Deathless Ringing
what was once born of this earth..
now returns not of this earth...
breath less
bodies arise compelled by a grim unworldly force
making host fresh blood to return to their domain
blood less
exhumed
feasting with vigor in our area of rule
vehemeth
plague manifest from this vision of future prelation
these beasts
not what once they where, mimic the prints of our kind with carnal detest
our cities engrossed in crepuscular massacre
putrid/ display of man/ never/ can they become
fueling an insatiable lust for normality
skinning one whimpering fragile face at a time
putrid/ display of man/ never/ can they become
deathless ringing
unforeseen, these replecants of vengeance, casting incessant horrors upon the innocent
to extinguish life in one horrendous instant
with what appear meek mortal hands they deconstruct..
skin and bone
remorseless detest for man
reign of dark reflect upon us
as/ they rise/ we fall/ before/ them
breathless
bodies arise compelled by a grim unworldly force
making host fresh blood to return to their domain
exhumed, feasting with vigor in our area of rule
vehemeth
plague manifest from this vision of future prelation
these beasts
not what once they where, mimic the prints of our kind with carnal detest
the epidemic was unleashed when exploring the trafficking of humans
to unknown dimensions through gateways on planet earth
the first kin of pure evil, born without guidance
now induces its feeding spree
staining the streets with our blood
Archspire
Man defies itself
Desecration of time and space ensues
Rising from beyond
Secreting dormant breathless bodies rising from our bleeding soil
Atrocities defying mortal's foundation of scientific probability under which we praise
Returning as the coexistent dead forms of the living subjects instantaneously transplaced
Captive in a dimension of torment to infinitely dwell upon the plateau of dead energy slaves
Hell it was deemed that which contained the lifeless versions of all things at any point conceived
Sadistic depictions of all forms of creation from every extension of molecular construction
Parade the deceptive lingering decrepit obscured contradictions of our cognitive creations
Indecent experimentations made flesh
Relentless pursuit of chaos
Enslaving our own kind
(Only those truly encased in their art experience life, this is mine.)
Consequences of endeavors
Altered by unseen forces
Limitless the Powers gained
By the soldiers who crossed over
To the scape of un dead
By harnessing with precision
The ringers attempt to transcend
Through there violent chaotic vision
Doppelgangers once discovered
Where held captive by researchers
Methods of interstellar travel
Where examined intricately
By an elite branch of psychic
Pawns of the military
In their remote hypnotic state
They tore apart the human subjects
--- outbursts controlled
Employed troops
To a sycophantic world
With blood now on their hands
They return from foreign lands
As enlightened super human beings
Of a secret psychic sect
Pursuing methods of serial chaos
To astrologically project
Arch spire
Abusing power. conflict ensues
A battle to rival the storms of creation
solvo validus navitas ignotus tenus omnis
(Release powerful energy unknown to all)
Neo morfic state
Eliminating plight
Neglect the sacred rights of the dead
(Let now this sound consume all senses within you)
All that is shall align
To end what we all know as time
all that proves sound in this world will be gone
Ascendance To The Summoning
Leave this earth behind
Ascend upon the skies
To fruition comes the plan mapped by the allied sect
To appose the ghosts of tongue
All breeds vow to protect
To relinquish atrocities made by once mortal men
The self-fulfilling profits of natural orders descent
We will hunt them find them kill them on earth air fire and sea
Are elements will be our weapons, sculpt the laws of each
Take to the skies
Mute testimonies of the lost arts of antiquity
Strength encompassing
Ascendance to the summoning
Rise from earth
Conquer the live undead
Redeem our species
We are our elder's seeds
Transport in secrecy
Employ the recoil of all that is
Ancient burden not with pain those heroic that which ensue this conquest
Guide them unscorned through your righteous maze of burning stars
Follows now/ the internal/ process of /transportation to/ the collective assembly
Assurance of/ your return/ lay only/
----upon our full/ victory
First vanquish the repulsive pulse of fear that rots within
Release the mind release the flesh!!!
