Battletruck

Battle scarred and iron hard
Bursting out of the junkyard
Rattle cage can't disengage
Hit the pedal til the engines crack
Ride on, freeway attack
Shakin chains and a bucket of brains
Heavy metal on the broken terrain
Get wrecked gonna break your neck
Run you down when were running amok
That's right! Battletruck
Battletruck x3
Hellish sounds with the hammer down
Rabid raiders taken to the ground
Overtake, make no mistake
You motherfuckers can’t escape the crush
Eat the dust
Cheap speed and hot rock
White lines on the blacktop
Mainline, don’t waste your time
Put the needle right into the red
Come on, Battletruck

Driven to Kill
01:45
|
|||
|
I’ve been forced to the depths of despair
I’ve been forced but no one fuckin cares
I’ve been forced to the end of all times
Nothing is sacred, to obliterate your mind
As these wills take their toll
Mind begins to lose all control
I’ve been forced to this city of shame
I’ve been forced to leave this city in flames
I’ve been forced to the end of this age
Nuclear devastation, holocaust engage
I can’t take this anymore
I’ve had enough but I’m looking for more
I’ve been driven to kill
Driven to kill

Rapid Death
03:46
|
|||
|
Cease to exist, don't bother to resist
Next on the list, you can kiss the rifle fist
Let's set the stage, for ultra-violent rage
Another raid, mutants ready to invade
Defective drones raining death from the air
Plasma pulse from a satellite flare
Revoke your life, cashed out, null and void
Wicked warheads fully deployed
Chorus:
Rocket launcher, enemy chaser
Rub you out with the laser eraser
Gate of bones, extermination by plague
Master of a million graves
Bloodthirsty factions rule the ruinous land
Liquidation is the final command
Grinding guts, give the devil his due
Berserker warriors bringing you to rapid death
Cut through the bone, cut through the wire
Force multiplier hold your feet to the fire
Slice and Dice, lethal fire and ice
Counterattack, well you better think twice
Droid mercenaries, certain to slay
Unthinking hunters on the trail of their prey
Firefight in the middle of the night
Scattered corpses in the dawn's early light

Hibernation Sickness
04:05
|
|||
|
The wires are falling, awake from the void
Forced decompression, use once and destroy
Emergency systems begin to degrade
Slowly washed out and faded
Like tears in the rain
Chorus:
Dead and buried in sedated isolation
Another state of mind another transformation
Tormented to the brink of the edge of the grave
Absorb abuse to the point of saturation
Declines in function from the constant hibernation
System shock, chopping block, never stop til you drop
Fleshborne and fetid, unsound and unreal
Precise and serrated, like surgical steel
Liquid nitrogen nightmare, cryonic mistake
A chemical dungeon with no hope of escape

Nekrodome
03:10
|
|||
|
Two men Enter, one man leaves
Venture into the arena of steel
Eyes of hate, gut full of fear
Gladiators, dyin time's here
Chorus:
No laws, no life
Take it down to the nekrodome
No laws in the nekrodome
It's time to go, fast forward to unknown
Shattered bodies, shattered minds
The blood will flow, inside this sanctioned slaughterhouse
Back to the weapons, roll the dice
Fight fight fight fight fight just to stay alive
No laws in this dead man's tomb
Two men enter only one survives
Fighting and maiming and killing and pain
Blow after blow as your energy drains
Confirm the final strike, only the victor remains
What's the final result?
Flawless victory!
The aftermath of assault
Flawless victory!
Finish him

Searching for the mainline
Spent all my caps on a waste of time
Bring out the bottles of Buffout
Afterburner without a doubt
Functions set to mayday
We have liftoff, bombs away
Pummel perception and watch it burn
Leave this world to the rats and the worms
Chorus:
Chem cache, full stache
Synthetic rush and it's gone in a flash
Exhale, explode
All fucked up and nowhere to go
Dead of the brain
Ultra jet junkies going insane
Hardwired for suicide
Stack the stats til there's nothing inside
Join the nuke cult, psycho cabal
Polluted spikes to break through the wall
Can’t take the risk to kick
Trail of destruction just to follow the fix

Shatterday
03:05
|
|||
|
Erratic mainframe, sentient meat
Dangerous visions primed for rapid release
Automated breakdown, cybernetic rust
Circuits crushed into powder and dust
Systems online for torture tech
Aggressive menace, when you least expect
So intense so you'll never forget
Speedball snake charming mixed with russian roulette
Chorus
Shatterday
Adapt an altered front, secure another way
Shatterday
Bit rot runoff, holographic decay
I have no mouth but I must scream
Decomposing hardware wired to dream
Powerful paingod, immune to defeat
Observe the end from the terminal screen

Solitude
03:16
|
|||
|
A razor comes to cleave the world of old
It is too late, the sheep have left the fold
The act implodes and opens up the door
Chorus:
Echoes freeze in this desaturated place
Fragments of immense decay escaping time and space
Controlled by phantoms, a parasitic brood
Weaned on emptiness and bred from solitude
Pale and wraithlike, hurled into the wilds
Imprisoned insect, under a tightened vise
Eyes from abyss, watchers in the walls
Howling vortex returns the pleading call
Hallowed Haven or devil's lair
Disembodied, now sinking to despair
Stumbling blindly in well worn tracks
Asylum's void, condemned collapse

Kickass, old-school and synth. What more could a person want?! Definitely a good album for cruising down the highway.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring

This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like.
