about

The song “From the Surface Grate” precedes the choice of the band's name and was written in October 2019 in an attic on Rua da Matemática in Coimbra. Emerging in a period of newly found fascination with the Black Metal of bands like Watain, Mare Incognitum and Satyricon, this track seeks to mix the raw and cold emotion of that subgenre with the rhythmic aggressiveness of bands like Gojira and the vocal harshness of Dave Mustaine and Chuck Schuldiner.
With the initial intention of being a project that tells stories through Black Metal, “From the Surface Grate” brings to the forefront all the influences of Death and Thrash deeply rooted in a musical journey spanning more than 10 years, establishing some guidelines for the rest of the band's work, but still leaving many doors open.

"From The Surface Grate" premiered on the radio show Pecado Sonoro from Rádio Universidade de Coimbra on November 23rd and will be available on Youtube, Bandcamp, Spotify, Tidal and other platforms on November 27th 2020!

lyrics

From The Surface Grate

Verse
Cast down into a World of Pain
Lone yell from a throat insane.
No escape from my domain!
Forget the gift of being slain.

Verse
Frenetic flashes fill your eyes
Synaptic surges in disguise.
Tunnel hearing, distant cries,
Your mind starts telling lies.

Chorus
Tiny screech from the Surface Grate.
If they hear you, it’s too late.
No recovery from your state.
Monkeigh, your ass is mine! (x2)

Verse
Open your eyes to a new filth.
See your blood scattered and spilt.
Now begins, a kind of brith.
But no, you won’t be brief.

Verse
Necrotic tissue on the floor
Your body already part of the gore
Just hold one a little more,
Or Are you feeling too sore?
Muhahaha!

Chorus
Tiny screech from the Surface Grate.
If they hear you, it’s too late.
No recovery from your state.
Monkeigh, your ass is mine! (x2)

Bridge
In a parallel plane of reality
Your mind shielded from all insanity.
Say your goodbyes, your mind is gone.
Let it go my Child,
LET IT GO!
