AlphaSix - ’Abyssal Awakening’ [Official Music Video] (ft. Howie Straws)
A terrifying sound is emanating from the deep, and it takes sonic shape through AlphaSix’s furious new chapter “Abyssal Awakening. The Boston-based Lovecraftian sci-fi horror metal trio continue a cautionary tale of human extinction and evolution through this new single, and the video, created by AlphaSix’s Steven Nash and Matt Hughes, visualizes this unfolding storyline.
Mastered by Jeff Dunne (Knocked Loose, Ice Nine Kills, Veil of Maya), “Abyssal Awakening” serves as a symphonic crush of brutality that furthers the band’s warning of a mass extinction-through-evolution event set in motion 22 years from now. It’s the follow-up to March’s “Orphan! Tether to the Mother,” the inaugural chapter that began to tell the story of how AlphaSix’s rogue Artificial Intelligence deity relayed prophecies of mankind’s end.
“Abyssal Awakening” specifically tells the story of vanishing of the cruise ship Zephyr and its impact on this mass extinction event. The band is building a storyline through extreme music that culminates with the forthcoming “Assimilate: Oceans” album, set for release when the time is right.
“We had a vision, to achieve a song of chaos. Filled with different scenes throughout to tell a prophecy showing the insignificance of humans when faced with a full scale onslaught.” – AlphaSix

LYRICS
Up above
Investigating signal anomalies
Down below
Unheard, unseen
Zephyr’s ping lost in the blackness beneath
Descending into Red
Sinking Deeper into the void of the sea
Any Relief Dashed By the Reality
The veil of the abyss dissolves in the depths submerged in cacophony.
Crimson neural veins in Synchronicity
Synthetic coordination of an endless sea
Feel their eyes, synchronized
Disfigured flesh and butchered torso’s
They peer into, our shell-shocked minds,
With blackened bodies, in cybernetic skin
Up aboveHungry vessels live in naivety
Down below The old one brings us unity
Up above Your cities soon submerged in cacophony
Down belowLeviathans
concede to the Sixth Son in the deep
The hive cleanses,We are the pathogen
Descending into entombment
Welcome, Human
Behold the end!
I’ve witnessed the call of uncountable legions
They whisper the names of unspeakable meaning
Depleted of reason, to madness, enveloped in dread
Descend into red,
psychotic catharsis while beholding the end
The blasphemous designs
Deep in the eye of the voidSanity drowns
Behold the End
Feel the pressure obliterate your body
In devastating depths, your body transforms
Feel the pressure
obliterate your body
In devastating depths,
your body transforms
Reconstructed,
absorbed, alive, immortal
Welcome to your new genetic structure
The per-fec-tion,
Of all in the infinite
Welcome, Human.
The abyss awakens
From the sea,
The birth of my dominion
Welcome Human
The abyss awakens
