Nocturnal 03:41
I don't like the voices fighting in my head I need you to know Look around the room where everybody's dead Inside - like you Jockeying the beast rotting in my chest Racing for my life Not afraid of death but what is coming next Don't follow the light Devils don't need the hell to exist Nothing is the same Devils don't need the hell to exist Neither are we So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps afraid what mirrors say So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps afraid of yourself So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps you are afraid to lose your way Devils don't need the hell to exist Nothing is the same Devils don't need the hell to exist Neither are we So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps afraid what mirrors say So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps afraid of yourself So we undergo fruitless wars Perhaps you are afraid to lose your way I don't like the voices fighting in my head I need you to know Look around the room where everybody's dead Inside - like you Jockeying the beast rotting in my chest Racing for my life Not afraid of death but what is coming next Don't follow the light

Oblivion 04:18
Dysfunctional mind hinders me My own flesh and bone imprisons me Feels like a cage, lifeless, fake A torture cell i crave to escape The portal to existence free of obstruction I hope to reach by means of destruction Here is no forgiveness, no salvation Just the path to perdition Ricocheting off these walls, my own scream strikes my ear Beyond perception the torment roars, my countenance sheds a single tear I crave to escape Tear off strips of my own flesh Tendons break as in agony they stretch Shreds of tissue fly away in gore Muscle by muscle i cut towards the core The portal to existence free of obstruction I hope to reach by means of destruction Here is no forgiveness, no salvation Just the path to perdition Ricocheting off these walls, my own scream strikes my ear Beyond perception the torment roars, my countenance sheds a single tear Kill, kill the human in me Kill, kill

Slave 04:24
Skin bruised, underground, life begins by decay In an ocean of tears I strangle my own wrath Like you fought with your own rage I fight my sorrow Forever I'm your slave, the lacerations rot Keep rotting forever like demons in your head They never disappear, stalking every step Just burn the ashes Just burn the ashes Always judged the others. Never yourself - how humiliating So you cut out your tongue to keep your secrets inside Skin bruised, underground, life begins by decay In an ocean of tears I strangle my own wrath Forever I'm your slave, the lacerations rot Keep rotting forever like demons in your head They never disappear, stalking every step Clad in emptiness seeping through my bones Lay my shell into a nest of mold, just burn the ashes Just burn the ashes Just burn the ashes The pain is overwhelming - only thing left for me Believe me, I tried The pain is overwhelming - only thing left for me Just burn the ashes

Uprising 04:06
You stand high above, oh, how generous You are martyr, priest and god, preach to us A glorious sight - you with your - crown of gold Lo! Behold! The beautiful throne of bones Masses of brainwashed puppets march in your wake Carrying scythes and sickles to help you dominate Dominate! You stand high above, oh, how generous You are martyr, priest and god, preach to us Through your teeth you lie while wearing a fake your smile And the masses chant your name - such glee! You have no shame! You stop at no atrocity, tear off legs Shy away at no perversity, tear off arms You stop at no atrocity, sever heads Shy away at no perversity, sever hearts No cost is too high Blinded by greed you have sold your empathy Counting on the world to fall into apathy Blinded by greed you have sold your empathy Counting on the world to fall into apathy You'll never break me down for your own fucking gain You'll never take us down till we return all the pain We return all the pain

The same freezing morns, the same empty nights I can't recall when it all melted in one Excitement slowly disappears, just daily routines remain Impulses fade away in the mist of my mind beneath the sun In the mist of my mind Beneath the sun In the mist of my mind Beneath the sun Uncertainty slowly creeps in, the wall looming over me Grows taller with the days and weeks - who's waiting on the other side? There were times i craved to know, but those days are long time gone My wounds take much more time to heal in this bitter sea of tears Impulses fade away Impulses fade away Impulses fade away In the mist of my mind Beneath the sun In the mist of my mind Beneath the sun Who's waiting on the other side? Who's waiting? Who's waiting on the other side? Who's waiting?

