Apex of Agony
In the depths of this desolate endless reign
I, a tortured soul shackled in anguish and pain
I trudge through desolation
Upon the alter of emotion
Besmirched by parental demise
in this desolate landscape
my humanity wanes, fading from sight
Eventually hope's flame subsides
In a world now in their eyes
Lost souls have vanished
Vanquished from this mortal shore
Boundless realms will beckon
As I traverse beyond life's threshold
A soldier of torture
A puppet of their design
A prisoner of their malevolent mind
In this vile existence, forever I am confined
Ravaged by their machines, dissected, torn apart
In their cold, sterile embrace
Each day an offering dripping with venomous pain
My spirit forever be trapped in chains
As I delve into the facilities heart of dread
Revelation awakens, horrors loom ahead
Embracing the darkness, my spirit will sustain
Carving my way through the never-ending pain
Silicon dreams
An endless stream
Forever haunting me
Digital schemes
Caught between the
Twisted seams of reality
Bound by their delusion
I am contorted into oblivion
Left to suffer and erode
As I descend once more
Bound by their delusion
I am contorted into oblivion
Left to suffer and erode
As I descend once..
My fractured mind lost in distorted, nightmarish dreams
Every day descends further into madness, conjuring insanity
(Lost souls have vanished, boundless realms will beckon)
Amidst the obscure void that craves death
Engineered to breed hate
The antithesis of humanity
In a casm that whispers a promise of oblivion
To my very being
Morph into sanctuary
Lost souls have vanished
Vanquished from this mortal shore
Boundless realms will beckon
As I traverse beyond life's threshold

[@BravoCharlie224]

As a Texan, I can confirm that this does indeed sound like a night in Texas

[@dustinmock8734]

Sounds like older Aversions Crown. I dig it.

[@travisspaulding9540]

Very similar bands.

[@DatboiDemonX]

And his own band Valley Of Snakes. Only Mark Poida would write lyrics with vocals like this.

[@Nickolie56]

@@DatboiDemonXthis isn’t poida lol

[@ItsJustChase]

I just commented this.. lmao. I should have read on down the comments. I miss their old vocalist man. Good to hear this now

[@Adrianiq1551]

YES

[@DeadDanDan]

it’s literally their first single y’all, i’m excited to see what kind of new territory they’ll tread! 🔥🔥

[@mulle171]

producer: how unnatural should the drums sound? a night in texas: yes!

[@joshyboy9754]

Unnatural? This drum mix along with divine dichotomy sounds ridiculously raw, listen to any other band that just samples everything

[@terriblecertainity]

@@joshyboy9754 there is literally no dynamic or variation between snare hits. The snare and kick are either programmed or entirely replaced by samples. The only thing sounding like they could be real are the cymbals. And sadly, in this mix ( compared to the rest of the album), it completely overpowers the guitars. I get that this is the norm right now ( although I hate that sound), but I don't fault the band for it. And again, the mix of the rest of the album is far better. But it definitely isn't raw

[@RobTroiano]

No idea how people are calling this bland compared to their old stuff. The speed and techy riffs are waaaaaay more interesting than anything else they done. Hope the rest of the album is like this.

[@Compendyum]

You can start with this questionable mix, that has never been so mediocre in comparison to what they had.

[@audiolord4514]

@@Compendyum its basically the same mix as The Divine Dichotomy - same mix engineer etc

[@user-ol8jh5uc7i]

Boring thy art vocals

[@Lord_Burrito]

Tell us you’ve never heard anything off The God Delusion without telling us you’ve never heard anything off The God Delusion. This song doesn’t even come CLOSE to touching I, Godless, River of Pain, or Satan’s Upheaval. This isn’t visceral or maniacally heavy, this just lacks in more departments than it should. I’m not gonna say they should hang up the instruments and call it a day, but this song just doesn’t amount to the unfettered vitriol and sheer mayhem that TGD had. It’s different for sure, but definitely not my wheelhouse anymore.

[@Lord_Burrito]

@@audiolord4514 Many would disagree with that, and I definitely am. You guys write the music you want and that's fine, the fans have to accept it and move on- but it just doesn't hold a candle to the old stuff in my books. To each their own.

[@I_M0NARCH_I]

That lead riff....my god \m/

[@coopergriffin9968]

Really happy this band is back! One of the only heavy bands that hasn't resorted to clean vocals gotta love it

[@insectwarfare8681]

One of the only ones? Literally most of them don’t use cleans. There’s plenty more bands than the more popular mainstream ones that you listen to. Branch out.

