Dependence Everyone see She’s claimed my allegiance So speak She’s a weakness? Stained? She comes with the answers Heaven is her pass of waste Heaven in her bones And these are only things All my days just to draw the hands of Of her sacred form My opened heart has reached to feed the ways of wyrms But these feet Crave Release She’s claimed me And all my worlds But I am alone Bliss

Air 03:15
I form as falling sand across the desert with the wind / But I'm in my guise I form as storming hands beneath the heavens with the wind / But I'm in my guise I am infinitus vox / I brought decay upon the wind / Send the meek to meet me My creed / My calling / Within / I have entered through tears and sweat By my words evolve / With vigilance recalibrate the stars I am infinitus vox / I brought decay upon the wind I am as beast / I let the battle begin / I brought decay upon the wind And vanished

Missile 01:43
Fire is birth / Demon seek no more / You're about to move forward For you have been chosen / You're a soldier of God Incandescent overlord / Can you taste the power? Best we forget love / Higher education leads nowhere / Liberate the Djinn He sleeps beneath the pathways of the brain / Enslaved by words Worm / Release me from this curse / This ceaseless slumber /They're only words / Release me Symbiote soldier / So cancerous / Feast on the populous / Leave the diseased No future is safe from us / Evolved / Invincible I Fire is birth / So say the immolated

Defence 02:27
Hostage / Say what you want / Your captives have forever been lost Their kingdom is freezing / Their kingdom is frozen Follow them? / Be the victim of their God / Crucified by his order / Obedient / Learned We just need blood / We just need free flow gore on the walls Some more Armageddon for the bastard martyr Murderers / Have patience / Keep to shadows / Await the return / Defend the word Invert the ritual / Invade the herd / Convert the equal Infiltrate the glorious God Murderer / My favourite sun / Be bold for me / Here and after Let my body forever burn / Blessed never awaits Let my body forever burn / Give me solace

Battle 07:31
Born against no-one / We can see them They have made a war against the wand / But we can see their hand Facing forward / No god prevents my gun / No law negates my love I'd kill them all for you my son / No life / No compromise Look at the bold pleading ignorance / It wasn't us / It was the prophecy we had been sold These hands / These feeble hands contain no traces / No traces of blood Weak men speak deliverance / Arrghhh / Let them pray to the feet of their gods Let them be kings / Let them be things / Let them be played / Forgotten Lost to the process of holocaust Today we forget the world / Today we turn our heads from the west We Breathe / Dependence was a wound long formed / But lost In turn / All the wisdom we seek shall be sent to the sun / OUR SUN! They walk through the cemetery / Hand by hand they trace circles on the graves of their enemies Where blood once stained their fingertips / Now only blisters remain With an eloquent sigh / They turn their heads back to the west If this is the end / Let's be remembered No voice can relieve us the beaten word / Turn it sideways and bend So the weak can save the world This is the end / Let's be remembered / Kill the void with the beast In my dreams / I murdered the sentry / I'm already there Raping the blessed / Consuming the damned The deaf heard a song / Her words were the death of worlds So let's weep along / Their kingdom is gone There for you my son / They can sleep / But never wake to see the dawning of your love Caught underneath the embers / Here they lay where we were born Underneath the embers / Forever more Caught underneath the embers / In the end they perform Underneath the embers / Where they belong

Lab 06:40
This night / This sky will see none greater fall This night / In sight of all / The king was never born / Fiction One constant state above the plague beneath the stairs His race at best / His best couldn't stand for a war / So bled on their knees Weak / Unclean / Never to wash / These are the words of a sentimental form Ignorant horde / Sinking Spiralling towards the emptiness / Singing to irrelevant gods Their kingdom never was / Existent These are the words of the great ascendant / Sing King The bitter denunciate / Forever awaits Your kingdom never was / Existent Forever takes its toll / The future holds you beneath the written word Let never drape the world in it's beautiful bleakness This abomination / Weak and devolved One contaminated host / Delivered with a bit of old fashioned control Might as well forget us / Life is irrelevant No time for regret / Might as well forget us Our kingdom never was

about

UMBILICAL DYSTROPHY
Umbilical Dystrophy is a crazy bastard child and a standalone single that did not want to fit or play along with any other songs. It was written for our new album, but as the album grew in one direction, it became clear Umbilical wanted no part in it. So enjoy...

Line-up:
BB - Guitars / Bass / Synths / Samples
DP - Drums
AZ - Vocals

Drums, bass and vocals tracked at DP Studios.
Guitars tracked at Cygnus Studios.
Mixed and Mastered by Troy Mccosker.

AIR MISSILE DEFENSE BATTLE LAB
So we have decided to release the recordings we had for an EP that was written with pre-production recorded prior to the completion of our album Xen [2012]. This EP was the planned follow-up to Xen before Adam took leave from the band. It seemed going back to this material would feel like a backwards step, seeing as our new album is leaps and bounds again beyond what is on offer here. But myself and Adam felt that these pre-production sessions captured the magic of these songs and the message therein, we feel this material was purely inspired and we are very proud of what we had created. So what you have here is the last mixes we had as the sessions were lost years ago on an old hard drive. We have mastered and cleaned up as much as we could manage with the help of Troy Mccosker (www.facebook.com/troyaudioninja). We hope you enjoy this piece of AMDBL history and what is arguably our most personal and darkest material to date.
