So humanity burns

by Déhà / Humanity Defiled

supported by

Metallurgical Fire What I love about this album are the riffs, the vocals, the songwriting, the old school feel, the way it surprises you at the end, and the fact that there will probably not be another death metal split on this level in the near future. These guys did not phone it in, and both are at the top of their game. So humanity burns will be on repeat for a while. Favorite track: Déhà - Collapse!.

1.	Déhà - Above seasonal norms (ft. Arno Strobl) 03:29	lyrics	buy track
They're crawling with question tags In their wide opened eyes Willing to sweat and bleed But by now they're all dry They stick their tongues out With ridiculous rattles An open air oven Locked (on) 89 degrees Fried alive Like human tenderloins, Skin cracking and funny smells Grotesque recipes Based on human beings When mother nature cast a spell Fried alive Or caramelized Innards cooking in your chest Ashes to ashes And bones to the bin Scattered remains to ingest We're above seasonal norms We're way above seasonal norms They're crawling with question tags In their wide opened eyes Willing to sweat and bleed But by now they're all dry They stick their tongues out With ridiculous rattles An open air oven Locked (on) 89 degrees There comes a time when one has to pay Here's the bill, it won't erase itself Mankind will have to refund anyway Be it with flesh, be it with life Cockroaches on the planet's face Wonder in vain about their mistakes A vermin called the human race Silently question the skies We're above seasonal norms
2.	Déhà - Collapse! 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Bringing the sentence / of unredeeming death Suffer in silence / and exhale your last breath Collapse! Breathing is useless, mother / embrace the decay The sounds of breaking whisperings / let all the cleansing happen The fearless eyes of inhuman bodies weighting on you The anxiety of the innate end, coming down Suffer in silence Nose burning up in seconds (let the world go) The fearless ones coming undone (let the world rot) The millennial warriors running away (let the world rot) No fucking heroes, down with the egoes, let the world rot Low-key fiends giving up on altars Lonely insects becoming the alphas Suffer in silence / silence is golden Golden cash is gone / gone with the winds of hell The devil was not found / but God was present Nothing was done / watching while absent The mire's on fire / the warmth is unbearable The silence is now gone / gone with the winds of hell Doomed to failures / rebellions are futile Death from the inside / death from the inside Low-key fiends giving up on altars Lonely insects becoming the alphas Bringing the sentence / of unredeeming death Suffer in silence / and exhale your last breath Collapse!
3.	Déhà - So we burn 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Greeting the might, and soul-less you've become After granting the Light, the stupidest you've become Washing all your sins away did not help at all The weather has come down : you did doom us all You did doom us all My scars have now a shape, and I can feel my bones Removing my first skin, and eating in front of all A scorched earth full of bodies half eaten away The sun is our enemy, no need for a plague The plague is only your existence walking on our soil I have denied you, forbidden force, and now my blood boils You did doom us all Securing the kids and the fertile humans who do still remain untouched Feeling that I won't stand a chance against the stupidity of the mass Down in a cave we yearn / For all life to start again, or to end We crave for the rain to fall / A mystique lost with time, unmend You did doom us all Securing the kids and the fertile humans who do still remain untouched Feeling that I won't stand a chance against the stupidity of the mass So we burn
4.	Déhà - Take a breath and die 03:35	lyrics	buy track
There is no way that this world would suffer another plague One can be sure, seeing how it is now, that it would self destruct asap Maybe we need another planet Or maybe we all need to die Maybe we need to be aware Or we all need to die It's raining radioactive acid water on opened throats Darwin was goddamn right but your strongest enemy is the earth Men's revenge now at the end Nature's back at its might The Sun will dry your skin And it will end in fucking blood Breathing the suffocating boiling air Both lungs collapsing in a matter of seconds There is no ice, there is no water Only death in this desert earth What complications you've made Since you were fucking born What destruction you've uttered Since you were fucking born Take a breath and die Take a deep breath and die along your stupid corporations Your work didn't make you free, nor better, and nor fucking decent Believe the falling stars, the sciences which you occulted Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in You had no conscience / Now no more to live for You're a bunch of walking dead trying to escape what it right Morons, your morons, it's too late to redeem yourself Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in Breathe in and die

