Conquest 03:05
Journey to a distant land To create devastation With the belief of destiny at heart To erase civilization One by one take their lives Killing will become sport The great deceiver conveys false prophecies of a promised land Lies feed their hunger for answers as death awaits his blades command Slaves they will become The conquest is unstoppable Outnumbered and overwhelmed Your lives have been lost The genocide reigns True suffering is dealt A rebellion soon follows But the blood has been spilt Surrender for hope To see another day The unrelenting decimation Cannot be ceased The land has been claimed By forces of brutality Landgrave Solo* Prisoner of ignorance it was your fate you paved Rivera Solo*

Enslaved 04:10
Bringing bow and breaking might Through the false prophetic lies Through your trust you brought no fight Men in robes destroy all hope Kept in chains the prey now spite Forever damned to the unholy Those who serve will not know light Those who serve shall not know light The slaves forever forgotten Cast down on their knees In this nation taken By an agent of satan Deceived, Led astray, Now Seized, Enslaved Marching from the depths of hate To corrupt and create sin Cynical and infectious Reign of terror infests your life Shackled wrists always bound Cloth begins to sodden blood At the whipping post you feel The eternal torment in his name Deceived, Led astray Now Seized, Enslaved Landgrave Solo* Rivera Solo* Enslaved

Famine 05:06
A wicked evil sent from above possessed we cannot fight Sickness engulfs and creates a barren land hunger becomes everlasting Ferocious plague alters the flesh and embeds a hope for death Agony sets in reality is clear this torture cannot be escaped Landgrave Lead* Decomposing slowly immense pain feel your body ache insane Putrefied limbs rot and fester wither to dust as maggots enter Cannibal last resort swallow any dignity Hell is bored at you lack of vigor Satan awaits your demise Sickness eats the flesh Hunger strangles your mind Suffer to the end Famine claims your soul Your heart races fast thoughts grow deranged your hunger decays you from within Eat the flesh the clear solution do what you must to survive Rivera Lead* Famine your body eating itself A paradox that ceases all life Suffer your pity attempt at life Deprived of your right to die FAMINE CLAIMS YOUR SOUL

The hunger for bliss The pleasure is ever so sweet For a moment's time But wicked consequences soon arise After all is said and done Your life is over before it's begun The plagued pleasure A sweet taste of death The plagued pleasure Taste the forbidden reality Again you desire for this cursed pleasure You know its power and its hunger for death Yet you feed into the sickened plague Becoming another victim in the eternal war The plague is fierce and cunning Choosing its prey through a desperate flock Unknowingly falling into the trap that was set You were out of the fight before you could swing The plagued pleasure A sweet taste of death The plagued pleasure Taste the forbidden reality The disease controls and destroys Life after life Day by day The fight continues of The plagued pleasure A sweet taste of death The plagued pleasure Taste the forbidden reality

War 04:53
War is a disease soon to bring us to our knees Disrupted by the fire destruction’s at our door Ambush hit the floor go towards the light Now we start our sacred fight time to forge some blood and steel Sent to the front ordered to kill Ready your weapon the enemy is near Hear the trumpets burst the song of death Time is ticking now the enemy’s set it’s course Fire, leave no witness we must not show remorse Victory at blood cost so march now to your end Now step foot on hostile ground the end is growing near Sent to the front waiting to die Watch as the bombs drop from the sky Hear the gunfire bursting in your ear Look up to the sky it’s cutting through the clouds Screeching of the sirens the war has begun! Mark this day so full of hate No escape we have sealed our fate Cast into chaos with no hope to spare Seek for a god in the cracks at the sky Slave to fire you serve to die
6.
Tyranny a facade of peace, assault until we bleed on our knees A wasteland of life with our value measured by a dollar Slave until I die Cast out a number in the system This time called life spent on our knees When will the scales tip in favor of the weak So called world leaders choose our lives and send us to our grave Forever building their eternal wealth, enslaved for life They’ve taken our lives forever in command With enough wealth to buy the world These vicious dogs lay us to die With a hand in our jar and a spoon in their mouth When the scales tip in our favor, leaders of pain Shall burn for their crimes, when true judgement is cast
7.
Death 02:37
Endless rebirth question each day, is there hope or means of escape Lives of suffering and ecstasy, who truly lives when everyone dies? There is no rapture or hell which to sink The keeper of balance is the voice that will speak There are things that are and things that will be A divine afterlife is no guarantee A sacrifice for this gift you will make Your blind devotion was the lethal mistake Journey through time Witness to life This is the cost of our time on this land pay the price of your life Planets fall and stars implode the law of the universe enforced There are things that are and things that will be A divine afterlife is no guarantee A sacrifice for this gift you will make Your blind devotion was your lethal mistake

Atomic warfare Ignites mass extinction Die in the open grave This burning winter slaughters the mother of all A blinding flash of eternal heat Petrified ashes fill the streets The deceased forever forgotten But the catastrophe reigns forever A choice of death out of control Your fate now paced a slave on your knees Dictators have invoked this fear of the end Pray for a quick painless death Frail Existence Are we killing the world Or are we killing ourselves Dehumanize the planet Like a flash all at once Erase the plague that infests the land Spontaneous annihilation Incinerator of life Burn the sky Black as night Now we all die The life you took Eats away at you Now you are beared With the mark of hate Landgrave Solo* Frail Existence Cleanse this filth Die so brutal To be gone forever

about

This album was created over the course of our existence. In January of 2018 Rafi Ornelas, Kenny Landgrave, Jack Ridpath, and Issiah Moreno got the band started. They first began working on songs based on the concept behind what would eventually become the full length "Frail Existence". Dubbed the "Horsemen EP" in it's earliest stages. The determination to create music based on the concept of the New Tetstament's apocalypse was ignited.

The concept molded into the entire idea of Frail Existence by expanding on the connection the horsemen make to the real world. By creating sub-songs associated with the base concept of each horsemen the vison was complete. A good portion of the ideologies strived for were drafted in the initial lineup. Live shows throughout the time showcased early versions of what was to come in the final product. By September of 2019 Ridpath departed due to artistic differences. Eager to fill the slot the search began. Within a month local thrash master Isaiah Rivera of Retention was enlisted in the crusade. Bringing finalizing concepts and musical contributions to the songs, the stage was set.

Each song describes a part of the journey that is our concept. It encases the image of humanity's civilized existence. From the conquest that slaughtered our ancestors and those who were enslaved, to the famines that once infested the land. Formally describing the bleakness in vices that have plagued our people. It covers the ideas of addiction, war and revolution. The closing themes are that we all perish and question our afterlife. We miss the purpose of what our existence is as a species. The closing track portrays the fact that we're missing our opportunity to fulfill our true meaning of why we are in the universe which is still unknown and potentially meaningless.

All tracks recorded, mixed and mastered by Matt Herrera of LastLeaf Audio & Design throughout 2020. Thanks to everyone who has supported us along our journey. Let the metal flow!
