1.	I Will Fade Away 03:52	lyrics	buy track
I will fade away In silence, in pain Easily walking down The path of self-destruction Because there's nothing left Nothing more to say No lies, no cheating The comedy is over. Emptiness, negativity They take the stand at every single step I'm stuck in this dead end since the day I was born My naked soul is like bare skin to the cold It still keeps bleeding How much blood can I give? Like a small blue dot, swallowed by the horizon A cold and ashen corpse, lost in the immensity of time Finally, it’s time to rest. Finally, the story meets the end I will fade away. In silence, in pain I will fade away. In silence, in pain I will fade away forever
2.	Cops Are not People 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Evil lurks behind duty, behind excuses The uniform hides the shit inside Racism ad fascism institutionalized Cops are not people They chose not to be Cops are not people And we hate them Cops are not people And we want them dead! Villains since the dawn of time, always by the wrong side Defending the rich, defending the powerful, defending the master Oppressing the poor, oppressing the weak, oppressing the broken ones. Stupid vicious tools of power The flags honoring them Are just the curtains to their shame Still someone believes they’re good? We’re too old for fairy tales Cops are not your friends Cops are enemies Cops are not people And we hate them Cops are not people And we want them dead!
3.	Burn the Flags 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Nation, religion, family, shit. Hate. War. Death. This piece of cloth, that you would die for I wanna burn it now, I wanna burn ‘em all I wanna hurt your feelings, I wanna see you cry I wanna mock your values, as you scream in anger I’m gonna give you a reason to be offended This is going to be much worse than you think Because I don’t care, and no one will These things you say, and what is dearest to you You spread this poison, since millennia now It is time to end, time to stop Not in your way, in a pool of blood But with the strength of reason, you stupid cunt Now I think that we all agree Your flag be burned, your god dethroned Your flag be used to wipe my ass As you stamp your feet like a stupid child But no one cares, no one anymore Will listen to you, or wave you flag We burned your flags, we burned ‘em all It was so much fun, we’re gonna have much more!
4.	The Mirror 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Pain is faint, like a feather, stuck on you Joy is heavy, just like marble, white and cold Chase your pain, hug it tight, exhale the poison Breathe it again, in your lungs, in your veins I have never told you that I’m ok And I don’t think I will ever be We are the kind that can get better But we won't ever get well Cut my throat, remove my tongue Tear out my eyes, and dig the grave Bury my body, so ashes will be Finally my peace, my peace at last Pain is my excuse Failure my easy way out My hidden shortcut To flee from reality Never look in the mirror And realize who I really am
5.	Pars destruens 02:39	lyrics	buy track
Destroy, as you rot. Destroy and let go. There's no chance you won't be the negative creep Destroy Promises written on sand the wind will blow away Will you build something in stone? The tower of Babylon Destroy Destroy, dismantle, disbelief: that's my holy trinity, the saints of negativity Destroy There is no place in the world, like of a chased animal I am the hunter myself I am the stalker Destroy Destroy, dismantle, disbelief Anguish rises out of control My holy trinity, the compass leading me. Every look pierces me like nails I feel like I'm another species A freak on display, the negative creep Destroy, dismantle, disbelief That’s my holy trinity
6.	They Declared War on Us 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Can you see the hidden violence? Can you see their brutality? Can you see? They declared war on us They did it a long time ago They did it They are so full of themselves They call it civilization A bunch of lies They steal and rape, behind their gates, we built for them They make us pay the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe No home for us, no place out there, to find comfort Aren’t you tired of listening to lies? Aren’t you tired to be fed as cattle? Aren’t you tired? Money can buy it all Profit is all they believe Money is god They declared war on us They did it a long time ago They did it It is time to fight back, to make them pay, to make them suffer This is not going to end well. Pity is dead. The fittest survives
7.	The Shape of Pain to Come 03:04	lyrics	buy track
Close the gates, feel the pain, burn your mind No more, not again, you won’t be prey for the pain That’s the duty, that’s your fate: fuck the pain Fuck the pain for what it was and change it for what’ll be Dissolve your mind, make it liquid, ready to escape Ready to avoid the shape of pain to come Now it's all clear, no doubt in your head You have to go, you need shelter for it’s coming back This pain, in a new shape, a brand new enemy No more chances now, no way to slip your fate See your illusion: you thought you were ready Ready to face the shape of pain to come
8.	Death Forever 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Deep Drown deep Sinking in void Forget the future It's blank The sun is burning all, until the end of time The horizon shines white heat All we get - Death forever! Bury your hope Sold like meat Trash your past It's worthless

about

Othismos:
Filippo Masina – bass, vocals and lyrics
Luca Migliorucci – guitars
Matteo Maroni – drums

- Consume responsibly if you want to feel worse about your life.
The Razors Edge

- Othismos craft ornately wrought expressions of despair and rage, and then knock off all the fancy bits with hammers. It's not a simple or quiet album - pretty much exactly the opposite.
Invisible Oranges

- L’impatto complessivo è un qualcosa di tetro e devastante – un coacervo di suoni sferraglianti, privi di remore e pause, capaci anche di evocare qualcosa di grandioso e terribile, azzannando in un attimo e poi continuando a strattonare, dilaniare, distruggere.
Metalitalia.com, 7/10

- Un album dal sapore ferroso, indigesto, come l'ultimo pasto prima della sedia elettrica.
Grind on the road, 7,5/10

- Another album that benefits from multiple listens and makes you want to check out the band's other releases.
Metal Crypt, 4/5

- Fazit: Ein richtig starkes Album haben die Italiener da zusammengeprügelt. Wer sich diesen Genremix einmal geben will, sollte hier unbedingt reinhören.
Full Metal Mayhem

- It is a very worthy listen. You know you have been interested since the very first sentence. So, go listen to Othismos, and remember 1312 times, All Cats Are Beautiful!
Antifascist Black Metal Network