remove your eyes now
Sink your vision/ deep within/ your imploding mass/
What remains will follow
Cacophonic/ shrills leech/ the exhausted/
Dissipating breath out your throat into the air
The blood well/that lets/ from your/ ----
Dormant sockets hosts your soul
Let it billow/ from the fading/ flashes of your/ decomposing
Your self now filters up through the crimson mist
Of your empty shell. Become as light not seen
Yet to behold all sight without eye
To hear the echo of your banshee without the use of sound
All red encompassing/ not alone/ yet without the self
Threads of your past remain/ to engulf/ what now elevates
Thoughts form to you as skin/as beckons/ selfless destiny
A mockery of flesh/ serves now as/ your protective shield
The composition of your past/ frail recollect/protects you from awaiting / atmospheres/ alien to man
No longer are you human/ but a pure catalyst of man/
To join in the séance/ on the planet/ where the eldest lay
Arrive encrusted/ in the ash/ of your scalded live/on the Omni ancients/ infinite/ resting ground
Ghosts Of Silent Tongue
The root of the human animal sprout,
From the eroded soil, of all things past.
Left to carry, free of breath and blood,
Fixed on our benevolent past.
There is no escape, from the powers,
Fed by, primordial aggression,
Which beats so effortlessly,
Through the hearts of man.
Yet we suppress,
To carry without true existence,
Descend in to the vile.
Ridden of purpose,
As each nerve exhausts
Transcendence through infuriation
At its base form.
Without engrained tendencies,
We impede indecence,
From this we rise.
Free the violent mind,
This is nostalgia for our paleolithic rights.
Bleed out incompleteness,
Abolish the inner fiend through chaos.
Confide in innumerable worlds.
Bleed.
Rule the self by releasing the source of self.
Let the ancients rush through you,
Bleed out the false god eternal.
Delve in the uncertainty of our Earth.
Bleed out.
Will to conquer purity,
Calm and extremity,
Torch emotion.
Be your God.
Will to conquer purity,
Calm and extremity.
Violent enlightenment,
Violent path of the enlightened soul.
When compassion subsides the self will arise.
Detest thy mother who's name be our realm.
For she is the whore of the monotonous heaven.
We are the Ghosts of Silent Tongue.
Violent enlightenment,
Violent path of the enlightened soul.
Praise the accursed and defiled,
Exterminate belief,
Vent through torture,
True self rise,
Be your God.
Scatter thy entrails before the savage beast,
Sacrifice the weakness of man,
Scatter our mortal burden,
Upon the scorched oceans of black.
Never shall thy fast from such innards,
Smother these offerings with the still-racing mind of your infant within.
Once placed upon this altar,
Thou are destined to become,
Thou are destined to truly live.
Free is the soul accustomed to the onyx,
Yet with all light withdrawn,
Illuminate the chasm of all things beyond.
Dwell not in the lifeless before you,
For thou has removed the place of it's former confinement.
At one with this truth we are enlightened,
At one with this truth we are enlightened by violent mankind.
Ancient Of Ancients
The Great galactic assembly congregate upon the plains long before the time of man,
Where the species of all worlds collide in prayer in sacrifice,
Where the altar fires burn infinite,
They halt their feuds, and unite for the better of all creation.
For the all-knowing, all-seeing one,
To cast his vast, luminous and terrible rays across unfathomed myriads of worlds,
Altar fires burn infinite,
Come forth to free us all,
Oh great storm of elements.
[2x]
The concealed of the concealed ones,
The eternal of eternal ones,
The mystery of mysteries,
Upon your throne of flaming light,
The entity of entities,
The eldest of the aged ones,
The knowing of all unknowable,
Reach out to our hundred thousand worlds.
We await your return, when all shall align,
Through divine right, we embrace in whole,
The nature of your cosmic delineation.
The ancient of ancients,
Great storm of elements.
Awake the spiritually dead,
Into ever-lasting life,
Rise from the deepest, darkest bowers,
Of our universe.
Supreme one awake,
From your slumber,
To free the dead,
Limbiotic which haunt vacantly the planet of lost souls.
Let your serpent never mingle*,
Lest confusion exist within you,
Radiate across our skies,
To bring purity to the just and unjust of all beings.
[2x]
The concealed of the concealed ones,
The eternal of eternal ones,
The mystery of mysteries,
Upon your throne of flaming light,
The entity of entities,
The eldest of the aged ones,
The knowing of all unknowable,
Reach out to our hundred thousand worlds.
