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.

Twitter is awful.
Also, become a fan of us on Facebook. I'd give an address if Facebook could figure out how to make the URL easy. Just search for LICH KING, filter out the shitty Warcraft pages and that's us. You could also search for THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME.
A big development happened today. It may lead to things. Certain things. Certain things that won't get mentioned now. Stay tuned.

Bad review number 2!
Thanks to Kevin for notifying me of this. From Metal-Archives.com:
Attention, people, be it pricks or oldies, homeless dicks or Hollywood stars, thrashers or nonthrashers! This is the Shroomie Control Center here, responding to the nonsensically ferocious jaws of praise that grabbed this album and don't let it go! I mean, yeah, I saw fine albums bashed by otherwise fine reviewers, and now I see the opposite thing! I guess that Hulk sniffed some glue and started this thrash band.
I am a fan of the ol' good Bay Area sound, and I don't have problems with humour in music or rawer production. "Then this album should have done the trick!" Noooo, go trick your nuts and hit 'em with a truck, it would give much better results than this album.
Round 1: Raw Production enters the ring, it looks pretty grizzly, it's trebly, it's razor-sharp, it's thrusting its fist towards you!!! But wait, what was that? Oh, no! Raw Production's arch nemesis, Tone Thinness, along with her older sister, Idiotically Thin Guitar Tone, jump in front of Raw Production! So exciting! What is happening right now? Raw Production is beaten to the ground and gangbanged by the two vile characters! What a manky mode to end such a promising fight and knock Raw Production values off!
Round 2: The Skvllfvcking Riffz Gang is hotter than ever! They promised us a masterful display of old-school techniques in order to determine the listeners to bang their heads and bite their tongues. Yes! YES!! The Skvllfvcking Riffz Gang succeeded in almost ripping off the beginning from Vio-Lence's Eternal Nightmare! So old-school, so refreshing, so invigorating! Now it's time for the Bonescrewing Dictator Of Rehashment And Radioactive Boredom to make its appearance! And he has a giant bazooka, omgz! The Gang won't give up, and they try to kick his sorry ass to pieces, but one shot from the Dictator's bazooka is enough to convert them to crappy, repetitive, bland riffs hopping all around the place! And there's the Dummy-Drummy Tiny Magician, trying to do his best in drumming and save the Gang from being lynched by the angry metalhead mob! Instead of grandiloquent, solid, relentless beating, he can only draw a slower than fast general tempo, a few farty "yo homey" breakdowns (a term coined by confrontational writer and thrash philosopher UltraBoris) and stinky cymbal sounds that make everything worse! Pathetic, indeed!
Round 3: The Almighty "Slick Dick Cuntpiercer" Lead Guitar! Oh, wait, he seldom burps a solo, each solo is standard, has been smoked before and will therefore be IGNORED.
Round 4: The Groaning Losertron gives his peak performance! What kind of question is "what performance", you goose? It's screaming! Screaming and screaming and screaming and screaming, only high-pitched screaming, no bleeding. Pointlessness blessed this guy with a nice set of funny lyrics and an even nicer set of lack of talent.
In a nutshell: Nocturnal Breed, Mastery et al. take the cake for serious thrash assaults! Lich King take the Manboobs Award for being so persuasive, so motivated and so... so... so... so... so covering those two awesome songs by ony veteran act and one incredibly awesome act! They should do only covers, it would be so much better. This album sounds just like a bunch of rehearsals with two excellent covers at the end: a hairy Nenderthal guy with two superb boobs. And this, my friends, is sad.
It got a 35%. Nice! Thanks Eugene from Romania. You're energetic, but you're not as good a writer as you think you are- tone back on the stuff you think is funny by being random and esoteric, because... not so much.
What with all the rave reviews being posted all over the universe, it's refreshing to come across someone that can't see that NM was the best album of the last 167 years. It's like reading a Mad Lib- a silly, fun escape from reality.

Toxic Zombie Onslaught might be up... eventually
Yeah, sorry about that earlier report that it might be up that night. Obviously that didn't happen. I'm still waiting on the vocals and there have been setbacks. Once I get the vocals I'm plugging them in and banging the file up to myspace immediately. Till then, I'm going to cease to hype... I won't say it's coming until it's up.

Toxic Zombie Onslaught might be up tonight
That's right, the forthcoming classic song that I've been hyping for MONTHS finally has its vocals recorded, and I've been told that I'll have them in my hands as early as this afternoon. T.Z.O. could be smashing your ears into your skull tonight.

A hearty fuck you for some very special people.
The THRASHING LIKE A MANIAC tour is dead, or so my close personal sources say. I'm not sure what's even cool to reveal, so I'll just say that promoters and certain record company types got in the way and bogged down and eventually killed what would have been the coolest thrash show I had ever seen. The bill was amazing and I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to see something like that again, living in western Massachusetts like I do. These kinds of things don't happen out here. Sure, I might get to see (band) or (band) or maybe even the two together, but those four bands on one show? That was once in a lifetime for out here, and it died because of egos, money and top billing arguments. I'd love to name the companies at fault but I'm trying to court some of you bloodsuckers at present.
So. Fuck you and die to the people that cockblocked what may have been the coolest concert experience of my life.

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
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

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.
