Cherubian One of the better modern metalcore releases I've heard lately. Nice groovy EP. Shame this is their last work as I've discovered these guys right now...

Wolfstar Farewell to one of the most creative and passionate bands of the decade. I'm so lucky to have discovered you and this final album has been the icing on your glazed donut 0-shaped discs. You'll be stuck in my playlists forever and your reasons for dissolving the band are some of the most honorable I've seen. Glad you've gone out with a bang-er like this. \m/ Favorite track: Look To The East.

Groovetrain 05:30
This world isn't like the one I believed. Like somehow I'm being deceived. I think I ended up in the wrong place. Like time changed and left me in a different pace. My heart begins to race. I'm looking at a different face. My heart begins to race. I'm looking at a different face. I can tell that we share the same name. An altered me with the same exact brain. This might sound so insane but I think I slipped into different frame. I don't recognize this earth. I'm not wearing the same clothes. I still haven't seen the worst. I don't know what to propose. Slightly different hair, eyes, teeth, and nose. I don't know why but did I die? I don't know why but did I die? I don't know what to say, in a different body than yesterday. I wish I could hit rewind. Is this all just a trick of my mind? The only thing I know for sure is that I'm not who I was before. Maybe I should try and explore but I"m scared to even open the door. What happened to my past? Maybe this life's better than my last. Looking for details I might have missed. I'm confused did I even exist? I don't recognize this earth. On the table I see a gun. I still haven't seen the worst. Think to myself what must be done. End it all now before this new life's begun. Pull the trigger and wake up in bed. Turns out this was all in my head.

Echo 04:08
Most don't know about their ego. The one that pulls the strings it lies and tells you things. It won't quit if you feed it. Just let this moment pass and these thoughts will not last. Thoughts won't last. Which one is you when you do what you do. See that there's two inside of you take the cue. You can't be free free from thee when you're me. Mentally. Perpetually. Duality. We have been conditioned to be these robots But we're more than our thoughts. A disaster who's the master? Do we have control? Do we have a soul? Most don't know about their ego. The one that pulls the strings it lies and tells you things. It won't quit if you feed it. Just let his moment pass and these thoughts will not last. Do I even dare to believe I'm self aware? Kill your ego. It's time to let go. Kill your ego. It's time to let go. Most don't know about their ego. The one that pulls the strings it lies and tells you things. A disaster who's the master? Do we have control? Do we have a soul? Oh who can I trust when I'm just conscious start dust? Do I even dare to believe I'm self aware?

Shapeshifter 05:07
I watched you walk away. After these years nothing left to say. I gave my everything. Now you're the reason I have to sing. Realizing you were nothing that I need. I gave my life away to your own selfish greed. Upon my soul is how you would use to feed. Possessing me now I am finally freed. You said you wanted to be my wife. You said I was your entire life. You're a shapeshifter. You're always changing your form. Who are you now? Who were you before? You're a shape shifter. Right in front of my eyes. I can't recognize you without your disguise. Your disguise. We watched your mother die. I watched you cry and cry. We gave it a last try. You told the biggest lie. This is your goodbye. This is your goodbye. This is your goodbye. This is your goodbye. You're a shapeshifter. You're always changing your form. Who are you now? Who were you before? You're a shapeshifter. Right in front of my eyes. Can't recognize you without your disguise. Your disguise. What happened to our ways? To soul mates, to our first dates? And in the end again I lost my best friend, my best friend. After a thousand days we went our separate ways. After a thousand days we went our separate ways.

Five-0 03:38
These cops have a problem with me. So I'm yelling out ACAB. It's become so apparent to see you were only cool when I watched you on my TV. What you gonna do when they come for you? You couldn't even win a game of clue so I'm yelling out fuck the boys in blue. You pulled me over with a gram of weed And then again the very next week. Said you were gonna bring in the dogs I said go right ahead you fucking hogs. I said i'm sorry that you were bulled in school And that your shiny badge makes you feel real cool. Protect and serve is your creed but the power is what you need. The power's what you need. The power's what you need. Fuck yeah. Suck my fucking dick Officer Brady. Fuck the police. ACAB fuck the police. Brain washed army fuck the police. ACAB fuck the police. Brain washed army fuck the police.

If the earth were destroyed, some days I'd be grateful. Then I remember the times when I wasn't so hateful. So many tragedies, obstacles to overcome. I've lost my spark for life and let myself go numb. No one will dig me out from this hole. I need to take the blame and take back control. The state of the world has taken its toll. I've let anxiety drain me of my soul. No more there's always tomorrow. Can't wait another day. Opportunities need seized. I wont let them slip away. Get lost in a moment. Watch a beautiful sunrise. Remember the magnificence right before your own very eyes. Don't care who is watching if you want to sing or dance. Tell someone how you feel and take that chance. They can broadcast all of their fear. Turn the channel off and make it disappear. It's time to wake up and live. You only get back what you give. Spending time in the darkness I always embraced the night. But now I'm finally ready to step into the light. Quit feeling helpless and join in the fight. Quit feeling helpless and join the fight. Quit feeling helpless and join the fight.

about

Our final EP. Thank you all for the unbelievable amount of support over the years. This band has taken us on a grand musical journey that would not have been possible without the support of our fans across the globe.

We've composed our strongest group of songs for our last release, the sonic culmination or Apotheosis of our sound. Beauty and Brutality existing in harmony.

Thank you, everybody. Much love, stay metal.