Come forth.
Engrossed below the alien monolith,
We witness opposing forces devour planets,
We suspend belief until your resurgence, father of time abolished.
Come forth ancient, arise,
To free the dead souls of our tribes.
Rapid Elemental Dissolve
In an age of dark and boundless riddle
An artifact of reflective glass was discovered
And brought to a King of eld, encroaching irreversible decrepitude,
During a laborious search for any and all demented fruits,
Bearing any unknown wonder or remedy for timely death,
Above or below the broad aberrant land that which he ruled over.
Then uncertain of its hidden wisdom,
The artifact was unearthed,
And with haste, taken to the kingdom
Where it gained control.
The glass proved to be most abnormal,
Even more so then where it was first found.
For this living mirror was discovered nesting
Deep within the dank dark bowels of an ancient well,
Below an army's worth of old boiling blood.
Entrenched amidst a windy maddening maze of sand dunes,
In the great blistering dead black desert.
As the king received this treasure from the netherworld,
Immediately he could sense
The power that it held was not from earth.
Reflecting with imperfection as if it was imitating.
First only what stood before it,
Then whomever it desired.
Yes - it had desire.
It would cast the king with obsessive reprise,
For this was a mimic, not a mirror.
The glass was very much alive.
Becoming of many as each reflection came to life.
The dilated pupil of the mirror started dripping liquid.
Leeching out from its maternal well was the first duplication.
Tearing through its keeper,
Fiercely ripping out the retinal membrane.
Born ripe in slime,
Summoned from its slumber with inherent malice for man.
Cloaked in black embryonic fluid from an ominous cosmic womb.
Hypnotized in awe and wonder
As one by one, they crossed over.
Replicants from beyond.
Blood lust...
As the deathless ringers arose.
The artifact grew roots,
Planting itself into the castle's centre.
Burrowing its living venom deep into our planet's core.
Drilling the portal into oblivion.
Birthing spawns from evermore.
Mutations from parallel dimensions,
Then conspired against the King.
When his six reflections had crossed over
Their transfer linked the realms together.
Creating a chain of worlds
That although remain separate,
Share a new born centre.
The centre of this link is the endless pit into oblivion.
The infinite and non-linear chamber of Kairos.
The King was bound and cast into this pit
By his evil duplicates.
The infinite hells created by his deepest fears,
Torment him endlessly in a moment of frozen time.
Sacrifices to the pit were necessary
To restore the rightful order,
Ending the King's reign.
Seven crowns and the oblivion chain.
Six, seven and nine.
We are the six, with you we are seven.
The artifact and the portal make nine.
This revelation of sacred numerology
Is the key to unlock a life without time
When these numbers align then the gates will open.
Sixes, sevens and nines.
Seven crowns and the oblivion chain.
Seven crowns...
Into oblivion.
All Shall Align
[Instrumental]

BIOGRAPHY

Archspire’s 2017 Relentless Mutation was a cavalcade of speed and extremity — blasting, accelerating and, in partial reference to its title, “mutating” as each song unfolded, all the while rapid-fire, shotgun vocals blurred the lines between a man’s throat and additional instrument. It was, unquestionably, an innovation of sound and technique — Archspire had broken the speed barrier while creating songs memorable as they were unabashedly extreme for extreme metal. Thus, the pressure was already there to top Relentless Mutation when the band started to compile new songs in 2018. The global pandemic heightened the situation (read: no touring, expanded free time) and caused Archspire to turn inward and apply additional rigor to their songwriting process, albeit painstakingly so. But by the end of the fraught calendar year that was 2020, the band emerged with their fourth studio album, Bleed the Future.
According to the members of Archspire — vocalist Oli Aleron, guitarists Dean Lamb and Tobi Morelli, bassist Jared Smith and drummer Spencer Prewett — they originally went into the making of Bleed the Future under the idea they would finish the album in between the various tours scheduled for 2020. Of course, none of that happened, prompting the band to do more pre-production than at any time in their career. Archspire then subjected the album’s eight songs to near-constant critiquing that ensured they came away with a product, that in their estimation, is their best to date.
