lyrics

there was an old and high grown tree
hung with fruits of glas and metal
and around it waiting for a piece
a crowd of mindless cattle
thousand miles and more they've wandered
to fetch one of those shiny fruits
forgot to eat! forgot to drink!
only thinking of their loot

walking on a path of ignorance
shattered hopes beneath their feet
following this hollow trail
chasing their desire for those rotten
seeds

keep on selling him your mind
keep on kneeling to his rules 2x

-----------CHORUS-----------
stunned by the sparkling surface
they've forgotten who they are
the spell of their precious treasure
fills the dark void in their hearts
-------------------------

keep on selling him your mind
keep on kneeling to his rules 2x

yet their master is already dead
they still sacrifice unto his head
the trade facts for the bliss of faith
and reason for its mindcontrol
drenched in euphoria they ignore
that those fruits were made of blood
were made of crushed dreams and of
tears
they keep worshippin' their god

they are happy to be blind
they are happy to be tools
they are happy to be blind
even happy to be tools!

suffocate!

still the tree keeps on growing
leading its rotten fellowship
straight at the edge of the abyss
on this psychopathic trip

CHORUS

keep on selling him your mind
keep on selling him your soul
suffocate on rotten seeds 3x

Emptiness fills The Void
by Stortregn

supported by 11 fans who also own “Rotten Seeds”

Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

Do not let the somewhat uninspiring cover fool you! this is some killer black / death metal. The riffs are amazing, as are the vocals. Getting the Non Serviam Records discography is one of the best things I have done this year! bmurator

Where Hatred Dwells And Darkness Reigns
by Zornheym

supported by 9 fans who also own “Rotten Seeds”

Fantasque & Fantastique ! I love RandomWalk. I cannot think of any other group sounding like them. The closest you could get is a combination of Divercia, Oceans of Sadness, Mercenary and fresh garlic. Well, while randomly starting the album, I envisioned an extreme version of RandomWalk, and my heart beat faster. I drink decaf' coffee. Zornheym may not know any of the cited groups. Like them, they created a unique flavour of metal. unidual
