"They ache from a place that's not far from our own. Incessant pattering.
If you listen closely you can hear the suffering of strained twine.
There's only a membrane that separates us. It's very thin, and weak in its resolve.
It's a place from which hands can reach, but mortality is foreign.
Incantations hang from the shelves of bent whispers
and corpulent hands.
The noose that they gave me, you can hear it unfurl.
The parting of a neck is deafening.
Piloted eyes burst with a clandestine revelation.
All a pool of blackened hammers. Our spirit the nail. Our bodies the anvil.
They stare with the weight of them.
A horror gapes, the yawning mouth of Hell.
Countless teeth chew the bones of weaker men.
Devour my failings, and the character that led me there.
Cleanse me of filth. Reduce me to void.
Cleanse me of filth.
Crush my body between jaws of persecution.
Cleanse me of filth. Reduce me to void.
They carve curses from the feet of our broken children.
They reached for our throats when tolerance burned away.
It was an alien notion.
Incantations hang from the breathes of bent whispers
and corpulent hands.
That noose that they gave me, you can hear it unfurl.
The parting of a neck is deafening."

I’ve been a fan of Death Metal since I was a child. I remember the first time hearing Morbid Angel: Formulas Fatal to the Flesh, it blew my mind. Then I started playing guitar and I just fell in love with Treys crazy over the top creative style. Well 19 or so years later and it’s deja vu because Vitriol and Kyle are doing the same thing to me all over again. What a BREATHE OF FRESH SULFURIC AIR. This is truly motivating and inspiring. Amazing, you guys are ALL just phenomenal musicians, artists and song writers. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Whenever I hear virtuoso tech-death metal musicians like you guys, I often wonder just how damn great you are and how unfair is the fact that you don't get recognized. I mean, I honestly believe that Kyle (and many other teach-death guitarist) are on Steve Vai/Malmsteen levels of virtuosity, yet they do not have that kind of appreciation or recognition as the well established virtuosos. I mean, yeah I understand that death metal, especially such intense death metal as Vitriol is never going to be as popular as some easily digestible and listenable hard rock guitar wankery; but you get my point. Amazing playing guys, you're an inspiration to either give up guitar for good, or practice more. :D
