Scrutiny

by Beyond The Structure

/
1.
The endless cycle of alteration Will reset human progress to its starting point This is evolution Achieving the peak of progress will trigger the mechanism of involution That will throw the mankind into the abyss of destruction The machine of involution starts to run Unmerciful beast, clock ticking backwards This is involution Eternal chaos overruns the system Eternal clashes for resources That will erase humanity from the face of the earth When the system shell is cracked The ugly truth will be revealed Global failure already committed Irreversible process will be completed Paralyzed in endless destruction The great progress is gone, stagnation devouring all, grinding all into memories Falling into oblivion All that thrived in evolution erased by involution With the help of disasters and catastrophes The great one restarts the system of the universe Those few who survived start their new way To start it over once again

Progressors 03:37
Having ended up in another prism of time On a planet devoured by total blindness and degradation Submerging into a mechanism that transformed the masses into a faceless cold monolith Where everything that leads to progress is destroyed The progressors from the outside has invaded the world that is alien to them Impossibility to pass through branches of evolution and its cyclicity leads to defeat in the fight between the progressive future and the animal nature, and to realization that every world must complete its own path of development
3.
Born by the technological evolution A global system of social control absorbs masses, generating their tastes, desires and values Climbing deep into the subconscious Imposing an inferiority complex That creates the worm of consumption Programmed by the algorithm of values and attitudes Ritualizing meaningless signs without content Masses blindly building a world of unlimited consumption and domination over nature. Drowning in a non-existent fiction, jubilant over their social status Enslaved and disfigured by commercial standardization of appearance The machine affects the unconscious Creating a psychological chain reaction Leading everything to the point of no return Heading towards an inevitable disaster
4.
Where is the true reality? Collective visualization formed by generations. Where is the true reality? Travelling between worlds which offer nothing to hold on to. Like a nuclear blast, release of a psychic energy which cannot be utilized. Understanding of non-existent relations with shadows of the extinct world. A visual spasm passed over the eyes, bright spots flashed in the darkness. Teleportation to other worlds, the worlds where there is nothing. The only real moment in time is now. This is the border between the past and the future, and this is the door to eternity. Chained by a stream of dreams, the stream where everything is relative, we become a part of it, the space that needs to be erased for us to break free. Once we end up in something where all realities are equally illusionary We realize that there is a point which cannot be moved by anything at all The point from which one falls into oblivion. There is only one freedom, freedom from what the mind builds.

6.
Formation of a non-existent event and its implementation into the collective consciousness Infecting one by one, a mental virus The more opinions and rumors about its extraordinary nature The stranger and more unexpected will the result be. Depleting millions of minds into a single Egregor Powered by faith in its existence It germinates through the system Profaning and poisoning reality It materializes into an ugly existential perversion Through endless wanderings the maze of total absurdity Observing processes and analyzing A blow from within, a flash of light, the shocking awareness That you are drowning in the kingdom of the living dead
7.
In a hopeless repetition of cyclicity In a parallel between being and non-being Existential realization as a bottomless abyss Gives hope for a possible revival Refusal of the spirit to accept imprisonment Realization of oneself being a part of numerous existences, random and reason-less Standing before the face of Nothingness, feeling paralyzed and scared, then stepping back Everything changes and starts to exist in another form The world is thickening, blending sounds and forms into an inseparable unity, erasing the understanding of what actually surrounds us, of what can be something else and not what it is. All separate moments of the day are blended into a whole, and gain a meaning. Agony. Apathy. Condemned Redemption. Forsaken. Martyr
8.
Illusion as a source of suggestion Born into the consciousness of one individual The mechanical spread of affect from one member to another as an infectious disease. A mental epidemic based on imitation and suggestibility Affects a large amorphous group subject to mass psychosis The evoked representation becomes a nucleus for further crystallization, filling the entire space of the mind and paralyzing all critical abilities. Awareness of the tragic reality causes repulsion. Too late, the masses are suffocating from convulsions Unconscious processes of extra collective behavior Enslave the masses, cutting off the path to the truth

about

Vicious Instinct Records is extremely proud to announce the brand new album from Estonian death metal band Beyond the Structure titled 'Scrutiny'.

The album writing process for their second full-length album began at the end of 2018. After 10 instrumental demos were written, the band began rehearsing the new material with their new line up. The 8 best songs were chosen and the recording of the final product commenced in 2020.

Those 8 songs are:
1. Endless Cycles
2. Progressors
3. Worms of Consumption
4. Portal to Eternity
5. Fictional Reality
6. Profanation of the Non-Existent
7. Numerous Existences
8. Mass Psychosis

Thematically, the album addresses the trials and difficulties that humanity faces over the course of evolution. The lyrics are inspired by the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, the Strugatsky brothers and Viktor Pelevin. The band touches upon the crisis of existential existence, mass psychosis, and the inevitable catastrophes caused by the actions of a consumption-based society.
