about
In our new track 'Villain', we introduce two characters in our universe who have always been there, but have never had a voice until now. Meet Clara Carne, the Queen of Misanthropy, and her counterpart, [NAME REDACTED], the Devil of the Sect. You would've heard about Clara before, though not by name; she was one of two witnesses and survivor's of the grisly murder detailed in our track "Oxymoron" off of our record "Fear Me". The Devil of the Sect was in play at the same time on that record, playing the role of the silent assistant to "Fear Me" protagonist, Jay. The story told in 'Villain' tells of the aftermath of that record and how the two formed a relationship over the actions they had, or wish they had taken, Clara's struggle between what' she feels is morally right and wrong, and most prominently, love.
This is only a piece of the story.
The reign of flesh and bones is yet to come.
Welcome to the Sect.
lyrics
"I fell in love with the devil and I set him free.
So when we lay in our grave, we rest peacefully.
Pick off my flesh, expose the bone.
Show me the demons that lie beneath.
Every smile has something to hide.
Colourful art thou; with two sets of teeth.
Everything you say is infamous.
Every act is venomous; villainous.
They said ‘trust your head, don’t follow your heart,
‘Cause it will lead you down the wrong path’.
But I followed the devil home,
To the show the skeleton the worst pain he’d ever known.
But my heart had other plans; you see
The look in his eyes broke the hate in me.
In a state of disparity we all long for company.
But is it so wrong to find love in depravity?
Drown me in sin;
Maybe I love the way you take my breath away.
Love blooms from hate;
A phantom will only bring me pain,
(And that's alright)
If love outweighs the hate.
So make me feel alive;
If you make me feel, I'll bring the reign.
(Bury the guilt, bury the pain;
You remind me of God in the devilish ways.)
Survivor’s guilt brought us together.
I found you here with a debt unsettled.
While revenge would give me the sweetest taste,
The taste of your kiss outweighs the pain.
Shakespeare never wrote a love like this.
Heaven can lose an angel; I’m sure I won’t be missed.
We are all villains in the wrong light.
Bury the guilt, bury the pain;
You remind me of God in the devilish of ways.
‘Cause God is gone, and so are we;
He can burn in Hell for abandoning you and me.
Drown me in sin;
Maybe I love the way you take my breath away.
(Love blooms from hate;
A phantom will only bring me pain,
(And that's alright)
If love outweighs the hate.
(So make me feel alive)
If you make me feel, I'll bring the reign.
I fell in love with the devil and I set him free.
So when we lay in our grave, we rest peacefully.
The Devil of the Sect & The Queen of Misanthropy."

I saw the nu-metal tag & instinctively avoided this artist... sometimes it's great to be wrong. If you're like me & remember the early 2000's cringely, don't let that taint your curiosity. Conform is fucking good & different. No mainstream sounding cliches CoughCool

If you can power through the cringe-inducing tryhard lyrics and weebiness, there's some mindless fun to be had here. But while there's a handful of memorable and enjoyable moments, overall it winds up feeling pretty bland & forgettable. Maybe the lowest point in their discography so far. Joel