[@BirdOfHermes83]

I can think of plenty. Shadow of intent, lorna shore (and he can actually sing) Chelsea grin, signs of the swarm, angelmaker, archspire, distant, Inferi, Worm shepherd, disembodied tyrant, to the grave, benighted (just recently got into them)

[@nexus_father5468]

That 100% is Mark. There’s no doubt in my mind

[@Smithysmithin]

The more I hear it the more I'm positive its Mark. Not to mention the art? Spacey stuff? No way it isn't him lol. This lyric video is like a callback to Erebus. Not to mention the overall sound is very Poida era Aversions Crown.

[@nexus_father5468]

@@Smithysmithin agreed. The lyricism is also very like Poida’s

[@HelixNebuIa]

They just posted a band picture, it’s not Poida.

[@Lord_Burrito]

Vocalists’ name is Sam Cameron. Not sure what projects he had before this.

[@OlympusMadeMe88]

Good shit lads. I like the sound of this.

[@benliftin4awhile]

Sounds like the guy Kyle from “a trust unclean” or “she must burn” British guy, one of the most insane vocalists I’ve ever heard.

[@ranarok]

This sounds like a follow-up to Aversion Crown Xenocide album and I'm here for it. Mark Poida singing?

[@DatboiDemonX]

It's definitely him, the lyrics and vocals are a dead giveaway. His own band Valley Of Snakes is the same as well.

[@MarkRamirez66648]

[@ElAmigo616]

Las bandas grandes en promedio demoran 2-3 años en sacar un nuevo álbum. Tampoco es que hayan demorado tanto.

Fast paced riffs and melodic leads, great production, good stuff

[@anewpath9024]

Good production quality holy cow this is good

[@user-wq9wb1vt7q]

Yes we Back

[@Menoetius.]

Sounds like it was recorded into an empty water bottle, which is not always a bad thing,, but in this case probably not the best choice. But I really dig the writing and the breakdown honestly. Standard KZbin butcher's sound quality, so I will give ya'll a free pass on that one. Amp up the listening experience for people that are using high quality headphones and speakers. Edit: after hearing it on the youtube music app the sound quality and mix was so much better

Pure fucking BRUTALITY! Double HORNS UP! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@lizardguitarguy]

Glad their back and the techy speed was nice but I miss the vocals focusing more on highs. That’s what made this band stick out to me is the sick high vocals. There’s some good stuff in here but I’m sure we’ll hear more variety from them with more releases. New vocalist is sick tho! 🔥🔥🔥

[@travisspaulding9540]

I think if this vocalist tried to be like Ethan, everyone would say he can’t match him.

[@lizardguitarguy]

@@travisspaulding9540 Ethan was good but I miss Rheese haha

My dude Mark poida that you? 👀

[@DatboiDemonX]

I fucking hope so, I still jam The Reject Of Humanity from I Valiance and Parasites, Erebus and The Breeding Process from Aversions Crown + his own band Valley Of Snakes.

Is that Mark Poida on vocals? The vocals and lyrics sound similar to Parasites, Erebus and The Breeding Process by Aversions Crown + his own band Valley Of Snakes.

[@alumapro]

Hell yes, that album art is fucking sick too

[@warrenweaver6664]

Can’t wait been waiting for another release from them was sad when Ethan left cause I was really liking how his vocals were going but this new guy sounds killer.

[@Imamanchild]

Good to finally see them back at it. 🤘🏼🖤

[@Nuggetswithcheese]

A Night in Texas has always had a pretty unique take on the deathcore genre but I can't help but feel like that uniqueness was tied to Ethan Lucas' incredible vocals. Without them, this feels ultimately forgettable amongst the insanely saturated deathcore scene right now. It's not bad, but it's not achieving greatness either.

[@StarlordStavanger]

My thoughts exactly. They went from being unique and standing out, to now just soundlng like any other deathcore band, and it doesn't stand out at all. Such a shame, but bands don't last forever...

[@Grugslybugg666]

i couldnt agree more

[@Lord_Burrito]

Hello? Rheese Peters? The God Delusion is hands down one of the gnarliest and most vitriolic (modern) deathcore records. Ethan picked up the torch and had fantastic highs, but assuming this is Mark, I’m really not sure how I feel about this. Mark is a great vocalist himself but I’m not sure how well his sound molds to A Night in Texas.

[@Obamner]

@@Lord_Burrito if this is mark i will say hes def improved from the last album. iirc it was all mids and here we hear his highs and tbh they're decent. better to see improvement. But i will say its hard to find a vocalist that molds to ANIT.

[@bvaldebenitom]

@@Obamner The "all mids" album was with a vocalist different from Mark. That guy is on Thy Art Is Murder now.
