lesserknownsounds The slow shift of focus from David to Mel has been divisive for the fanbase, but the "Enyo Era" albums have proven that you don't need to have a super heavy style to achieve the adrenaline of metal, you just need a fast BPM, a nice blend of instruments, and great vocals, no matter if it's growling, screaming, or otherwise melancholic. Favorite track: Mechina - Freedom Foregone.

Owen W Mechina leans heavily on their symphonic side to make an album of soaring industrial ragers. Clean vocals take up the majority of the runtime, and they stack well with the strings and other symphonic touches. The chugging tech-death-y core instrumentals provide a rock-solid foundation for those symphonic parts. It all goes down so easily that it feels a good deal shorter than its hour-long runtime. Favorite track: Mechina - Blood Feud Erotica.

andreuswolf As regards the metaplot of Mechina's music in general... I find this album deeply confusing. It serves mostly as a retread of events previously depicted in Acheron, but seen mostly from the perspective of Enyo, whose motivations were explored at length in As Embers Turn To Dust and Telesterion. Did we really need a whole album to discuss something we already saw happen, and whose inciting motivation we already know? Favorite track: Mechina - Blood Feud Erotica.

You have your father's eyes Forged by war Earthly Do you know of Earth Amyntas? Do you know of war? Your father knew of both quite well The visions Countless memories Only humans endure the cruelty of time Remain nameless and live slow in the shadows or find what burns behind every light and die like the Titans

Wistful dream please cease My eyes, they open wide Nature knows no peace If they only knew how cruel Fate is only chaos Entwined Random If you could see beneath my skin Synthetic fiber I still remember the art of being human So cold in this moment Searching for pleasure My lust for blood loss My legion, they see me Endless progress tends to be oh so fragile Our world has never known seamless perfection Tell me what is the difference between violence and force Nature's only momentum is forward Show me what is the difference between lust and war This seed will lead to the god machine Falling under So cruel If they could only see and feel the world that came before us They could remember Blood drips from every human hand So cold in this moment Searching for pleasure My lust for blood loss My legion, they see me Send my body deeper into darkness Our world has never know How quick it all falls Tell me what is the difference between violence and force Nature's only momentum is forward Show me what is the difference between lust and war Dictate the pace as my armies march Tell me what is the difference between violence and force Nature's only momentum is forward Show me what is the difference between lust and war This seed, the key to our god machine

Tearing through the fog, this sword brings light All eyes must be locked to the sky Weapons burn the air This golden storm engulfs every open space within the sky The face behind our shock doctrine will scar every life Legion hear me sing my sword song The old world echos through bones to get me high Legion we must bleed this world dry Tearing through the void My warlords collide As they bleed out, they wail to the sky Let the wounded crawl to find their own tomb Nameless and forgotten bloodline The face behind our shock doctrine will scar every life Legion hear me sing my sword song The old world echos through bones to get me high Legion we must bleed this world dry The face behind our shock doctrine will scar every life Legion hear me sing my sword song The old world echos through bones to get me high Legion we must bleed this world dry

With no sense of height My body and mind bound to Phedra's light Have they forgotten Tales from the old world Watch our scars reopen Let it pour Standing alone like a ghost in a fog Wind swept in the everlasting storm The embers of this world Soon will be lifeless dust Never forgive Never again Our eyes deceived by lies Our hearts corrupted by design Our mind, oh so fragile Watch it crumble Have they forgotten Tales from the old world Watch our scars reopen Let it pour She once said, fate is a lie Please tell that to them Trails of fire rip through orbit So it begins Some flee and take to the sky Some burrow under Hear them breathe Hear them sing Honor the war machine Trails of fire rip through orbit At any moment you'll see a world come undone Standing alone like a ghost in a fog Wind swept in the everlasting storm Through the breeze War echoes Thunder howls from above The silent fires will engulf My world's fallen silent Guided by the hand of war These blood feuds could last for eons Watch them charge into the fold In rows, they all fall The embers of this world Soon will be lifeless dust Never forgive Never again Our eyes deceived by lies Our hearts corrupted by design Our mind, oh so fragile Watch it crumble Have they forgotten Tales from the old world Watch our scars reopen Let it pour She once said the essence of life Came from the sky Chained to orbit, forced to witness this horror unfold She once said, fate is a lie Please tell that to them Daedalus, hear my words Once I leave here every Titan will fall silent At any moment you'll see a world come undone Have they forgotten Tales from the old world Watch our scars reopen Let it pour She once said the essence of life Came from the sky Chained to orbit, forced to witness this horror unfold She once said, fate is a lie Please tell that to them Daedalus, hear my words Once I leave here every Titan will fall silent At any moment you'll see a world come undone

