Old men send young men to die in a useless war They say the next one will the last Fuck I think they’re right The pain never disappears It comes over and over and over Pull the trigger - No I don’t want to When money talks you have to shut up And cut your tongue, sell it for the best price Silence is your gold Dead in the head You’re dead in the head I am the Homo economicus I have therefore I am I am the Homo economicus Playing with your fears I am the Homo economicus Graves pave me the way I am the Homo economicus Dancing on the red button Too young to die, too old to live Life became a question A path that leads to nowhere Kids dreams in ashes The pain never disappears It comes over and over and over Pull the trigger - No I don’t want to Breathing through cellophane Observed by screens Human made terror planet Never ending sadness Ride the bomb, ride the bomb Ride the H-Bomb Praise it, rise it, ride it

Catch me In the palm of your hands You’ll be The one who understands Thrill me I will choke, I will ran I’ll be The one who cannot can Wandering mind Will it ever find The peace inside At least I tried Find me a trail To the golden vale And if I fail Comes the dream in pale Mother Earth Mother Earth Take me first Mother Earth Let me go down the Unknown path of a stranger So I can face it What it’s like To be a man Mother Earth Mother Earth Take me first Mother Earth Let me go down the Unknown path of a stranger So I can face it What it’s like To be a man I am one but torn into three Never in a thousand years will I be Someone who’s just disguising me Me, me, never free I started from the nowhere To find the everything Leaving it all behind Just to feel anything I’m sorry for what I’ve done Hoping one day I’m no more wrong I sink deeper into the woods Branches break the light show me the way I am one but torn into three Never in a thousand years will I be Someone who is just disguising me Me, me, never free I can Feel your hate Inside me That’s fine Catch me In the palm of your hands You’ll be The one who understands Thrill me I will choke, I will ran I’ll be The one who cannot can Wandering mind Will it ever find The peace inside At least I tried Find me a trail To the golden vale And if I fail Comes the dream in pale Mother Earth Mother Earth Take me first Mother Earth Let me go down the Unknown path of a stranger So I can face it What it’s like To be a man I break through the woods The mountains in front of me My worst enemy It’s getting cold I wanna be home

Sure She does everything for a selfie with God Like, subscribe her soul Even if she doesn’t care anymore She does everything for a selfie with God Like, subscribe her soul Even if she doesn’t care anymore I laugh out loud But no sound comes out Why don’t things add up Even though I’m on the top Cut it off now Your cellphone’s dead Your heart is dead I want my fame I need my fame I want my fame, I need my fame Life’s a game Don’t you lose it Switch you off

Cold nights of distorted memories Trying to forget but even death can’t help it In this house of the dark In this house of the broken All is lost, all is lost Heaven for the twisted Paradise for the sick It’s happening again Every damn night When the evil emerges In its purest form Entering the hall The flesh is brought in Still alive, but far from this world Slaves do everything To satisfy their masters Every second, every teardrop Every hour, every drop of blood Empty minds Empty bodies For what have they done Where is divine right Where is the savior For those lost souls Where is divine right Where is the savior For those lost and rotten souls Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out Now die for me But I did it all Lives wasted for your pleasure Get me out alive, I don’t wanna stay here Get me out alive, they want to end me Get me out alive, don’t you set me free Get me out alive, I plead on my knees Every second, every teardrop Every hour, every drop of blood Empty minds Empty bodies For what have they done Heaven for the twisted Paradise for the sick Where is divine right Where is the savior For those lost souls Where is divine right Where is the savior For those lost and rotten souls Every second, every teardrop Every our, every drop of blood Empty minds Empty bodies For what have they done Cold nights of distorted memories Trying to forget but even death can’t help it In this house of the dark In this house of the broken All is lost, all is lost When angels cry for you

This is our last sunset It’s time to get the words right You should pray for his mercy You should pray for your salvation Clouds gather together And darken the sky The sun is obscured by darkness And the stars have all long gone by Taking back what he once created We had the chance to get the goal right This opportunity is now faded And souls are pushed side by side Horseman break through the heavens No escape, no running Blank eyes looking for the sinners You ask yourself was it all worth Taking back what he once created We had the chance to get the goal right This opportunity is now faded And souls are pushed side by side A short look on the list When thy light assists No one should be missed Blood pumping through their wrists The words were spoken The humans were chosen The gates will open Bodies torn from motion Hallelujah Feelings make way for pure emotions Clouds gather together And darken the sky The sun is obscured by darkness And the stars have all long gone by Taking back what he once created We had the chance to get the goal right This opportunity is now faded When thy holy knights scream This is our last sunset It’s time to get the words right You should pray for his mercy You should pray for your salvation

