Hailing from Montreal, Derelict mixes the brutal and technical elements of the Quebec metal scene with listenable structures and melody, resulting in an unforgiving yet accessible package. The band’s trademark sound has led to comparisons with the likes of Death, Strapping Young Lad, and The Black Dahlia Murder. ... more

- Track Name: Perpetuation
-
Snuffed upon inception
Denial of emergence
Scientific revolution quelled by benign institutions
Round and round the carousel
Repeat the cycle, repeat the past
The state of competition
Engine of devolution
Struggling for accumulation
Cyclical over-consumption
Finite space filled up with waste
Perpetuation of scarcity
Reach for the dollar at the bottom of the barrel
Tell lies to sell your wares, to wear your crown, proud
Maniacal delusions corrupting root intentions
Custom-made interpretations
Firebrand hate incantations
Summoning the Gods of wrath
Hell rained down in fiscal swaths
Raised to believe in a foolproof system
Taught how to lead as the ruling class
Tainted by notions of objective absolutism
Blind so see that there was never a backup plan - Track Name: Spoils Of War
-
This is a haunted land
And the ghouls walk among men
Their affliction transcends
We are beyond redemption
Beyond sympathy
Behold the fruits of our labor
The ill-begotten spoils of war
De-education is the sharpest blade
With which to amputate
Pride, confidence, wisdom and honor
Genetically picked out and slaughtered
A heavy conscience hangs
Only on those who dare to see through the dream
We justify the sins of our fathers
We build upon a foundation of bones
We take to heart the lies of our mothers
We lock our souls in an armor of stone
History is written in chalk
By those who hold the steel
Our dreams of vengeance must one day overcome our apathy - Track Name: Expiry
-
Blacken your lungs with the air of the twenty-first century
Drink in the plastic debris
Profit from the murder of the engine of all living growth
Reap in the benefits of slavery
Can you feel it falling apart?
Approaching expiry
The end result
The final cash out
Don’t be afraid, admit intent
It was all part of the plan
To sanctify our economic system
Dissent in the face of irrefutable scientific evidence
Treason committed in the name of faith
Blindness promoted through the comforts of deep class divisions
Silenced are the voices of periphery
And so it was decreed
This age shall bathe in the acid rain
We are the bringers of the end result
The profiteers of the final cash out
Don’t be afraid, admit intent
It was all part of the plan
To sanctify our economic system
Clear out the forest for cattle and real estate
Disparage indigenous peoples and creatures
Rejoice in the filth of the Hell you’ve created
As all green and life around you shall wither, blacken, and die - Track Name: Digital Birthright
-
A digital birthright grown to replace identity
Un-culture professing connection
Insulation from humanity
Gross promotion of your lust for your self-image
Grasp at the straws of the reap of your sought pity
Whole kingdoms made of follower clone-bots
Same ideas, paste on, repeat
Celebrations of illiterate fumbling
Drunk off attention, want, and need
Spawned of a void of effect
And prescribed culture
Lost in a swarm of detached and unreal egos
Create nothing new
Become nothingness
Repeat gibberish
Searching for a savior in half-baked lists of random musings
Intermittent progress, a telltale sign of muted weakness
Infatuation with irrelevant facts, the mind kept ever dull
Circulating public introspection
Infantilizing the intellectual
Bled from the mind of the weak and the hollow-hearted
Words walk like sheep in a line of the same colors
So shall we discuss the end of days?
Or roll on the floor laughing at each other's inanities? - Track Name: Intricate Decay
-
A structured, siphoning exploitation
All-encompassing
Designed for wealth consolidation
All exclusive
In an ocean of fiscal corruption, all implication is morally bankrupt
Entitlement justifies starvation
For the well fed
Police the rest in concentration
Made invisible
Pulling at heartstrings to hold back the tide
Using archaisms to validate massive subjugation
Correct for deviance with bonuses and erase the conscience
Cash your economic right to gorge and be obese
Stake your claim and feed
Crush any objection
Girth has weight in policy
Pay to remain free
Swell, grow
No mistake in design, calculate
No escape from this hold, retrograde
Devalue human life for own sake
Profit from starvation, death and rape
Intricate decay, elaborate rot
Pieced together
The numbers are growing too big to hide
As it all adds up - Track Name: Olympic
-
International social collateral damage
Casualties of our lust for entertainment
This is a prelude to all our futures
This is a tribute to all our failures
Bleeding oracles glow bright on the screen
Just far enough for us all to ignore
This is a prelude to all our futures
This is a tribute to all our failures
We stand as witnesses to our abuses
We fall united in knowing silence
Federal funding of forced relocation
Globalized movement to disperse the poor
An event mass-marketed as worldwide unity
Proves that bankers still rule with impunity
Foreign labor human rights abuses
Invisible on the front page
A class subverted to build coliseums
Disposable serfs as foundations of kingdoms - Track Name: Ergogenic
-
Countless individuals ground into dust
Free market labor
Perspective numbed, beautified
Euphoria negating spirit and will
The grind becomes still, patterned
Dissipating hatred and longing for choice
Feed more poison
Fuel for the middle class
Ergogenic motivation
Their equitable claims assign blame
Clean slavery ingrained in culture
Ignoring the biology, for progress
We worship the technocracy
Feed more poison directly into the veins
The inevitable crash
Dehydration, nausea
The cravings return in force
Unable to summon the power to move
Feed more poison directly into the veins - Track Name: Recreated
-
Thrown to the ground
The graven image of a savior
Tallying betrayals
To count them all down
Frailty revealed
The covenants are quickly tested
But nothing here is healed
Shackles shed have left deep wounds
Seeing ones self in the light
Recreated
Redefined
And will we purify?