Legion, ready your weapons. We paint our faces and shields with foriegn blood Our destiny unfolds as siege breakers Our only purpose is to conquer Destabilize, our propaganda will push a divide into unrest They leave with nothing left Slowly forcing their hand We breed traitors within They leave with nothing left Your honor bound as the protectorate of this new world We have enjoyed peace, for far too long. Shield your ears, now we sing our sword song This war, between two world, will never be forgotten Our hearts become frozen Legion, rally your hatred. We patiently await the call, within the shadows Our destiny unfolds as siege breakers Our only purpose is to slaughter Destabilize, these burning cities will be driven into famine Their hearts must be broken Slowly forcing their hand We breed traitors within They leave with nothing left Your honor bound as the protectorate of this new world We have enjoyed peace, for far too long. Shield your ears, while we sing our sword song This war, between two world, will never be forgotten Our hearts become frozen We breathe. They weep. We feed in their defeat In silence, we wait, within the shadows until nightfall Your honor bound as the protectorate of this new world We have enjoyed peace, for far too long. Shield your ears, now we sing our sword song This war, between two world, will never be forgotten Our hearts become frozen

Break the line and let me pass I should witness all the chaos So beautiful, oh so dreadful Mother, must you see your daughter Reborn as a warlord I love the sound of warm blood splashing into armor Every life my legion will find Must decide Body or mind Smoke bellows in the sunset This world is falling Virton, can you hear me? Leave nothing left and drive them under Countless lives on both sides Dancing atop a man made line Honor through war Embrace the maelstrom We the godless Those who conquer Hold the line I feel the ground begin to tremble Our peacekeeper has arrived Legion, hear me We drive harder Burning every border Don’t mind the sound The horrible choir of weeping mothers I’ll wade and crawl for endless days and nights Knee deep in blood Our hands slowly binding their throat Erotic culling Virton, can you hear me? Drive them under Honored children of war Don’t close your eyes, you must bare witness This world, overrun with traitors Please open your eyes and bare witness No hope for my blood lust to ever be subdued Legion, we drive forward Dance, my weapons Shatter steel Rend flesh I drive my weapons deeper Until I feel dirt Your temples and relics will all burn Countless lives on both sides Dancing atop a man made line Honor through war Embrace the maelstrom We the godless Those who conquer

Salt their would Bring me their young and old I shall paint with them A portrait, to remember Outside the walls, we slaughter every living creature Sacrificed, one by one Sister Alithea, take one more step and you’ll be labeled a traitor No quarter for the sick By force, we accelerate our evolution As morning glows above, Banshees begin to hunt By force, we accelerate our evolution Closed eyes Hasten our demise Forge your faith through conflict Be reborn by holy combat See my blade feed the god that grows inside me I can hear them sally forth to face us Their armor shines in the light Their flags dance in the wind We poison our blood Prepare our bodies for the trauma Blood loss will come Sister Alithea, take one more step and you’ll be labeled a traitor No quarter for the sick By force, we accelerate our evolution As morning glows above, Banshees begin to hunt By force, we accelerate our evolution Once more, we charge into oblivion Salt their wound, embrace the blood feud We cast our hearts into darkness Once more, we charge into oblivion Amyntas, you will lose this world Feel the battle rhythm as endless waves collide Feast upon the terror, these weapons thirst for more In our final moment, as light begins to fade Glory turns to sorrow, fortune favors only one Hydrus coursing through our veins Watch our hate accelerate As the blood stings my two eyes Watch my hate eviscerate

The siege falls silent Drape our flag upon the Titan throne As day turns to night, the flames illuminate Tired eyes, yet still alive Without reprieve, we let the wounded bleed The absent crown will bring their walls down Virton, he beckons for our withdraw His weapon charged to Purge this world and burn the skyline Rinse my blade with rain Cascading water, it pours from fractured steel So high above I feel the storm approaching It turns to face us Hydrus has blessed us with cleansing victory The worlds which we burn are the worlds which we deserve With holy fire, I desecrate the throne The endless eyes upon my weapons deep within a burning pyre I forge more power from dead kingdoms Without reprieve, we let the dying sleep This shattered crown, it's dust consumed by endless rainfall Purge this world and burn the skyline As long as we breathe, they shall never know peace Centari stars begin to rise They strain our eyes The worlds which we burn are the worlds which we deserve Freedom forgone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom forgone We must remember The old world still remains deep within us Freedom undone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom forgone We must remember The old world still remains deep within us Purge this world and burn the skyline Rinse my blade with rain Cascading water, it pours from fractured steel So high above I feel the storm approaching It turns to face us Hydrus has blessed us with cleansing victory The worlds which we burn are the worlds which we deserve Freedom forgone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom forgone We must remember The old world still remains deep within us Freedom undone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom forgone We must remember The old world still remains deep within us We feel it in the air Nature's empty stare Unrelenting carelessness Alive, with no heart We see the burning fear in their eyes Let's make it hurt I'll make this hurt We take away their mind Bodies so broken Left to wander this wasteland Ghost of Acheron Amyntas, I know you hear me Dead or alive Freedom forgone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom forgone We must remember The old world still remains deep within us Freedom undone Blur their vision from the chaos Run and hide or stand and have your Freedom taken away forever, I hope you relish in your final sunrise