The kings and queens have lied They pushed it way too far There’s nothing ever to hide I know exactly what you are Come down from your filthy thrown I tear you down I break the crown Stop suppression End depression How can I be free When your voice hunts me We control you Can you stand up straight In front of the holy gates We’re above you Crawling snakes offering the sin Undercover in pure innocence Taking precious soul with their grin Happening as a constant incident Come down from your filthy thrown I tear you down I break the crown Stop suppression End depression We come in many shapes To destroy your greedy reign How foolish Everything has to end Even with my own hands Come and get me Starving Craving For what you owe me Die under His eyes

It was a rainy day when she came into my office A mysterious woman with eyes as black as the night She told me her husband was missing So I finished my second glass of rye and started an investigation Can you see Spirits free Bodies flee Astral me Detective Noir And the Imperfect Circle Well I had a lot of cases like this. The boys grew sick of their girls and left for a drink and then came back after a few days full of regret. But not this time. I interviewed the cities well known hobo Jerry if he knew some things. Coincidentally he knew about a strange meet up at the Morley factory at midnight. And then he told me of gloomy people debating about occult things like levitation of the mind, astral bodies. Later as I looked into a window on the rooftop of the factory building I witnessed a weird scene. Impossible to express with words. With a lightning they disappeared into the night sky. Gone. I never heard from The Lady again, never saw Jerry around. No one believed my story and I started questioning myself. Why can’t I forget the things I’ve seen I recognize their faces on TV Magicians: Politicians with munition on a mission Detective Noir starts an investigation

Where’s the coin Who’s next in line What can you take into your future grave It’s a shame spending time on fame Are you awake or do you break Who is to blame, we never felt the same So they say existence is pain But I never felt a thing I don’t know Where to go The light is haunting me The light is flickering In front of my eyes I see the story I wrote In front of my eyes The end of the road So they say existence is pain But I never felt a thing Out of the body Into the open Peripheral Cortex Where’s the coin Who’s next in line What can you take into your future grave It’s a shame spending time on fame Are you awake or do you break Who is to blame, we never felt the same Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Give yourself some time, to say goodbye Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Will we meet again Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Infiniteness Infiniteness (will it come) Now I know Where to go The light was always there The light kept watching me In front of my eyes I see the story I wrote In front of my eyes I see the end of the road Where’s the coin Who’s next in line Finiteness Never ending Finite Ending never Finiteness One more minute (in your arms) Finite Never ending Finiteness

"It seems a very positive review but this band definitely deserves a trophy, at least in February this release has a place among the best."

TechnicalMusicReview.com
"Peripheral Cortex will make you soil your trousers, guaranteed."

Heavyblogisheavy.com
"From the incredible, musically emblematic cover art from Niark1 to the album’s dizzying sonic journey, every moment spent with God Kaiser Hell inspires greater admiration for what Peripheral Cortex has accomplished. It’s an early highlight from metal in 2020 that should remain a top contender for year-end-lists."

Mainy Doire Blog
"If you think that Sweep Arpeggios can't mix with Saxophone and clean vocal in Death metal music, you should listen this band. It's crazy when Tech Death meets Free Jazz. I couldn't imagine it before, but Peripheral Cortex did it incredibly."

ZwareMetalen.com
"The songwriting is chaotic, but in the good sense of the word. This is almost easy to listen to for something that is so technically structured and that is what makes this release strong. Even a saxophone flies by, but fits perfectly in the puzzle."

time-for-metal.eu
DE: God Kaiser Hell von Peripheral Cortex ist ein starkes Tech Death Album geworden, was sowohl an Necrophagist, aber auch an andere Genregrößen und Wegbegleiter erinnert.
EN: Peripheral Cortex's God Kaiser Hell is a strong Tech Death album, which is reminiscent of both Necrophagist and other genre greats.

MetalInjection.net
"I’d suggest giving this a few spins as there is a lot to digest and it all comes at you with a million twists and turns per song."

Consequence Of Sound Webzine
"This is tech death at it’s very best: harebrained, ecstatic, hyper-limber. Tech death for Peripheral Cortex is a test of creativity that requires chops, not a chops showcase occasionally spiced with creativity, and that difference matters."

Metal1.info
"Fette Grooves, vertracktes Riffing, komplexe Arrangements, diese Truppe muss man hören wollen. Allerdings birgt der (selbstbetitelte) Cacophoic Death Metal des Quartetts jede Menge Potential, sodass sich auch wiederholte Hördurchläufe lohnen, da es stets wieder etwas zu entdecken gibt."
EN: Fat grooves, tricky riffing, complex arrangements, you have to want to hear this group. The quartet's (self-titled) Cacophoic Death Metal has a lot of potential, so repeated listening runs are worthwhile, as there is always something to discover.
