Austin Hornbeck A fantastic progressive thrash/power metal album. Great to see a progressive metal album with actual progressive values.

Alicia's guitar parts continue to evolve and progress, bu her distinct tone and obvious flourishes stand out. Patrick as always has a powerful voice that carries melody and vocal hooks. Leona is a great addition who provides a masterclass in elegant bass work. Overall a fantastic record.

Mark Doubt HOLY SHIT THESE FUCKING RIFFS! This really reminds me of everything I love about bands like Maiden, but a bit heavier & rougher (in all the best ways).

Boundless 05:02
Pushed into a frame Forced to break your shape Defying what’s within Please don’t hide away Despite the hearts of stone Come alive at last Boundless—you are who you are (You are boundless) So never you mind The hate of the blind and the false Thoughtless—are words of the weak (They are thoughtless) But you will overcome And show the true strength of your pride Dying to be heard Your beauty is not lost In this false dichotomy Denial of the truth of who we should become Just screaming to be seen Boundless—you are who you are (You are boundless) So never you mind The hate of the blind and the false Thoughtless—are words of the weak (They are thoughtless) But you will overcome And show the true strength of your pride Tear apart their sick traditions Rip away their broken system Defy the odds set against you Rise anew amidst your own truth Boundless—you are who you are (You are boundless) So never you mind The hate of the blind and the false Thoughtless—are words of the weak (They are thoughtless) But you will overcome And show the true strength of your pride

Crashing down at overwhelming speeds They’re just dead ghosts in the machine No need to explain the false intention The meaning’s lost the world’s at war Destiny is a lie Fate spreads like disease Climb the price tag higher and step on poverty So far and so wide Too little too late Full-throttle in fear Just pressing on hate Where can we run When the road paved in blood Where can we run When one vote creates the flood It never seems to occur to those that lead Their immense lack of basic humanity Just follow the swine and honor the line As long as their pocket’s full we’re gonna be just fine The faith in printed paper a bailout if you please A bailout’s all we need Their solution is so easy When it’s our blood that they bleed So long as that blood’s green So far and so wide Too little too late Full-throttle in fear Just pressing on hate Where can we run When corporations can’t be judged Where can we run When institutions hold the gun Fallacy is their crime And fear is what they need They want you on your knees To be a slave unto the numbers Across your checks and screens With no more clarity So far and so wide Too little too late Full-throttle in fear Just pressing on hate Where can we run When the road paved in blood Where can we run When one vote creates the flood Follow the Swine Honor the Line

Kyromid 06:04
The ancient ones from beyond Placed fourth life bearing from the sun No hesitation in the chosen one From this life we should not run Infantile and fruitful Bearing life to teach Potential to reach beyond their simple dreams From beyond the starlight Descending from the clouds Kyromid is falling Kyromid astounds Full of secrets bearing knowledge Succession of the minds Chosen children of this structure from the skies One true temple, one true rapture in disguise Invalid limitations, built by Martian minds Underneath the dust, away from prying eyes Hidden from unworthy dark corrupted signs Misusing knowledge from the sun These creatures know not what they’ve done No mediation saves the chosen one And where there’s dark the evil’s spun Subverted and disdainful, suborning our embrace Exploting all the lessons we tried to teach Back to the stars in twilight Ascending from the sands Kyromid is rising Kyromid commands Deemed unworthy to bear witness By all their green and lies Disgraced children of a planet left to die We are left behind There’s one new temple, one blue marble in design Beyond limitations, open human minds In the golden dust, under bright blue skies This is where we’ll hide our secrets safe disguised Infantile and fruitful Bearing life to teach Potential to reach beyond their simple dreams From beyond the starlight Descending from the clouds Kyromid is falling Kyromid astounds Full of secrets bearing knowledge Succession of the minds Chosen children of this structure from the skies

Profiteering on the sickness Profiteering on your death Making money on suffering Laying the masses to rest Line your pockets with our blood Is weakness lack of persevering We’re all asleep to your slaughter Here’s the bill for living Despite your efforts Despite your life Despite any loyalty And despite your strife You won’t find justice You won’t find relief You won’t find healing Death as belief Ensuring our destruction Ensuring our own end Technological advances For a monetary win No humanitarian No altruistic contributions We’re all sheep to the slaughter Here’s the bill for dying Despite your efforts Despite your life Despite any loyalty And despite your strife You won’t find justice You won’t find relief You won’t find healing Death as belief

Always the lives are on display The doors are closed and the curtain set to fall A stage for few, the minds aren't fit Whoever really thought it would amount to this When the curtain calls Will we see the fall Another spirit drowned Among a dying crowd There is no feel There is no real There is no time And there's never any prize The view is ever changing Your sights were set so high Everything you had hoped to do has now been lost in time Subject to dominion We're slaves unto opinions Consistently confusing No emotions left worth using There's visions of tomorrow Dreams from yesterday And we all play our part in the Theater of Sorrow When the ashes fall Will we care at all Another spirit drowned Among a dying crowd There is no feel There is no real There is no time And there's never any prize The words we’re never speaking The sights to which we’re blind Everything you thought you knew has now been lost inside Subject to dominion Slave unto opinions Consistently confusing No emotions left worth using There's visions of tomorrow Dreams from yesterday And we all play our part in the Theater of Sorrow Timers set, a break-down for another day Having broken down so easily Your condition must be fleeting Against the complex life you're leading The view is ever changing Your sights were set so high Everything you had hoped to do has now been lost in time Subject to dominion Slave unto opinions Consistently confusing No emotions left worth using There's visions of tomorrow Dreams from yesterday And we all play our part in the Theater of Sorrow Remember that we paved this path Remember when we used to laugh Forget the sin, forget the prayer Forget to sleep, we're beyond repair

