Those Who Do Not Exist

Pigs were awaiting the vermin
To entrench itself for good
They’ve planned the move well in advance
And pushed their minions in that sense
A distant memory brings back to the fore
What present day business cannot reveal
A distant memory brings back to the fore
What present day business cannot reveal
The storm was unleashed without proper planning
Conditions were optimal and the villains ready to go
Substitute thinking is not something they could tolerate
Their very same existence was not meant to be
A distant memory brings back to the fore
What present day business cannot reveal
A distant memory brings back to the fore
What present day business cannot reveal
The puppets lost their grounds
When revealing their true face
Cause if discontent breeds upheaval
Ignorance feeds freakiness

An Eye In The Sky

An awkward sense of shared promiscuity
I sense it and I feel it and can touch it
Fuck you and your so called sense of privacy
Conform, comply and deal as required
Share your thoughts and display your worries
Share it widely with an awkward smile on your face
Evidence is blurred and I fuck your obedience
I fuck the verbal bullshit you keep vomiting
Distorted reality has proven to fit you
You and the fuckin’ freaks who follow you
An eye in the sky
An eye in the sky
I maintain it and assume it for good
I’ll let you hear what you want
And I’ll play it the way I love it
Fast denial and past glory
An eye in the sky

They claimed I would get out of it emboldened
I got to play it through with them twice
My feeling remains that the outcome is in place
Bying allegiance and asking for retribution
A bitter sense of duty, sliding down my throat
Prevailing over duty and ignoring the oath
A bitter sense of duty, sliding down my throat
Prevailing over duty and ignoring the oath
The retreat was designed but they had a last push in mind
And I had to aknowledge I failed
I planted most of the seeds in advance
They bought allegiance and asked for retribution
As I recovered from my wounds
They had already plugged it once again
Without begging and bluntly said
I thought real men would play it humble
A bitter sense of duty, sliding down my throat
Prevailing over duty and ignoring the oath
The link you claimed was broken… has revealed its true face
A honorable way in sight
Ruined by greed and pride
Greed and pride!

The Last Chapter

Fluid as it was, sheltered in my chest
A thick warning pain built to last
Sneaking through my nerves, killing me
Badly managed grief, built to last and here to stay
As I stormed my way to “it”
A magnet for hatred, pulling my love and hate
Not even worth a smile, ridiculous as it is
But the more I look at it, the sillier it gets
Its salvation stupid! Through fury
So join for a little while and strike where it hurts
As I stormed my way to “it”
A magnet for hatred, pulling my love and hate
Not even worth a smile ridiculous as it is
But the more I look at it, the sillier it gets
Deprived for a second but loaded for good
Blackmailing and isolation unleashed
Downtrodden, they said, and other fucked up excuses
Duty is no self esteem, as honor is engaged!

Cash System Industry

Stockpiling dreams, fiction, drama and faith
Antagonizing reason, abolishing capacity
Retune the symphony and redraw the line
Between reality and wishful thinking
The price of convenience dampens recovery
For rectifying the path would cost your enmity
A senseless failed antagonist system
Staining what is left of your fuckin’ pride
Selling your dignity and waiting for you smiling
For the cost of dissent buys you some time only
Alternative has already torched the hell out of you
Bursting laughter is already heard from inside the closet
If no other crude words match the bitter truth
Then I’ll keep it for myself and I’ll wait for you
Smile while it’s still there in you somewhere
Their stunning indifference convinced me to follow suit
The price of convenience dampens recovery
For rectifying the path would cost your enmity
A senseless failed antagonist system
Staining what is left of your fuckin’ pride!

Trial By Fire

Facts have silenced criticism
Staggering process has earmarked
Personal contribution, self sacrifice
Leverage, conditions moneyed by…
The rationale of procedures
Gave birth to factual authority
The one with suits, that suits you
The one that fucks you up every morning
Sticking to principles and bitchy slogans
Provides relief to second-raters and mignons
Decency would have entailed recognition
From your part, and that of your likes
Disillusion supplies self rendition
Disheartened outcry of self esteem
Disillusion supplies self rendition
Disheartened outcry of self esteem
Recognition...
Of a stunning failure
The one you offered free of charge
The one you were ready to assimilate
With no preconditions, no negotiation
Recognition of a stunning failure
The one you offered free of charge
The one you were ready to assimilate
With no preconditions, no negotiation!