“The benefit we had was that Relentless came out in 2017,” says Lamb. “Since then, we toured more than we ever did before. We had the viewpoint of ‘What do crowds like? What parts should we write more of? What parts do people give us good feedback on?’ We wanted to expand and write those parts more consistently — there are more hooks and when we do have hooks, we wanted to repeat those parts so people will know that this is the catchy part of the song.”
“The most important thing was that we had clever songwriting,” adds Prewett. “We wanted the album to be more accessible to more people but still keep it extreme, fast and technical. So, we changed our process this time. We recorded rehearsal every day and listened to what we did afterward. We’d then come back to the jam spot and change riffs and ideas based on what everyone was thinking about during the week. It resulted in an album that everyone was happier with.”
Archspire also had the stated goal for Bleed the Future that they wanted to get faster. While such a feat may defy reason given their previous output, the band wrote their fastest song to date — the album-closing “AUM,” a cut that opens up with an audio recording of a German friend of Prewett’s who, according to the drummer, enjoys ragging on Archspire. Comedic clips aside, “AUM,” caps off an album that pushes the boundaries of speed but also is textured — Smith’s ethereal basslines often serve as mid-song interludes, while Lamb and Morelli weave melodic, spiraling guitar lines that annihilate the fretboard during “Abandon the Linear,” “Bleed the Future” and “Acrid Canon.” Accordingly, the members of Archspire were keenly aware of the expectations placed upon them after the success of Relentless Mutation. The online comments regarding whether they could top Relentless Mutation was also occasionally on their minds when composing Bleed the Future and prompted the band to ensure that all five members were happy with everything — down to the last riff, vocal line, bass run and drum pattern. “Audience expectation is really important,” says Lamb. “If we leave the jam spot and everyone is stoked on a song, it’s pretty likely that the audience will be stoked. We have the expectation of the audience, but we also have to be pumped on the music. I feel the proudest of the music. We spent more time on the songs and got better at writing. I feel it’s better music.”
“It’s an extremely tedious writing process,” adds Smith. “If anyone isn’t feeling a riff, we scrap it and have to find something we’re all happy with. It can be super-frustrating in the moment, but in the end, we have something better. We want everything we write to be a step up and I think we achieved that with Bleed the Future.”
The album is accompanied by a concept developed by Aleron that begs the question: What happens when humans start giving birth to non-humans? Born from a weird dream the vocalist had, Bleed the Future’s concept does not have finality or a conclusion. It does, however, posit a few ethical dilemmas to ties into Archspire’s long-running science fiction themes.
“I thought about what if those things they were giving birth to could actually benefit them in the future so they wouldn’t want to reject them,” says Aleron. “What would happen to the humans that weren’t born? Would they go to a different dimension? I played with that whole idea because I hadn’t seen a horror movie where that was the theme. It worked for all the songs. The only social commentary is that people don’t know what they’re giving birth to — if you put someone on this planet, you don’t know whether they’re going to be good or evil.”
Bleed the Future was recorded in October and November 2020 at Flatline Audio in Colorado with producer/engineer Dave Otero. This was the second consecutive album the band worked with Otero. According to Morelli, the recording process was seamless. “Dave was already familiar with what we each can do individually,” he says. “This time, he was more prepared to tackle those elements. How he tracks was more focused on what we were capable of and I think it really shows here.”
As live show activity for 2021 hangs in the balance (Archspire currently has dates lined up for November), the pandemic has prompted many bands to re-think their new album release dates as well as how to stay visible in a world currently without touring. But, with a fanbase that has embraced the band’s online presence that includes playthroughs, tutorials and now, cooking shows (!), Archspire heads into the Bleed the Future album cycle the benefactors of their commitment to touring and, most of all, position as one of death metal’s most forward-thinking bands.
“We have a lot of awesome fans, so I think they’ll be there to support us and pick up the album because they like the music,” says Lamb. “We’re a self-managed band; we’ve been working with the same label for ten years and I think the outcome will be good. Would it had been better if we had been on a full North American tour starting a week before the album release? Sure, but I think people will come out and support us through other means. As soon as we’re ready to go back on tour and everybody is safe to do so, we’ll be out there.”