Longing for release So burdened by that sleep One-Hundred thousand souls it takes Again her heart does beat Anomaly at hand No knowledge of their plan This burden and their thoughts Emotions surge revenge is sought Hearing their cries The Saturn-god rise Gaining momentum Saturnus, the light Awaken! Augmentum! The universe lies In the palm of her hands The order must die The segment of subtraction, in multiple reactions Their Infinite solutions for their mindful dissolution The figment of space, the lie behind time Removing the veil with only echoes left behind Hearing their cries The Saturn-god rise Gaining momentum Saturnus, the light Awaken! Augmentum! The universe lies In the palm of her hands The order must die Does this hive recall Its self-imposed surrender Plagued by the greatest sorrow Of sacrifice and cinder A dawn, a new day Just one night needed to repay Her sleeping children break the chains By incantations of the clay Hearing their cries The Saturn-god rise Gaining momentum Saturnus, the light Awaken! Augmentum! The universe lies In the palm of her hands The order must die

Resound the alarm With nowhere to run Our world maintains denial The cloak of generational slaves No hope on the dawn The reckoning has come We wear such bitter smiles The sun will rise to burn us away We cannot be saved We have been betrayed They tell us only what they want us to believe Their lies become our lives: “No questioning authority.” Foundational inequity conceals their greed Like light shown to the blind, not seeing forests for the trees Though we are many, we are all alone Martyrs for a cause affecting nothing for ourselves Each step taken leads us farther from home Buying into self-destruction as we die to sell Out of sight, we are out of our minds By design, we are pearls before swine We're swallowed by the water searching for dry land And when we're coming up for air, they shout, “Again! Again!” We've pulled the shortest straw against them, just as planned The aces always up their sleeves; the line drawn in the sand The road less traveled is privately owned Post no trespassing to tolerate the human race Through the eye of the needle we are thrown Corpses piling high enough to ease our fall from grace Out of sight, we are out of our minds By design, we are pearls before swine Take all we love, we will wither to black Take all we lost, we can never fight back Take all our minds, we become maniacs Take all our souls, we fulfill what they lack I can read the signs Pointing to a sky we cannot reach We are left behind On this pale blue dot we cease to be Free! We only need to be free! But the prison walls are closing in Free! We only need to be free! But we cannot break these chains within Free! We only need to be free! But we poisoned our own wells for them Free! We only need to be free! But the truth behind the lies is we can't win

It sought tomorrow in my dreams I do believe Tales deep in madness All we hear are silent screams They won’t save this world They manipulate its grey Pictures Why are all these pictures inside Constantly corrupting my mind Opening the doorways to mine But Have I? I feel I’ve seen it before But right now I can’t quite decide We are the Project: Roenwolfe We are the Project: Roenwolfe Personified by darkness Embellished by your greed Its own intentions planted, more firmly you can see No more second chances For we are the project that will watch them bleed It heard the sorrow in my screams it was conceived Bonds formed from madness All we see are metric screens They’re false in control It’s time to free the cage Too late to pull those triggers They gave this sight to me Honing Independence, a rapture at my feet Disintegrate their senses, Intelligence in difference Slowly fade away, see those sciences betray Personified by darkness Embellished by your greed Its own intentions planted, more firmly you can see No more second chances For we are the project that will watch them bleed Deep within, deep without consciousness Intertwined amidst the dream’s enablement We are the Project: Roenwolfe We are the Project: Roenwolfe Listen to the cries, all the times I’ve tried The life they stripped away, a result of lies The power that they gave, the power that I take Burnt into their eyes, right before they die Personified by darkness Embellished by your greed Its own intentions planted, more firmly you can see No more second chances For we are the project that will watch them bleed

‘Boundless’ is a transgender empowerment and liberation anthem.

‘Honor the Line’ is about how capitalism sacrifices life for the sake of profit.

‘Kyromid’ is an original sci-fi story by Patrick and Ernie about an ancient spaceship.

‘Pre-Existential Crisis’ is about the dystopian state of healthcare in the United States.

‘Theater of Sorrow’ is an allegory for how laboring under capitalism destroys personal dreams and quality of life and a spiritual sequel to ‘Trader of Pain’ from our first album ‘Neverwhere Dreamscape’

‘Saturnus Augmentum’ is part III in our original Sci-Fi story ‘The Saturn Saga’ and the direct sequel to ‘Edge of Saturn’ from our titular second album.

‘Pearls Before Swine’ is about the bleak nature of living under capitalism and fascism and the hopelessness humanity is facing. The song also speaks to the beauty of life that is destroyed by these violent systems.

‘Project: Roenwolfe’ is an original Sci-Fi concept by Patrick that he originally derived the band name from.
