about

After a weight of emptiness has driven us into despair, consider another possibility for the silence in the Universe; that there is another advanced intelligence out there, but it is so paranoid as to conclude that all other life must be annihilated. It is actually a fairly logical strategy - to kill off any competition before it becomes a threat.

One way of achieving such a policy would be sending out some kind of self-replicating probe across the galaxy with a mission to eradicate all life it encounters. We do not observe any evidence of life because ‘they’ got to it first. And eventually they will find us too. Sweet dreams.

lyrics

What would be the action of a superpredator?
Manifest in self interest when faced with the unknown

Logical conclusion for an apex mind
Self-replicating engine of death - sent forth

Scanning for life, a next target
Eliminating threat
Cosmic deadly probe

One can never know the alien-tellect
Rule of the strong, will to survive, the prime directive
Relentless myrmidon, artificially adept
Programmed to seek an end, mobile holocaust

Monsterworks London, UK

MONSTERWORKS : has unashamedly stolen from a ludicrous number of metal sub-genres to create a truly unique beast. Be it thrash, death, old-school, prog or black metal, there is something for everyone. Expect wailing guitars, wailing screams and a pounding rhythm section, delivered by a four-man war of sound. Surely they can’t be serious? ... more

Deliverance from the Godless Void
by Desolate Shrine

supported by 8 fans who also own “Cosmic Deadly Probe”

The fourth album by Desolate Shrine is all about atmosphere. It has an atmosphere that reminds me of Gorguts Colored Sands or even a Deathspell Omega album. It’s got that dissonance of a later Immolation album with all of the eerie sounds. Pretty amazing blackened Death Metal. This band does not ever disappoint or put out anything bad. onorato73

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 7 fans who also own “Cosmic Deadly Probe”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
