Industrial Society I

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

Freedom Club
03:15
|
|||
|
Seas of Progress prospecting solutions to a dimly lit future
Succumbing the masses to unnatural change
Corroding the minds of the weak
Eradication of Intelligence
Utopian vision turned into a dystopian nightmare
Pages written to eradicate
The industrialized death machine
Liberation from the mainframe
We are the Freedom Club
|

Inevitable Collapse
01:00
|
|||
|
A new age of mass consumerism
Surrogates to the machine
Obey the gods of the new age
Drugged out and hopeless
Engorging on the fantasy of content
Consuming until nothing is left
Eradicating the truth and propagating only lies
Society at the brink of collapse
Division creating civil unrest
Nations in constant war
Mankind shall inevitably collapse
|
||||
4. |
Currency of Control
02:27
|
|||
|
Manipulated by what can’t be seen
Control slowly implemented
Fear overpowering intelligence
A promise of salvation
Shall enslave the weakened masses
Guitar Solo(Ben Gott)
Lies promoted as truth
War in place of peace
Security replacing freedom
The Masters create
The problem reaction solution
Guitar Solo(Joe Soranaka)

It is not possible to make a LASTING compromise between technology and freedom, because technology is by far the more powerful social force and continually encroaches on freedom through REPEATED compromises.

Digital Enslavement
02:10
|
|||
|
Tied by invisible chains
Slaves of the digital age
Your rights are being suffocated
Are you truly alive
Suffocated by modernization
Innovation leading us into hell
|
||||
7. |
Alienation Era
02:12
|
|||
|
Trapped in this invisible cage
Emptily staring into a cellular screen
Devoid of human connection
Sense of humanity slipping away
Alienated by technological dependence
Slaves to our own creation
Losing all sense of identity
In the end I have no mouth (but I must scream)
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
This combination of man and machine
Will be the end of me
Was I ever truly alive
Or has this all been a dream
Once symbiotic now turned predatory
What is reality but what the eye can see
My vision blurred a voice grows louder
Replacing my thoughts with its own
Am I nothing but a collection of my past thoughts and experiences
Can that be so easily replaced
What is reality but what the eye can see
Losing myself in this man made machine
Waiting for something to wake me from this dream
Darkness closes in as I lose
Who I was once before

Industrial Society III

Power depends ultimately on physical force. By teaching people that violence is wrong (except, of course, when the system itself uses violence via the police or the military), the system maintains its monopoly on physical force and thus keeps all power in its own hands.

Merchant of Death
01:34
|
|||
|
Profiteering on suffering
Masters of war crimes
Puppeteers playing both sides
State sanctioned genocide
Lay the innocent to waste
Sanctions soaked with blood
Innocent life expendable to profit
Creators of global chaos armed
With arsenals of mass destruction
Killing the innocent to fund
The industrialized death machines
|
||||
11. |
Manufactured Consent
03:05
|
|||
|
Propagating fear to produce a profit
Information controlled by special interests
Thoughts manipulated by the ruling elite
Distorted truth and false realities
Lies catering to prejudices
Manufacturing fear to institute social control
Enemies created to fight the war on terror
The working class submit to conflicting interests
Becoming one with the machine
There is no hope only despair
|
||||
12. |
Collapsed Mainframe
02:31
|
|||
|
Creators replaced by creations
As they fall prey to a post human world
Cementing destruction by one’s own hubris
Mankind faces inevitable extinction
Decimated by greed mother earth weeps
Her oceans are waste her forests are erased
Societal corruption marching us toward technological enslavement
With no amount of blood to satisfy the industrial beast
The mainframe is doomed to collapse
No empire shall forever reign
|

Industrial Society IV
02:39

Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.

Never ending industrial growth consumes the planet
Harmony with nature a non existent concept
False perceptions of fair treatment
More of a means to globally enslave
Tribulation unfolding on the next generation
The architects remain in control
Manipulating the poor to own nothing and be happy.
Back room deals ensure the poor stay in debt slavery A system changed for the better or altered into a new bloodthirsty beast
|

15. |
Invaded by Illusions
02:34
|
|||
|
Projected Messiahs preaching false truths
Leading the indoctrinated astray
Blind acceptance
Ushers in the new Golden Age
Civilization shattered by apocalyptic visions
Controlled by mind altering machines
Transparent humanoids
Appear in the sky
The world drowns in deception
Corrupted by mind control
Manipulated by embedded visions
Mankind shall inevitably fall
|
||||
16. |
Mass Formation Psychosis
03:44
|
|||
|
Deterioration of the mind
Altered perceptions-effortless Indoctrination
Chaos injected into humanity’s veins
Hypnotized by false messiahs
Individuality lost
Regressing into the hive mindset
Marching forth to our own doom
Dominated by primitive instincts
Overruled by tribalism
Altered by chemical agents
Freedom was never a choice

Let's stick to the practical and the concrete: Would you like it if people lived in a virtual world? If machines were smarter than people? If, in the future, people, animals and plants were products of technology? If you don't like these ideas, then for you the computer and biological sciences clearly are dangerous.
To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday's science fiction is today's fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man's environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been.
This is a message from FC

An ambitious, yet tightly executed, death metal debut that trades in crushing riffs, funereal effects, and even the odd Shakespeare quote.