Savor the triumph of a thousand lies revealed?
Ascend?
Or will we end each other, end our own?
Lost to the sands of time in chaos and despair
Solace, intangible
Seeking concrete definitions
Revelation dealt its blows
Hidden strings and hardened skins
Behind, an empty cell
Still limiting imagination
Housing our despair
And doubt in the self-wrought - Track Name: Yours To Surpass
-
The years are etched into your skin
And so you weep… for dreams forgotten
Crawling through life
You beg the master for his table scraps
I’d rather be the master and eat until I’m full
Bowing to none, I am delivered
Karma, fortune, destiny
Foolish notions for the weak
Your fate is yours to surpass
Your foes are yours to destroy
And so you rise…
All this could be yours if you throw off your chains
Free
But you’ve made your choice and you cannot change
Add up all the reasons why slavery is safer
Do your master’s bidding, answer to his call
Be the faithful servant
As you are destined to regret
Your fate is yours to surpass
Your foes are yours to destroy
Rise - Track Name: Shackles Of Indoctrination
-
Caught in between an overwhelming sense of duty
And the instinct to survive
Forced into an twisted chain of daily tortures
A perilous compromise
Coiled into machine-like tension
Told to ignore grueling symptoms
Birthed to slave
To toil in redundancy
Taught to behave
To appreciate hypocrisy
Welcoming the sweet release of stupefied intoxication
Finally numbing the aches of daily blood work
Kneeling down before the kings of stable economics
Kissing the ring on the hand of the chief executive god
Your desire for free will is unproductive
Your frustration with your life is irrelevant
Work yourself down to the bone to produce nothing
Give yourself unto the system till you die
Unless you take it back...
Why do we bear subjugation
And never dare to react?
Allow our lives to be purchased
With riches made off our backs
“Work hard, and save our nation”
Lies told keep us controlled
Meanwhile we grow our knowledge
The truest power we hold - Track Name: The Iridium Layer
-
Evolution births our conscious thought and seeks to fix in time
The twisting currents of the cosmos in the human mind
Blueprints of death
Designs of demise
Left here to attest
A layer of iridium
Fossilized message
To be heard or ignored
Condition of frailty
Destined to recur
The forces that support life on this fragile rock
Are in constant motion
Forfeit, all life
See the fire in the sky?
Man made? God sent?
The consequences are the same
Denial of hard facts
Delays preparation
Feasting with fools
In drunk futility
Experimenting, childlike, high on our creations
Wearing the crosshairs we await retaliation
Divine?
A gift received, squandered
Deafened ears go numb
Shirking paths, we wander
Upon iridium
Embracing savageness we conquer
Seeking sacrifice
Praying to ancient Gods, alone
We watch the sky - Track Name: Emergence
-
When all signs point towards the catastrophic
The time for timid acquiescence has passed
Ascended logic and the proven truths of science
Must challenge all folly, distortion, and lies
Raised to buy into systemic corruption
Withheld education, enslavement en masse
The indicators of this failure in vision
Are clearly unfolding in front of our eyes
From economic perspectives and interests, we must be firm and selective
But one may call to attention the fact of the root monetary social construction
Wide-eyed
Solemn
To carry on in total denial
Would be emblematic and typically “us”
A fundamental devolution of perceptions
Could crumble the balance to ashes and dust
Find the strength to overcome this abyss
To conquer greed, hate, and pettiness
To transcend animalistic existence
Scoff the words of the brash and intolerant
Cast off the chains of dependence
Become the change you’ve always envisioned
Stake a claim, for this is your planet
This is our home
