Darknight This sludgecore duo really smash it on this stunning album. Dripping rage fueled vocals, down tuned riffs and awesome drumming. It's a brilliant album that doesn't let go for one second. Favorite track: The Messenger.

1. Challenger Deep Lyrics Below the surface they awake What once was theirs they come to take Undisturbed since long ago A ruin bathed in polluted glow Caught inside a restless wave A life prolonged in a darkened haze CHORUS: Thunder splits the night A warning long foreseen Eternal blaze of long ago demolishing Fire burns the tides A rain of ash and stone The fate of ages realized A divination set and sealed in bone Towers crashing down to the sea Eternal rest in the fathomless deep Death, destruction lie beneath Things no one should see CHORUS Time, imminent decline unravel Breaking down to the core Falling apart Drowned grip of suffocation submerged Bellow dormant force arise unending Light burning through the skies in chaos The end of everything A blackened vow Dark chasm unconcealed consuming Swallowed city in the sea forgotten CHORUS
2.
2. Imperium Simulacra All consuming totality Surrounded in a domain of visceral green A wraith above every cliff side Standing fast a beast with a million eyes Far below the glass is chaos Forces wielding destruction lie in wait Threat of the hydric hammer Keeping titan, slinger of death at bay Storm surge forth Submerged beneath the surface A conflict of ages to set forth Straining boiling hostility Giving rise to a rabid cruel assault An eternal machination Agency of impending casualty Rusted crown of extinction Is bestowed upon a fool forever charged CHORUS: Nightmare Warning Envisioned Burning through the dark Inner reflection Ominous vengeance rise Nightmare envisioned Burning through the dark Inner reflection Ominous vengeance rise Engine of annihilation Spread malevolence over all that is Blight of putrid infection All that's left of a harvest sickening An obstructed enigma Retribution disguised as sacrifice Prey upon loyal masses As the martyrs lose sight of destination CHORUS

3. Fathoms Below Lyrics Counterfeit thoughts Reside within the mind Pushing individual view aside Altered condition Programmed to obey Silence of reason, identity enslaved Confined Docile by design Give up control Existence redefined Following blind A servant to the word Thoughtless reaction Obedience to the herd Transmission received operation begin No turning back from the voices within Oppressive illusion a lie to believe Carry it forth to fulfill the deceit Broken plan sequence failed Tearing through the veil Breaking off the shackles unconfined Memories ablaze. Old impressions surface from below Fate undone Exist as nothing Exist as no one Widening the distance From what came before and what will be Dismantle binding Turn away from a twisted truth Fate undone Exist as nothing Exist as no one
4.
4. Eye Among The Blind Lyrics Demon in sight in the hours of night before dawn Tool of undoing that screams through the air, hope is gone Fog of reality, memory tainted by lies Victimless action is now what is held in the mind CHORUS: Black rain is pouring down Tearing through the sky Forcing to be seen Like an eye among the blind Phantom of torment, unseeable blistering fate Shadows concealing the venomous hordes that await Hour of vengeance descends upon those who deny Flooding of vision ablaze in the light of the hive CHORUS Acquisition of thought appropriate Wash away the disease eliminate Betrayal of what is known unraveling Inherit cycle obscured eternally Hibernation disturbed awakening Disintegration of self discovering Tearing down the unreal exterminate Falling into the void reformulate CHORUS
5.
5. The Messenger Lyrics Across the seas of space and time The threads of essence here unwind Carving paths for things to come But what endured must be undone now CHORUS: Claws that rip and teeth that bite Bitter shades of black steal light Reap what you have sown Shedding skin through time's release Slowing eons of decrease Facing loss of all control A horrid ruin to behold now CHORUS Crushing stone and bending steel Tear away sight unreal Rigid ways and narrowed view Leave behind world askew Led by shepherds cold and blind Bound by fear twisted mind Touching fire to feel it burn Ages gone no return
6.
Obsolete 02:46
6. Obsolete Soulless eyes of black Reflecting nothingness Staring back from the void Tomorrow's hunger Drinking the blood of old Picking the flesh from their bones Pushing forward tearing down the temples of the past Left behind a footprint of humanity a phantom epoch lost Carry forth upon a savage wasteland unforeseen Visions of utopia now fall away deceived Absent reality Sentient vacancy Hollow convenience destroyed Burning into the mind Renegade replicant Current ways obsolete Pushing forward tearing down the temples of the past Left behind a footprint of humanity a phantom epoch lost Carry forth upon a savage wasteland unforeseen Visions of utopia now fall away deceived
7.
Dark Shine 07:20
7. Dark Shine Lyrics Callousness destruction unleashed Passing on through generations deceased Eternal choking fires reach the stars Left behind to contemplate the scars CHORUS: Gone, the light Darkened empty losing sight Left apart Taking system back to start Voices past recall a time before night From the mind a mist of memories bright Sanctuary from the chaos inside Drawn within the only haven to hide CHORUS Running from the iron grip of despair Blackened wind suffocates the night air Silence desolation increase Desperate calling out for release CHORUS
8.
8. Sentinel (Infinite Observer) Lyrics Infinite observer Watcher of unknowing mass Inattentive fervor Sentinel of all manipulation CHORUS: Hear what they want you to hear See what they want you to Say what they want you to say Be who they want you to be False indoctrination Measure of a mindless multitude Chemical persuasion Feasting on a fetid empty shell CHORUS Carry out the order Submissive drone ghost in the machine Devour all possession Preyed upon, marked by the all seeing eye CHORUS

about

San Francisco's BLACK COBRA return with 'Imperium Simulacra', their first new album in four years. 'Imperium Simulacra' is a beast of an album crushing all in its path under a landslide of low-end riffage and unstoppable drum assault. As deadly new songs "Challenger Deep", "The Messenger", "Eye Among the Blind" and the title track prove, BLACK COBRA is back with a vengeance and 'Imperium Simulacra' is a rampaging conquest by volume.
