tank_06 “Breaker breaker, come in Earth. This is rocket ship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbonator in engine number 4. I’m gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully they got some space weed. Over.”
Man I love getting fucked up and playing space in the street. Now I finally have the perfect soundtrack.
-Jeff Favorite track: Drifting Into The Void.

Reese This EP made a fucking meat smoothie out of me then tossed me a rag to clean up the mess. This shit will beat and eat your ass. Favorite track: Succumbing To The Maelstrom.

Departed on this journey Where no man has gone before Brave human pioneers Charting the Unknown The Odyssey takes its toll And dementia sets in Impaired by this plague Thrown into psychotic rage Schizophrenic crew Sadistic thoughts within Calls from the unknown The ones who destroy Rewired to slaughter And they ravage the others Broken by space and time Their paranoid minds Rot Departed on this journey Where no man has gone before Those who remain Fight on for their lives The mad have heard the call From voices of the Unknown Unwarranted Psychosis Has led these men astray

Stretched and contorted Evaporating before your eyes Time and space curves Your mind is flattened You scream for help But to no avail The vacuum takes its hold Trapped for eternity Witness your genetic code Disintegrate in front of you Molecular code erased Memories begin to fade You scream for help But to no avail This vacuum takes its hold Trapped for eternity Your genetic code Lost to the void Slowly Drifting Towards The horizon Slowly Drifting Towards The horizon Awaiting Your fate Instant Incineration Finally the time has come to join its ranks Succumbing to the... MAELSTORM!!!
4.	Drifting Into The Void 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Drifting Into the void Endless vacuum Serenity Vast expanse of nothingness The light of dying stars My last vision Before slumber Approaching the gateway Cosmic dust engulfs me Into the void I pass And to dust I return Slowly losing sanity Asphyxiating, No longer I breathe My lungs now filling with the cosmic dust Into oblivion Go now I must
5.	Benath The Mist 04:08	lyrics	buy track
What lies beneath the surface? what lurks beneath the haze? Mankind can only dwell On secrets beneath Shrouded in noxious fog Mysterious clouded sphere Unseen By human eyes Titanic hydrogen mass Or exoplanet wasteland Beneath its swirling clouds Are horrors never seen Oceans of toxic vapors Beneath the surface lurks The Nameless Alien Spawns And lifeforms yet unknown Titans Unknown Xenogenesis Of star spawned life Panspermia Proliferation Extremophilic lifeforms Biological feat What lies beneath the surface? what lurks beneath the haze? Xenogenesis Lifeforms unknown Cosmic void of life Unknown
6.	Black Sea (Of Infinity) 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Celestial force Drawing mankind to the stars New era of man Interstellar journey Heeding the call Quest for knowledge deepens Approaching the gateway Warping time and space Black sea Of infinity Black sea Of infinity The Black hole's center No type of matter escapes Enter the void From this there is no escape What lies beyond? The answers soon await Event horizon There is no turning back Black sea Of infinity Black sea Of infinity (breakdown, spoken) “We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

about

'There’s a lot of “new” old-school death metal out there these days. And with the unrelenting multiplication of bands, labels and scenes, this has led to a massive over-saturation of bands who worship the major pillars of the Floridian-Morrisound and the Swedish Sunlight sound. But leave it to Camo Pants, the little label out of Glasgow, to find bands that stand out and try and take their idol worship to more interesting places.' - Decibel Magazine

“Drifting Into the Void” is a prime example of Boethiah‘s unusual ability to integrate the revered HM-2-powered tone of Swedish death metal with alien musical ingredients that send the listener’s imagination out into the chilling vastness of the interstellar void. It’s not for naught that their music has been characterized as “an insidious integration of the past and the future” - No Clean Singing

"These six cosmic horrors are just that as they supply you with a sickening amount of death that cannot be denied." - The Cadaver Garden

"Despite the esoteric and cosmic themes running throughout the EP, the music itself is just as cavernous and dirty as you’d hope. The chainsaw-roar riffs are as chunky and rancid as Satan’s stool sample, and the vocals sound every bit like the eldritch abomination they’re portraying" - Indy Metal Vault

“Celestial Gateway” is an absolute beaut to behold and I can’t help but wholeheartedly recommend this little treat to anyone wanting some cosmic death metal in their lives straight from the underground.' - Headbanger Reviews

'Imagine, if you will, an alien invasion set to the backdrop of sci-fi infused, blood ‘n’ guts death metal. That’ll be Boethiah‘s Celestial Gateway you’re picturing and with just 8 months separating the release of their debut album, Invocation Of The Xenolith, you can consider Boethiah’s particular invasion in full effect!' - Worship Metal

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Spun it about 5 times over the past weekend, in a sea of overbearing DM this demo hits hard with those blasts that groove along with the pummel of the riff, and solos and synths that take you somewhere else, better than the record versions imo. bacon_cakez
