Track By Tracks: Discovery Through Torment - Telesynthetic Rebirth (2025)

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

Lyrically, Telesynthetic Rebirth tells a video game-inspired story of collapse and replacement, following the downfall of a former entity and the rise of a new force that abducts humans, reshapes them into telepathic killing machines, and unleashes them in a genocidal conquest of Earth. The lyrics weave themes of experimentation and domination, closing with a cliffhanger that sets up the next chapter.

Musically, the EP blends the weight of slam with blackened deathcore. It follows a deliberate pattern of epic, heavy, epic, heavy tracks, keeping variety at the core and aiming to sustain the listener’s engagement from start to finish.

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Dethronement:

Opening with an epic track, Dethronement sets the stage for the entire narrative. Lyrically, it announces the fall of the Mangled God, a barbaric figure defined by torture and violence, whose reign collapses to make way for something even greater. Musically, it leans into grandeur and scale, establishing the “epic” side of the EP’s alternating pattern.

2. Arcane Inception:

With the old deity gone, Arcane Inception delivers a heavy and crushing shift in tone. The lyrics reveal the new force’s intentions—abducting humanity, beginning with the most impressionable, described as “malleable respondents.” Musically, this is one of the record’s most aggressive offerings, built on dense riffs and suffocating heaviness.

3. Veil Unfurling:

The third track swings back to the epic side, combining a soaring chorus with lyrics that take on a more clinical, surgical quality. Inspired in part by medical jargon, the song romanticizes the transformation of captives into telepathic servants. Its balance of atmosphere and weight makes it a pivotal centerpiece of the EP.

4. Lesions:

The most direct and punishingly heavy track, Lesions delivers rapid-fire, high-pitched vocal lines over a relentless backdrop. Lyrically, it signals to the unabducted that the enemy is closing in, urging them to recognize their demise even as they attempt to escape. The twisted chorus adds variety while amplifying the sense of inevitability.

5. First Encounter Assault Regiment:

The EP closes where it began: in epic territory. First Encounter Assault Regiment unleashes the genocidal plan in full, as the telepathic legions march forward without restraint. Musically, it’s the most towering chorus of the record, matched by lyrics that end on a cliffhanger. What begins as a vision of a new lineage and rewritten history twists into the suggestion of regime reversal and a possible counterattack, leaving the story open for continuation.