Unbearable propelled into the dark I seek release layoff this fever dream the villain’s bliss it beckons me embrace dementia submerge my sanity a raging storm the wicked tear my skin I bleed disease corrupting my lucidity invisible in light relief in obscurity to consecrate the vile let fiends possess us all sweet demon’s kiss it summons me entwined in mania exalt insanity I tear apart the blessed curse of truth look up to me and set your spirit free Unbearable propelled into the dark I seek release layoff this fever dream I tear apart the blessed curse of truth look up to me and set your spirit free
6.	Humanity Defiled - Hell graduate 03:24	lyrics	buy track
I got blood on my teeth / Head down on the ground while you beat But my rage is their bliss / Forced catharsis on my sweet sixteen I can't fight anymore / Muscles atrophied - The more I'm beat the more they smile I can't stand anymore / They beat me so much, oh mama, what have you done? There are no dreams anymore / all teenage years are raped Almost half a century / of traumas and sicknesses of the mind They own our world / Life and death are just a signature, an allowance We are insects / brought to the world to amuse while we suffer How can you sleep / when you had atrocities that no one would dare to think How can you breathe / when your will is low and their screamings are high Please set me free I've counted all the days since I was right here They noticed, they told me to give up or there'd be blood Countless times I wanted to kill myself But they told me that I'm weak, they're the ones to make me sleep Fucking coward hiding in plain sight, being their Goddamn privilege, it's power and you did none Why does no one want to believe me? Do my scars suffice to enhance your vices? I got blood on my teeth / Head down on the ground while you beat But my rage is their bliss / Forced catharsis on my sweet sixteen I can't fight anymore / Muscles atrophied - The more I'm beat the more they smile I can't stand anymore / They beat me to death, oh mama, what have you done?

deceived (and) taken cascaded into scourge your haunting love i fear It seizes me corrupting me impaired my soul I lie dehumanized I loathe your grasp Degrading me consume all that is pure I wallow in disgrace the dark is my abode anesthetized by void self destructive speculation eradicating hope it ravages my self fragments scattered I beg to end this hell oh please extinguish me Amend unveil this voice this vibrant light Resilient (hope) awakening unburden me abolish the ordeal I crawl out of this tomb dismissing misery my spirit blazes on abolish the ordeal I crawl out of this tomb dismissing misery my spirit blazes on

about

"Hugely impressed by the achievements of my two Belgian compatriots I realize that we, as listeners, are the big winners here. Déhà and Humanity Defiled created an aggressive, emotional and well thought out piece of art."
VM Underground

"The songs from both bands do not lack in sheer heaviness and there's enough variety all over to keep things interesting"
The Metal Crypt 4,25/5

So Humanity burns!

For this split album two of the best one man death metal acts in Europe teamed up, and not only to do their part of the the album separately!

When we first started talking about a split on Back from the grave tapes it was going to be a 2 or 3 song ep which we would release on some spare tapes we had left from another release. I asked if the artist had something unreleased laying around, just a quick, funny little release. But somehow ideas started to flow and new songs would be written and recorded for this release! It didn't take long for Déhà to volunteer to not only do his own vocals but also for the Humanity Defiled part.

The guys went to write songs (and not a week later Déhà sends us his 4 killer songs!), so goodbye EP and welcome split album!

Here you have a 7 song split album full of Death Metal.
Where Déhà channels 90's Death metal you can also hear some thrash metal in the riffs and there's also some thrashy energy going on for sure.

Humanity Defiled's riffing is unmistakably Death metal but you can also hear the hardcore roots shining through which results in some mega heavy but also catchy songs. Don't think catchy means happy though! You won't smile once the doomy and dark 9 minutes closing song ends! You will hit play again!