Hordes of greasy and ugly giant pigs
Joking, playing and dancing in the garden
Starring at me as if I was one of them
With a smile on my face, I stared back and starting shouting
Hordes of greasy and ugly giant pigs
Joking, playing and dancing in the garden
Starring at me as if I was one of them
With a smile on my face, I stared back and starting shouting
Sing, baby, sing and look at yourself
Erasing beauty displaying your repugnance
It grows and spreads like fuckin’ hatred
I puffed and started to joke as well, I couldn’t resist
They then rolled over everything they could find
Mob destruction as a norm, I thought
Shared delirium and stupidity overwhelming
So we danced danced and danced again
So ugly we were like unseen freaks
Minds were gone, sold for cheap, for good!

It started the way it had to and I was dreaming at that time
Fog over the place, blurred thinking but evidence down the path
So far so good they said, and I bended
I bended, bended and bended all over again
For the show was still to come, had planned it but freaked out
I swore I could have handled it, proudly enough I thought
So far so good they said, and I bended I bended, bended and bended all over again
So far so good they said, and I bended \ I bended, bended and bended all over again
A lasting joke on my mind, thwarting any restrains
Not in a mood to hold on anything
A burst of despair they said, I say it my own way
A burst of fury, despicable but delicious
Nerves on the verge, I hardly could focus
Blowing up my chess, passionate fervor boiling
I gripped the remnants of it and prevailed
Shattered dreams changing into reality

Kriegspiel (2015)
02:33
|

Running to an obscure goal
With conviction that you’ll fight for freedom
Killing in the name of God
Without thinking about fears you sow
A hundred reasons
To kill enemies
But no certainty
To be in the right way
Kriegspiel
You live
In the hope that you’ll do something fuckin’ right
You don’t realize that you’re manipulate like a toy
Obey! \ To your stupid frustrated Major
Never mind the fact
That you’ll kill innocents
Never mind the fact
That you’ll kill innocents
Never!
For the glory of a nation
Enraged confrontations
For the glory of a nation
Spreading several suffocations
For the glory of a nation
Claiming the same sermon
For the glory of a nation
Destroying future generations
Fucking Kriegspiel!

Spasm (2015)

Common dreams I hate
Common dreams I hate
I reject your hopes
And your ideal is my nightmare
I spasm
The world is mine and yours I reject
I won’t relent and I’ll keep ablaze
Cause your vision is my disgust
And your ideal my nightmare
I’m never satisfied
And I like my fate
A fate of disgrace
Lament and refusal
Cause my orgasm
Is to be fed
With your abhorrence
And rejection
I spasm
If once you could listen
Poor and dear alike
Come closer
And share it with me
I may not be the one you want
The one you dream of may never come
I may not be the one you want
The one you dream of may never come

Betraying my conscience
I consent you spoiling
Keeping me on the edge
Inflicting me your will
To conquer what’s left
And conclude it’s justice
I’ve sold myself cheap
I’m left lamenting
Awaken right now
With a score to settle
Time is on my side
Think twice, slow down
Keep pushing baby
I’ll face you bleeding
I came to accept
What’s left behind me
You settled the rules, let’s play it your way
I never asked for anything, the choice was yours
Keep pushing baby \ I’ll face you bleeding
I‘d end up with those words \ Or get rid of my tongue
Buried Forgiveness
Long lives the sword
Buried Forgiveness
Long lives the sword
New rhetoric, barred from repentance
I’ve swallowed and chose to vomit
Determined, no back down
Demise is near, handle your way out!

KESS’KHTAK Genève, Switzerland
Kess'khtak is a death/grind band formed at the end of 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland.
After 15 years
and +150 gigs incl. Hellfest 2019, the band came up with a new album called "EPICURIANS».
A sad tale on the deplorable state of our world, enslaved by greed, hatred, and idiocy.

supported by 4 fans who also own “Inbreeding (2015)”
Decent debut from a promising band. For the most part a gnarly hybrid of Autopsy and Entombed, with a lot of good ideas and some fun atmospheric ambient sections. The last track sticks around far too long, but that's the only downer really. Well worth checking out for a good blast of new-old-school. Looking forward to the next release for sure!
