From beyond 04:37
Warm winds of fear Brought fourth across The ocean of degeneration Rediscovered abyss of the past Hidden deep within libraries of secret societies … SOCIETY Suns and stars emerge from dark chasms of the remote past Priests and kings who seek the truth must again doubt everything that ever was … POINTING WE DIE CONTAGIOUS MIND Strangers from another world anihilated part of mankind An image of misery Destined to fall I will be taken into the night Rediscovered abyss of the past Hidden deep within libraries of secret societies … SOCIETY Systematic toxic truths taking toll on time I have seen this place before but only in my mind Free me from eternity Save me from my soul I have lived this life many times before Rythms of the past contain DNA of future generations The deviant lives to roll in the shame A heinous disease tomorrow is gone FOREVER !!

How absent as I navigate Through seas of hate What happened to me Concentrate only on my own If only I can feel Some sort of reprise Yet I’m left with this INDIFERENCE INDIFERENCE INDIFERENCE How foolish As I try to make amends Couragious enough to let it all go All that has come from my sickness I will continue To absorb time Can’t hold it in I hate For no reason THE WORLD THE FUTURE It’s not just you Everything you need Who you want me to be Who you said I was

Fetid mass 03:39
I look into your eyes See inside my self Carrying this pain I look into your eyes See it’s not too late Burden is the shame Fetid mass Crippled brains Chemically poisoned Genetically altered Ridding our souls of ourselves FETID MASS NO MORE Beaten unforgivably Can not take anymore still nothing good exists Hated forever pestilence and war Tormented we live In a hateful world Only fragments of sanity raging out of control My only humanity drunken with brutality FETID MASS NO MORE DISEASED INFECTED FUCKED UP FETID MASS NO MORE

Structured 03:28
Structured Traped Within Mind Dies Without The yearning not forever existing just a little less Abandonment of faith Then quiver in disgrace What was ours is not mine You are trapped a mind inside The smile within a brain The yearning not forever Strumble Believe Fall Detach Foresee Forgive Confined within my own reality Sorrow felt within the soul Festered, not even worth the low Ridden sea of discontent Alone now, fragment Deep inside, the brain within Pressure building Symmetric design Everything is equal From all sides I’m alone now Left behind Just take it all Let me die What was ours Is not mine Never was
5.
Dead and dying tissue inside my brain The pain has turned into and evil entity Make you pity me For the killing that I do I know not what goes on what I do I think I will spill your blood Infarctions in my brain The madness is starting as I slip into this darkness The embolism is pulsing inside my brain chopping, hacking and the bones as they are cracking The only thing that will satisfy my tortured brain The victims picked at random Their health is no concern I do prefer the larges ones They endure the torture that I inflict This seems to calm the pain In my head I think I’ll burn your flesh Infarction rules my head You wish that you could die I’m not through with you Feel your tortured flesh To keep my mind from bursting out of my head Am I insane? Infarction rules my brain
6.
What a waste 04:09
So this is living? I don’t want it Take it back now Dreaming of the life I should be living Mutating into something that they made me Dying I don’t want To be forgotten Another day Another fucken mistake Another chance Another life you forsake No one understands No one gives a fuck what you say How can you live your life this way You walk around OH you feel so bad I think that is just fucken sad Your life what a fucken waste Live your life in misery What a fucken waste You should be put out of your misery Should be shot You don’t deserve to live Why do you bother?

“The present album is an example of undergorund death metal that, while humble and rather representative of the genre, does an excellent job of crafting good, concise music that delivers a strong experience effectively." - Death Metal Underground

“‘Mental Turmoil’ is an awesome snapshot in time, where death was real and the scene was thriving.” - The Killchain

“Outside of the novelty of being an all-but-forgotten obscurity ‘Mental Turmoil’ is a set of damn good death metal tracks written and performed at death metal’s arguably highest classic peak.” - Grizzly Butts

“Surprisingly, the 23+ minutes are packed with rather diverse songs, making for an entertaining and interesting listen.” - Metal Crypt

“As it stands, collectors should relish the opportunity to get their hands on this missing piece of early 90’s death metal. 7/10” - Worship Metal

“It has an eerie, dense, somewhat absurd, disgustingly beautiful heavy sound.” - Autoeroticasphyxium Zine

“...death metal rabbioso, in pieno stile americano tra primi Obituary, Massacre e Slayer: un sound viscerale, valorizzato da un ottimo approccio in fase ritmica e buoni solos che ricamavano brani diretti...” - MetalEyes IYE

“Raw and heavy, with thrash influences and some doomy moments; it's a highly enjoyable listen. One for fans of early Autopsy, Demigod, Benediction, Unleashed...”

“Davantage qu’un trésor oublié de tous, "Mental Turmoil" est le vestige d’une époque révolue, témoin de l’effervescence qui régnait alors au sein du death metal, chapelle où tout était encore à faire.” - La Horde Noire
