evil The parasitic reign Ceaseless need for violence The bodies lie in my wake Solo: Edissi Murder is an art that only we can understand Our vile thoughts so heinous, you cannot comprehend Find the nearest crowd to commence the killing spree We become the ultimate killing machine We form the perfect team, together as one No motive or plan to follow I just kill for fun Our former selves forgotten, we form a brand new beast The blood will flow, the heads will roll, from the lives I reap The everlasting evil The parasitic reign Ceaseless need for violence Bodies lie in my wake Addicted to the chaos Addicted to the gore Sadistic impulse fueling My constant need for more Solo: Edissi Solo: Jonah K Bask in the glory of the execution Slaughtering the innocent lives Bask in the beauty of noxious acts The beauty of genocide Sadism personified My parasitic reign Twisted, maniacal Evil flowing through my veins The everlasting evil The parasitic reign Ceaseless need for violence Bodies lie in my wake Addicted to the chaos Addicted to the gore Sadistic impulse fueling My constant need for more

The multiverse collapsing. There is no hope in sight This cataclysmic crisis. This despondent fight I have to do what I must, to save reality All the others have failed. This power beckons me I have travelled beyond the stars Beyond the heavens and hell I have salvaged all I could Yet I’m still trapped in this empty shell I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy This is a means to an end. I have pruned the weeds To see this orchid flourish. I am what all life needs This world knows not of my crimes, only my iron fist You may remember my past, they know not what they’ve missed I’ve been betrayed by the one I trust By the one I thought understood I have provided this pure salvation Because there is no other that could I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy Underestimate the power I wield This power from beyond With this slander your fate is sealed I send you to where you belong Solo: Jonah K Solo: Edissi Through pain I have gained great clarity Let us finish this as gods The battle you wage reeks of machination Has this all been a con? My omnipotence was not enough I have been deceived I saved millions while you saved yourself Tell me what have you achieved? I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy I have made myself a god Yet it’s still beneath me The embodiment of all infamy I'm still the villain despite all my deeds Despite all my efforts, you always succeed I had all the power, I sat on the throne I had all the power, I’ve been overthrown I had all the power, I sat on the throne I had all the power. I’ve lost. I’m alone I’m lost and alone Solo: Edissi

Summoned to the Temple of Three To partake in the test A challenge of our sorcery To see who's the best We must settle our destiny The trials are vigorous Only one shall rule supreme Only one’s victorious My triumph. My torment Through all I’ve attained, I still lament I’ve made a vow, I’ve sworn an oath Despite the cost, I’ll free her soul I have studied the ancient texts I have honed these arts My technology I have hexed To tear this devil apart I have mastered every spell I’ve learned every attack Standing at the gates of Hell There is no turning back My triumph. My torment The catalyst of this dark descent The Netherworld, the land of hate Where evil reigns, the dark one waits Advance towards the infernal fray We must make this monster pay We will fight until our dying breath Despite the fact that this quest is perilous I’ve endured the agonies Overcome the odds Defeated calamity I’ve conquered the world and held the power of gods I’ll triumph My torment You’ll meet your reckoning I’ve conquered the world and now I’ll conquer Hell You, the beast, so vile and treacherous You can try to steal our souls A feat so foolish, so risky and dangerous We’ve enhanced like never before You, the serpent, the monster of this realm We fight in your domain Gather your demons, your legions of Hell For we are who shall remain As a single tear falls, I had come to take her home She sees my designed betrayal as such She’d rather rot than be freed to roam The final piece of my plan transpires just too late We must still deceive this beast to escape Am I cursed, or is this fate? Solo: Jonah K Solo: Edissi My plan was so rigorous A near perfect execution Despite all I’ve lost At last her dissolution She’s freed from the clutches Of the King of the Damned No longer his captive To hold over my head I’ve endured the agonies Overcome the odds Defeated calamity I’ve conquered the world and held the power of gods We’ve triumphed Your torment You have met your reckoning We struck you down and have our victory

I just found these guys and after celebrating Fearsick I immediately came here and had to buy this as well. It might eben be better than Fearsick but who cares. Both are phenomenally good. Old schoolish perfection with powerful modern production. Every song is a fucking killer. mourner