What Remains 04:06
We are just broken, gathering dust We are abandoned, hope for a landslide that buries us How to dilute this agony? How do you heal these wounds so deep? Cauterize your scars, scarred stand upright Reshape what remains Come to terms, disfigured but alive How to dilute this agony? How do you heal these wounds so deep? In the junkyard of your life Don't let yourself bleed, never accept defeat The pain is killing me - retaliate! Collect what's left of me, see what remains So hard to subdue this darkness in me This force that longs to explode from within So hard to subdue this darkness in me This force that longs to explode from within In the junkyard of your life Don't let yourself bleed, never accept defeat The pain is killing me - retaliate! Collect what's left of me, see what remains What remains

Universe 04:13
I am a seed, i am the tree of life, i live by my own design Still i feel like a drop in the sea once i behold the vast infinity We are ephemeral like a mayfly in just one day We disappear from the face of universe We are ephemeral like a mayfly in just one day We disappear from the face of universe I am a seed, i am the tree of life, i live by my own design Still i feel like a drop in the sea once i behold the vast infinity The solid ground gives way We fall through endless space Never, never to be seen again We go numb facing the reality - our temporary life Nothing, nothing matters anymore We are ephemeral like a mayfly in just one day We disappear from the face of universe We are ephemeral like a mayfly in just one day We disappear from the face of universe Universe survives And its infinity stays Universe survives And its infinity stays Universe survives We die

Empty 04:25
Devourer of light, of all your sins, of everything mundane A cursed monster, a product of humanity's decline Created by your failure, out of lacking humanism and compassion That's me Now you feel the devil is near You don't believe But he is in your minds The devil is real But he is in your minds Created by your failure, out of lacking humanism and compassion That's me If you've seen the world through my eyes, you'd have them shut There's something rotten in everyone No pride, just shame, just guilt! That's me, a worthless coward Stuck between a death wish and survival If you've seen the world through my eyes, you'd have them shut There's something rotten in everyone All i see is a blinding blackness, will to survive is long gone... So erase me already, i'm a wolf unworthy of a pack Now you feel the devil is near You don't believe But he is in your minds The devil is real But he is in your minds
9.
Deceit 04:20
Immortal apparitions of fear invade the air I breathe The agony fades in with every breath I take All shall disappear Everything shall die All shall disappear Everything shall die Time is said to heal all wounds Mine still gape, blood gushing out The world resembles an old movie Pulsating agony impedes my sleep I don't believe, don't believe in brighter days The world resembles an old movie Pulsating agony impedes my sleep All shall disappear Everything shall die All shall disappear Everything shall die After all is said I'll be on my way After all is dead I'll start a new day After all is said I'll be on my way After all is dead I'll start A new day I know you'll never break my sense I know you'll never break I know you'll never break my sense I know you'll never

about

NEUROTIC VISION OF DEATH METAL!!!

Fifth studio album of the Czech tech-death metal outfit NEUROTIC MACHINERY. The band did not really forget their "handwriting", nor their signature sound, however, they continue exploring various spaces within the metal spectrum. It's not a surprise, though. NEUROTIC MACHINERY make it their mission to never stagnate. The experiments within the death metal genre date back to the year 2012, the journey led to a more progressive, more atmospheric approach and all the way to the very threshold of post-metal. With "Nocturnal Misery" the band comes with another major twist, turning once again to a darker, raw metal experience.

"Nocturnal Misery" is based on true death metal, approached in a modern way. It's progressive as well as straightforward. Occasionally it's also possible to notice black metal inspirations. What has not changed is the approach with major emphasis on technical aspect and sophisticated composition.

The guitarist and the band's main composer, Michal Sedivy describes the album: "Compared to the previous album, "Cognitive Dissonance", we have strayed a little and went for a rougher, heavier expression. The new material differs significantly from our previous endeavours. It's full of anger, agression and darkness, but never loses our signature Neurotic presentation."

There's another first time for "Nocturnal Misery". It's actually the first album presenting two solo vocalists/growlers. Alongside the founding member Ondra Uhlir, the album features a debut of Jan Pilik (Insanidroid), who joined the band in September 2018. The vocal duo comes with a new energy and diversity, adding more urgency and darkness to the expression of the band.

Some reviews so far:

Dutch Metal Maniac (9/10)
In conclusion: Nocturnal Misery is a true death metal album that is predominantly marked by brutality, but that incorporates little extras here and there that keep you engaged as listener. Thus, no boredom with that one, and I can recommend it to any death metal fans that are on the hunt for something with a twist.

Metal Temple (8/10)
NEUROTIC MACHINERY has a very good musical work, indeed. And as long as they evolve, Czechia will be small for them.
