johncarrjr This band brings me back to old school thrash, but with good melodies and lyrics you can understand. Reminds me of old Megadeth with some Kill em All era Metallica thrown in.
Favorite track: War Never Changes.

Tom's Reviews Every thing about this album screams old school thrash, and the Bay Area influences are definitely present in what Mortalis does. I can hear early era James Hetfield in some vocal parts, and the riffs have the same feel as some of those early thrash bands. This is a solid first album from this young band, and I look forward to what they come up with on their next record 🤘 Favorite track: Say What You Mean.

[Verse 1] They play again in my head All the lies that you said Bullshit reaks from your goddamn lips I shall have your head You call yourself a brother Brothers have your back Instead you went with another And stabbed us in the back [Chorus] The path you chose, the highs and lows Betrayal marks your head Lash or lynch, whatever which Better you be dead [Verse 2] Forbidden to thy name Bare the mark of shame Casted out like a dog on the streets You're only to blame We took you in as a brother Brothers till the end Ride or die, there's no other Till we meet again [Chorus] The path you chose, the highs and lows Betrayal marks your head Lash or lynch, whatever which Better you be dead [Verse 3] Wander all night long Wanting to belong Digging deep drive into your soul Life's meaning is gone Once among your brothers Shared a single name Waste away like the others Bare the mark of shame [Chorus] The path you chose, the highs and lows Betrayal marks your head Lash or lynch, whatever which Better you be dead

[Verse 1] Power through, must grit through the pain how much can I take make it go away Walk by, turn a blind eye(side-eye), they have nothing to say Void the sounds, divert from the crowds their voices grow loud, make it go away Give in, patience grows thin(listen) soon I will make them pay [Pre-chorus] Speak out, shout out Let rage spill out Take hatred out Let's hear you shout I’m done, no more, I can’t take it Darkness, anger, bottomless pit All sense of life they've stripped away Unleash mayhem, today's the day [Chorus] Say what you mean Mean what you say Say what you mean Mean what you say [Verse 2] Powerful, adrenaline rage, nobody is safe try to run away Hide-n-seek, the tables have turned(my turn) Picking off all my prey Realize, they've brought their demise The look in their eyes, lack of empathy Too late, it can't be undone(it's done), fuck your apology [Pre-chorus] Speak out, shout out Let rage spill out Take hatred out Let's hear you shout Pushed to the edge all I see red Can't stop, won't stop, until they're dead Victim of life, unfair to me Victor born of society [Chorus] Say what you mean Mean what you say Say what you mean Mean what you say [Chorus] Say what you mean Mean what you say Say what you mean Mean what you say

[Verse 1] Lead and metal, crash to the ground Pain and sorrow, destruction all around Napalm death rains from the sky, fire in its wake, all left to die Seas of blood fill the green pasture All in the name for the one true master Cracks and shout echo through the night, children scream, fighting for their lives [Chorus] It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain War never changes For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain War never changes [Verse 2] Bound by blood, faith in friendship, Let them die in the name of kinship Boots planted on the ground Focused to kill soldiers all around Now the bullets begin to die down, blood of man, contaminates the ground Cracks and shouts, echo through the mind Tranquility, stripped from mankind [Chorus] It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain War never changes For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain War never changes [Chorus] It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain War never changes For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain War never changes

Killshot 06:35
[Verse 1] Crossing the limits beyond intentions Taking an innocent life Sun in my eyes with a flash of hot light Burning engraved in my mind Taking on justice into my own hands Gotta come up with a plan Forcing my vengeance will be my demand Exiled by death from this land [Chorus] Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide Killshot, killshot A pull of the trigger End of your life [Verse 2] Mind lost in chaos, I've got to decide Settle and swallow my pride Sins aren't forgotten, and blood must have blood Punishment must fit the crime Chamber the bullet, full conviction Murder should settle my pride Taking the life of the one who took mine Justice will be brought to light [Chorus] Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide Killshot, killshot A pull of the trigger End of your life [Breakdown] Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die Don't do it, must do it, live or die, Now you die [Verse 3] Break through the door knock your face to the floor Stomping your skull to the core Fists in full grip, watch the blood from you drip Enjoying the pain in your eyes Holding cold steel with the feeling to kill Murder will be my delight Trembling hand struggles to the sights Fighting to find what is right [Chorus] Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide Killshot, killshot A pull of the trigger End of your life
