Allegiant 04:13
Brothers Stand together Blood for the Blood Gods Skyfall begins This planet starts shaking Clouds break open The end soon beginning Our hunger for blood Stronger than pride Our hatred of mankind The reason we Fight We are sick, Tempered Ripped From the void Your gods Ours will destroy Unholy slaughter purely justified This world the theatre of Genocide We are legion The mouths of the ones Whose names you don’t speak We are the destroyer Remember these words Sanity is for the weak The Power of the warp A curse and a blessing Blame your false idols For the power you’re missing Now fall fall to the ground Prey to your Emperor Where is he now?

The Hog 06:06
Erinaceinae Evolutions great creation Atelerix The species of destruction Know my name For it will be the last thing that you Ever say Anointed in your blood Forever you will stay A memory of fucking hatred Stay away If your life you indeed value Another day In the shadow of my anger Another day In the life of the… Five thousand spines Five thousand ways to die Razor like claws That I’ll use to tunnel through your soul Call me cute and learn A wrath you’ve never know before I’ll be your tormentor For I am the Hog I am the Hog The root of Hell Has been fortified By those that dig And become immortalized Eyes black as pitch I see through the night Hiding in darkness For fear of the light It’s sanctuary Sanctuary! Round and round The wheel slowly goes Only stopping to devour those That dare to call me small The gnashing and gnawing My mighty jaws make The breaking and crutching Of the lives that I take I am the Hog Spires That pierce the sky Messenger Messenger of nocturnal kind Our Kind I am the Hog

We are the ones We are the fodder To feed the young Your sons and Daughters We are the ones Lambs to the slaughter We are the ones We are the ones How long will it be Until we're consumed by you and me? How long do we have to survive? We are the fault in our design Rend the old Rend the weak Put the useless ones to sleep Will there be anyone left alive? We are running out of time We are the ones But death will not come If we find we find another way We are the fall Or death to us all If we don't find another way Tell me how long How long will it be Until we are your fuel We are the ones We are the ones

Bright Eyes Burning through my Why do you Why do you keep me suffering Faceless crowds below Walk in endless fields Their souls in tow These walls that surround me Are built up like an effigy I look to the sky The darks is all I see These chains that pierce my bleeding skin Wrap around me Over and over again I try to scream But not a sound I hear These walls are projecting Endless dark energy Something's about to give Something's about to break The floor below gives way These chains tighten A voice beckons to stay Tell me why Won't you let me die? I wake up in a cold sweat Fuck me It's happened again How long Is this to be my fate? Bright Eyes Burning through my Why do you Why do you keep me suffering Faceless crowds below Walk in endless fields Their souls in tow Now I finally know The pleasure I derive from pain It comes from hurting you So break apart the walls And breaking my fucking chains I can't believe After all this this time The answer has always been right there Now I finally see The reason I can't safe myself It's all because you bring out the dark in me

about

Entitled Architeuthis - ärkə’t(y)üthəs\ meaning "Giant Squid", this 4-track EP is rife with Iconography and symbolism of creatures greatly misunderstood in real life.

By example, the Giant Squid is a creature found in many myths and legends that can grow up to a tremendous size and evoke fear in many. They were first mentioned by Aristotle, Pliny the Elder and others. There are many legends of this creature, such as in Norse mythology (The Kraken, a tentacled sea monster that would engulf and sink any ship). However, in reality, there have been very few sightings and no actual deaths due to the creature.

It is analogous with how those who are different are often mistreated because of their outward appearances. In accordance with this theme, the cover art portrays this creature in an environment where they seem grotesque and out of place.

Riddlebreak explores the monstrous within, but by understanding, accepting and embracing it, the monstrous can overcome it. Frank the bunny (our furry representative) is ever present. Maybe saving the day, or creating mischief (we're never sure, he's a sly one).
