TERROR CONSUMES is up... at last

Just put up the demo version of TERROR CONSUMES. This version's been around for about a half a year while I waited on the celebrity guest vocalist... who wound up letting me know he was no longer interested by ignoring repeated emails. Thanks dude.

So these vocals are the dummy vocals I put in just to show where the vocals went, and they're not so shabby. As it's a demo, almost everything's getting rerecorded.

Hell, I just realized this version might not even have the bass track. Funny.


What mind can't devour itself?
Atrophied ego, degenerate cells
Just beyond the curtain of dark
An unknown number, an unseen attack

Suggestions of something beyond
Moving about in dark attic rooms
Subconscious thought working against
Your own will
Terror Consumes

Dread's geometric design
Evolution's byproduct, sickening fear
The mind simply cannot abide
All of the things that it can't stop creating

Branches black against the sky
Brain is imprisoned and skull is a tomb
Beckoning arms of the night
Calling you
Terror Consumes

Terror Consumes

No release from horror
Recreation recombines
Charming by the light of day
By night it realigns

Anxiety will overcome
And all the world's askew
You can't see the ghost
But be assured, the ghost sees you

Pale radiance as day breaks again
Heaving a sigh as the witch takes its leave
Go hide in the hours of the sun
But time is a cycle, it's finite, and soon is it spent

On the horizon the sun
Is dying and red in a worsening gloom
You will return to the house
that you built
Terror Consumes

3rd album update

I gave an update a while back. Here's an updated update. The songs for the third album are currently (and in no particular order)

Terror Consumes
ED-209
Lich King III
A Storm of Swords
Waste
Act of War
annnd one that I finalized the arrangement for today. It might make the first track. It's called... Behaver.

We're unsure at this point as to whether the Aggressive Perfector cover is going in there or what... We're not too worried about it. Also? We might put on Grindwheel, which is a song we did about three or four years back, before we ever got serious about this stuff. It's got a slower sludgy thing going on. I think I can heavy it up a bit. There's no current title for the album. We're batting around some ideas.

The cover art is in progress and is about half done. I expect it to be done sometime over the next month. Here's a hint: It features the Lich King. It also features zombies. Gasp! Spoiler alert, LOL

So there, yer updated. Shaddap.

New Lich King song is a week away

And I know you're all excited. Yes, in my capacity as the frontman for the greatest thrash metal band in the world I come up with a lot of brutal shit. This time, though, I've been entirely outclassed by Diamond Plate's Konrad Kupiec, a sixteen year-old shredder that put me out to pasture with his guest soloing. This is coming up in Office Politics, which should be a Thrash Unlimited exclusive very soon, mostly likely Friday the 18th.

Office Politics

I'm a white collar death machine with murder on his mind
A psychopathic madman caught up in the daily grind
Inter-office enmity has brought me to this place
I want to take a Sharpie and then stab it in your face

Backstabbing chickenshit has gone over my head
Told the boss about the files that I knew I should have shred
Now I'm in my cubicle and darkly thinking how
I could end this punk with pain and settle back and disavow

I wish it were five o'clock
Wait for you out in the parking lot
I could kill you
I will kill you
I will finish the job you should have done for yourself

Mosh!

Take a ride to Staples on my lunch hour just to check
If they're selling something I could use to stab you in the neck
Maybe human resources has something I could read
That'll help me practice policy while causing you to bleed

I take my glasses off and I loosen up my tie
It's almost time to go and help a brown noser to die
Say goodnight to Bob and take the elevator down
Grab a tire iron and then put it in your crown

You know you asked for this
Fight for your life, stand and try to resist
I can kill you
I will kill you
Put down your briefcase and ready yourself for the pain

Let's begin with this crap

Hi, I'm Tom the Lich King guy. You probably know me by my awesome album NECROMANTIC MAELSTROM that you bought four or five copies of. I'm going to start keeping a bloggy thing here, mostly because I'm bored, but also to see if I can't be one of those bloggers that gets a dopey following. I don't do enough bitching on Thrash Unlimited, time to bitch it up here.
