Let The Games Begin 06:58
lyrics
buy track
I am coming down with a sickness I feel my vital essence thin Hate and love and everything in between Is being purged From deep within Mental blocks are lifting Well-buried age old painful memories unearthed The locks on the chest being opened The curse is lifted My animal instincts being rebirthed I won't turn a blind eye to the hate I stand up for the maligned I am intolerant of intolerance The weapons of my war being designed This is music to my ears The sounds of judgement being made Enslaved by outdated capitalist society The coming of the herald of the new age The walled off fortress of safety Fortified by antiquated views Is now beginning to crumble I guess you haven't heard the news The games are about to begin The world is privy to your sin Try as you might you can't conceal your truth Who you are is not what you let us view Blood thirst building in the community Tired of existing at the base of the pile The one percent are facing ultimatum But your judgements coming Time to stand your trial

Mad Men Carry The Masks 07:48
lyrics

The mad Men Carry The Masks The man men carry the masks Pigs of humanity Fit to burst Stuffed to the brim with a confluence Of money, power and prestige The last Vestige Of the dying days of a broken system In dire need of repair The fire in your eyes Flickering away Gasping for air All your hopes are dashed And the masks have the plans laid bare Nefariously Disasterously Waging war on the working class Hedge your bets Pray on the weak And get a payout if your horse wins Evil tycoons Hellish typhoons A conflux of motherfuckers I can see you You're hiding behind I can see you You are hiding behind Cowardly filth of this earth Living off the fat of the land Has made you yellow and selfish Like a fucking starfish Square, circle triangle Umbrella, moon and star There's no more time left For your self-centred smug fucking face For the avenging angel knows what you are

Hunger For Power 05:32
lyrics
buy track
Insatiable starvation Monetary cultivation Low hanging fruit Still somehow out of reach Instilled with the promise Of riches and fame Since the genesis of our life We all know who is to blame Making the world go around Pound for pound, the root of all evil Maybe in the autumn of your years You will still have Spring in your step Or maybe this Winter of discontent Will aid Summer those that aren't in debt Hunger for power Hunger for World domination Elites in the ivory Tower Deserving of swift retaliation From the frying pan Into the frier From the scalding steam Into the fire 'Superiors' have deemed you unfit for life None can escape, child, husband or wife Doomed to repeat selfish mistakes Until the entertainment cycle breaks The need for greed is completely obscene Holding firm grip on society The workers and soldiers on their knees Enslaved forever to the Queen Bees

about

Sandwiched in between the clamour of the rapturously-received album 'Horrific Synthesis' and the upcoming mystery album released for Demonic Bishop's 30th birthday celebration, this all-new and incredible EP release, 'Let The Games Begin' is equal parts flash and fury!!

Recorded, written, mixed, mastered and released on the spur of the moment and entirely on a mobile phone, this 3-track masterclass of all things Infernal Symphony was recorded during a bout of white-hot rage and was used to purge various insidious feelings away. The sound and feel of the album evokes pure dread as you can literally hear the emotions and anguish overflowing through each second of listening pleasure.

Influenced and inspired equally by the thought-provoking horror/suspense TV show of the moment, AND a certain hot-button issue pervading social media at the moment regarding a certain someone within a certain metal festival, 'Let The Games Begin EP' is a contemporary explosion of cutting-edge metal fury and captures the zeitgeist in the right place at the right time.

Long and progressive tracks full of atmospheric, avant garde, raw and tastefully bizarre sounds are the bread and butter of this EP, which simultaneously calls back to early highs like 3rd album 'Psychopathic Remains', and more recent material such as 'Columns Of Deformity'.

Always ones to pride themselves on the quality of their short form releases, Infernal Symphony invite you to partake in perhaps the most bloodthirsty and juiciest slice of blackened death metal Prog insanity they have ever served up - juicy not only in musical content, but also with regard to the themes, lyrics, and statement-making form that band leader and sole musical contributor Demonic Bishop has in spades for the intolerant amongst us.

So, listen to and enjoy this unexpected EP - and may it's musical masterclass educate you not only in the ways of war, but also in those of inclusivity, injustice, capitalism and the word on everyone's disgusting lips!
