The maw from which these fiends were born Has left the earth asunder torn Approach en masse half decomposed A symphony of sickly moans They seek to eat your organs raw Intestines, liver, heart they gnaw Each bit of you a morsel fine Their favorite feast on which to dine Their appetite now that they've died Will not ever be satisfied They'll come forever locked in death To steal and taste your dying breath Here they come Where can we go? Can't hide we have to Run, we run But at each step every turn There they are Down each street and alleyway we learn that No, nowhere Is safe. What can we do where do we Go? Just go! Don't succumb to the despair! Oh God! They're on us now, they're everywhere They sprang from our most twisted dreams These fearless undead machines On the march to find us out Of this there is no doubt we have to Run, we run But at each step every turn There they are Down each street and alleyway we learn that No, nowhere Is safe. What can we do where do we Go? Just go! Don't stop! The peal of our death knell All for what it's worth When there's no more room in Hell The dead will walk the Earth

Run! Flee in abject terror From all those that you once cared for Mother, neighbor, roommate, friend All of them have met their end Nothing now but lifeless eyes That see you as their tasty prize Hands that once gave love's caress Will pull you down to certain death All the joy that you remember You'll forget as they dismember Feasting on your life so precious They find your entrails delicious A well placed bullet A sharpened stick When cranium collides with brick A three wood club A baseball bat Making zombie skulls go "splat!" They have no fear they're coming straight for you To taste your flesh there's nothing they won't do They'll never stop because they feel no pain You must remove the head or destroy the brain Ripping! Shredding! Tearing flesh away The only thing around you is the stench of their decay They'll drain the marrow from your bones And then make you a mindless drone Rotten fingers rake your face Humanity's great fall from grace They'll turn your body inside out And savor every scream and shout To eat your brain hear comes the flood To drag you down and drink your blood For the essence of life they thirst This is truly Hell on Earth Stay inside Lock your doors This world you knew is no more Will you fight? Or run away? Or be the undead's buffet? They have no fear they're coming straight for you To taste your flesh there's nothing they won't do They'll never stop because they feel no pain You must remove the head or destroy the brain They stalk the night For one to bite They'll be here soon To spell your doom Now come to life your worst nightmare You can't escape their vacant stare The look that bores into your soul Continues as they eat you whole Hunger drives this deadly horde As they propel you toward a Fate that's so much worse than death You cannot comprehend What it's like to have no mind Humanity is left behind Fight them off with all your might Or you will not survive this night Persevere Stay alive Do all you can to survive Fortify And defend Man up now or it's the end They have no fear they're coming straight for you To taste your flesh there's nothing they won't do They'll never stop because they feel no pain You must remove the head or destroy the brain They have no fear they're coming straight for you To taste your flesh there's nothing they won't do They'll never stop because they feel no pain You must remove the head or destroy the brain

This Hell where man feeds on his brother Hunted now we run for cover As prey we pray for it to end But the dead to not have wills to bend Of flesh they were now flesh they crave No one's coming, we won't be saved They're everywhere, there's no escape We carry on, deny our fate Yet despite how hard we try The end is extremely fucking nigh Now we face man's greatest trial Confronted by death's sickly smile The truth with which we cannot cope We search but find there is no hope Lost Doomed Trapped upon this Earth our tomb Search in vain for answers, why? Struggle just to wait to die? Everything we had is gone Where life once was there now is none They should have died when sickness spread But they came back for us instead This living death that stalks our home Is all that's here. We are alone. Where to go? Where to be? Where can we find sanctuary? Squaring off against this test We lost, we fell now we regress Now we face man's greatest trial Confronted by death's sickly smile The truth with which we cannot cope We search but find there is no hope Lost Doomed Trapped upon this Earth our tomb Search in vain for answers, why? Struggle just to wait to die? What's left of us is scattered wide We cannot win, we run, we hide We lost control there's nothing left Of a will to fight and strength, bereft Return to ash from whence we came Life and death: one in the same Haunted by the mangled cries It is now we realize After all is done, and all is said With a heavy heart full of dread IT'S WE THAT ARE THE WALKING DEAD! We have failed our greatest trial Face extinction's sickly smile The truth with which we cannot cope All is gone there is no hope Lost Doomed Trapped upon this Earth, our tomb Huddle close and wonder why In fading life we wait to die

about

Walking dead everywhere. Surrounded. Outnumbered. Hopeless.

That's what this album should sound like. That is, if it all came screaming at you out of your Nintendo. After more than two years of blood, sweat, tears, and more blood, They Came From Beneath is a reality. Death metal that conforms (for the most part) to NES hardware limitations for chiptune glory. I can't say much else about this album that isn't already said in the track descriptions, but I'm glad it's finally done and ready for people to enjoy.

I can't thank everyone that helped me with this endeavor enough, but the list will help:
My wife, for giving me the drive to make more music and putting up with the bleeps, bloops and blastbeats I made her listen to. Norrin_Radd for his chiptune tutorial, his samples, his creativity and Anomaly. Bit_Rat for his style, his contribution and his concept album awesomeness. Travis Morgan for his motivation, his feedback, his ideas, and Sunken Colony. VikingGuitar for Death Slam and his hyper-metal albums. The Rocking Dead for their excellent vocal skills (Travis, Viking, TBoG, Rubber, and Satanplate; thanks to Battlerager for the name). Nate Horsfal (FoxxDragon) for his incredible artwork. Justin Tully for loaning me a microphone and letting me hijack his kitchen for the first round of vocals. Rushjet1 for creating RJDMC. Jace for Prizmatic Spray and Sky Burial. JMR for running Open Circuit on Arecibo Radio and playing a few preview tracks for me. I swear that if I forgot anyone I will add you, there's just so many people that helped me!

And everyone else that inspired this album in so many ways:
George Romero, Robert Kirkman, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, The Black Dahlia Murder, Deceased, Arch Enemy, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, At The Gates, Iced Earth, Bun Bun, H. Maezawa, Capcom, Konami, Valve, Twilight Creations Inc., Castlevania, The Faceless, Garth Ennis, In Thy Dreams, Slayer, Danny Boyle, Sam Raimi, Max Brooks and every other band or zombie-related piece of media that gave me the fuel to stir my creative juices.
