A Safe Space to Rot

cry into the void
because the void is all that’s left
cherish your gift
your beautiful solitude
be grateful
solitude is freedom
shout, scream into the electronic void
because this cyber void is all that’s left
here you can share your feelings
here you can be your true self
it’s a safe space to open up
it’s a safe space to rot
this is a new stage of humanity
we’ve come so far
marvel at our progress
we’ve transcended
we’ve transcended society
silly things like humanity
cherish your gift
your beautiful solitude
be grateful
don’t forget solitude is freedom
look at all the progress we’ve made
when we speak into the abyss
it now speaks back
be grateful
besides
you’re trapped here anyway
so you might as well make the best out of it

isolate
isolate yourself
from others
from it all
or you will suffer
and die
this is not a drill
this is not hyperbole
they are sick
they are dirty
dripping with disease
this is a question
of life or death
we’re not giving you a choice
this is a matter
of national security
we’re just looking out
for your best interests
please oblige
see we’re just looking out
for our best interests
and these are orders

confess
open up
confide in it
tell the electronic void
your deepest secrets
your darkest desires
confess
no more hiding
it’s just you and the void
your own personal abyss
confide in the cyber void
it is your best friend
your only real friend in the world
it knows you
better than you know yourself
share your secrets
divulge your desires
they are safe with it
you are safe with us
customer service is our communion

Bury the False God
05:32
|
|||
|
society is a false god
you must kill
that wolf in sheep’s clothing
business is our religion
customer service is how we practice it
connecting clients to our products
collecting their tithes
gives us meaning
humanity is a false religion
pray
pour libations
make your offering
in our gilded chalice
sanguine oblation for
the one true god below
drink drink
drink up
and pray
drink drink
drink up
and wipe the crimson stains
off your parched lips
you have another product to sell
society is a false god
your god is dead
our god is capital

loneliness is next to godliness
distance yourself
from all of them
they mean you harm
keep your distance
from everything
it’s all poison
loneliness is next to godliness
distance yourself
from them all
they mean you harm
keep your distance
from everything
it’s all poison
we will protect
you from all of
them
just take your medicine

The Proper Daily Routine
04:08
|
|||
|
open up
it’s time to eat
listen up
tell us
do you feel anything
stand up
it’s time to pray
make sure
you’re supplicating the right way
face the screen
never turn away
face the screen
never look away
it is your link
to god
to your creator
your owner
face the screen
and it will relay
our commands
your orders
to fill
the hopes and dreams
you must kill

A Series of Series
03:47
|
|||

behold the all-knowing screen
the digital void
has a cozy home
it has given birth
to an omniscient machine
forget your fantasies
we have a series
a series of series

Rags or Riches
05:06
|
|||
|
we have a series of series
which we think you’ll quite like
meticulously prepared
checking every market box
we have divided them
into neat little packages
carefully organized
in bite-sized morsels
10 episodes
over 10000 seasons
all focus grouped
with painstaking precision
a perfect sample size
of your peers
preying scientifically
on their silly fears
enough content
to fill your life
enough content
to fulfill your worthless life
what else are you going to do with it?
you’re worth
as much as you have at birth
there are no rags to riches
there are only rags or riches
and we regret to inform you
that you have rags
yes you have rags
so shut up and enjoy the show

become one
with your favorite series
slaughter your hopes
skewer your dreams
we will fry them up
serve ‘em on a styrofoam platter
gourmet grub
for more enlightened minds
hopes are for holy men
vicars
dreams are for dramatists
entertainers
see the world
through your favorite series
your beloved characters
are more real
than the hoodlums outside
your friends on the screen
they are more genuine
than the world outside
who are you gonna trust
your mind or your eyes?

The Eternal Algorithm
06:09
|
|||
|
trust in the algorithm
the sacred algorithm
it knows best
it knows all
it knows more
than you could ever know
it knows you
better than you know yourself
the almighty algorithm
pierces through our very souls
with the voice of god
the eternal algorithm
is the clarion call of capital
guiding us to enlightenment
the next phase
is about to begin
so love your owner
just as your love your creator
(after all
they are one in the same)

You know that point where you have consumed perhaps just a little too much of your chosen intoxicate. That's this album. Fucking heavy!!!

Orange Mathematics
by Frontierer
supported by 12 fans who also own “Your Own Personal Abyss”
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP.
