Beneath the howling skies Deep in the dark of night Serenity shattered The bones of a baby doll Cradled, in the mother's womb Ever fading light consumed By the darkness, she's forced to meet alone She walked through darkness The unspoken by her side Soul in transcendence The end is just the beginning In the red velour octagon The fight of white and black (yin and yang) Will rip her down under the constraints of life It goes by many names It travels silently Present in time and space Everywhere at once She walked through darkness The unspoken by her side Soul in transcendence The end is just the beginning She walked through darkness The unspoken by her side
2.
World of void Souls sworn to black Berserker running amok Heart bleeding cold steel The great divide Broken coven Peace no more Blood will be let Fires burning bright Feathers charred, black as night An angel lost to the light The dove cut cold Escaped from the other side Hiding from the floodlights From the get go the hunt is on The reverend roams free Innocence Washed away By colossal rains, The hands of the unspoken Fires burning bright Feathers charred, black as night An angel lost to the light The dove cut cold She shall weep As storm clouds fill the sky Morning star rising Under the banner of blood Nations will tremble, As the wicked rule the earth Soul consumed Eternal funeral pyre Fires burning bright Feathers charred, black as night An angel lost to the light The dove cut cold

The sands of time are running out But we knew it from the start This is no easy win No flip of a coin She's out there somewhere And all we have is a hunch A needle in the haystack Understatement of the century The demonseed with a twisted face A shriek in the night The presence of darkness They’re bound together The presence of darkness Forever and after Stained cloth, a torn picture, rejuvenated memories Time was never on our side Our lady of luck, don't fail us now... She's out there somewhere And all we have is a hunch A needle in the haystack Understatement of the century The demonseed with a twisted face A shriek in the night The presence of darkness They’re bound together The presence of darkness Forever and after Time was never on our side Time was never on our side The demonseed with a twisted face A shriek in the night The presence of darkness They’re bound together The presence of darkness Forever and after

Inner Stigma 05:16
This is the day to realize That my strength lies in my callous soul ANOTHER - Still I see DAY - My path leads GONE - Southbound TO WASTE Lesson to be learned Motherfucker! Once again in this world of piss Sewn mouth screams fall to deaf ears A radiant sky illuminates the path for the blind to follow Stigmatized Sixfold Ten tons of crushing guilt Devouring your soul These five aspects of existence Will help me dig your grave Lesson to be learned
5.
To those who play it for the pussy To those who play it for the dope To those who think street cred is the game We got one thing to say... It's not about Fucking rock'n'roll If the fire flares inside We live through this ride Knee-deep in the mud With burning hearts we live this ride Throughout mind, body and soul Now its time to address what's real Not hide the words in a veil of mystery Those are few who can stand with their backs straight, who stand for what they believe in Doesn't matter if you're hardcore, if you're a metalhead, a punkrocker We all breathe the same air, and our hearts burn for the music With burning hearts we live this ride Throughout mind, body and soul Those are few who can stand with their backs straight, who stand for what they believe in Doesn't matter if you're hardcore, if you're a metalhead, a punkrocker We all breathe the same air, and our hearts burn for the music With burning hearts we live this ride Throughout mind, body and soul

The Wash 03:53
Acts of selfishness stain the perfect world Thought a clean cut, now a dirty tear Corroded girders carry dead weight Bound to break under the strain of time The moment of clarity is upon us in the 11th hour time for the wash Unprepared for the invisible threat Time to play the hand that's dealt The king of diamonds conjures Launders the unpleasant truth away When night will fall The serpents linger on Hiding from the light Slithering silently The moment of clarity is upon us in the 11th hour time for the wash Motherfucker, Hone it clean
7.
Take off your blindfold Let the sun burn your eyes Freedom to pulse in your veins Seize the fucking day! Catch the fire! That burns your soul And take a hold of it Paranoia crawling Like a swarm of locusts Devouring all on it's path The plague upon this land Catch the fire! That burns your soul... And take a hold of it Distant Or so it may seem Refuse Your destiny Unfold The matters unsolved Against The Unknown Catch the fire! That burns your soul... And take a hold of it
8.
I'm sick and tired of the world today The people, the scum of the earth Falling back to reality Failing to realize that the world is ours to take and mold it out way Take a look in the mirror and see are you one with the brainwashed matter? Pathetic, no concerns at all Oncoming, a silent storm Gridlock'd in a surreal state of mind A way out of this world non-existent The awakening Of body and soul Control denied Obsessed by lies Speak your mind Don't hold it back Silence is your only enemy Let loose forces of war Disdain the sycophant media whores Deceptive and so full of hate Listen to your inner self cry The awakening Of body and soul Control denied Obsessed by lies Speak your mind Don't hold it back Silence is your only enemy Illusions swept away Reality left without a trace Demised, the art of emotion Tranquilized, frozen minds never to be thawed The awakening Of body and soul Control denied Obsessed by lies Speak your mind Don't hold it back Silence is your only enemy
9.
Kingdom 04:00
Walking down the path before me Along the way pieces of this life lay Shattered revelations from my past Suffocating what is to come I beg to differ This sole emotion is all I have Built through years of suffering Let the pain flow Exhaustion burns the wake Spirit disease in this kingdom of pain What’s done is done there’s nothing to mourn about it Refuse to rest I beg to differ This sole emotion is all I have Built through years of suffering Let the pain flow Agony the sun in my sky It’s full blossom fades ‘til the point I’m done First in death we’re free of lies Through a universe of confusion I have to wander blind Wander blind This sole emotion is all I have Built through years of suffering Let the pain flow
10.
Get Out 02:32
A confrontation with reality Walking with manmade destiny Shitfaced! A liquid ego boost Filling this bag of bones Godstate An absinthe too much, Eyeballs turn GET OUT! GET OUT! A twister turned loose Stumbling and stomping The ground won't stand still Descend into filth Cro-Mag! One last shot for the road Into this walking venom drain Black out! An absinthe too much, Eyeballs turn GET OUT! GET OUT! A twister turned loose GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET - THE - FUCK - OUT !

about

Trident is a metal/hardcore band originating from Porvoo, Finland. The music style is a mixture of thrash metal, death metal, groove metal and NYHC-style hardcore. The band's active period was between 2006-2009 and a short resurfacing in 2014. This spawned three demos, that all are featured on this compilation album.

Back in the day the band was active and during the build-up got to play around 20 shows. In 2009 the band ran into a creative wall. Aleksi departed in 2008/2009 and Wille joined in on guitars, but after the Inner Stigma demo the will and way was lost. Tuomas (guitars & vocs) continued with Millennia and joined Final Assault on bass a few years later. Jukka (drums) played garage rock with Erwin Preston, before they disbanded and Matias (bass) and Wille (guitars in Trident) went on to form Bob Malmström.

Trident never disbanded, but has not done anything since the 2014 demo and release show. The future will tell if there's something more to give to the realm of hardcore metal.

The album will be released on youtube along with band photos, booklets, leaflets, etc.

On the individual tracks Tuomas (vocs/rhythm guitar), Matias (bass) and ex-guitarist Aleksi talk about the tracks featured on this compilation.
