about

God’s Image Dead is the fifth song from Sonic Assault’s debut album Neon-Lit Metropolis. The song revolves around the lyrical themes of anarchy and chaos; displaying this through an aggressive mix of technical thrash metal and hardcore, exhibiting influences from bands such as Vektor, Slayer, and Dystopia. Marking the halfway point of the album, this is the heaviest and most headbang friendly song of Neon-Lit Metropolis, opening up for the more progressive second half of the album.

lyrics

Greed fills a void
A singularity triggers
Losing control as corruption takes form
Plutocracy rises
Mankind divide

Sick to the core

Sick to the core
An infection is spreading, distorting society
Cries from the deep
An entity dies, a new one is born

God’s image is dead

Riots brought from rising rage
Smoke travelling through, shading the lights
Like an eclipse roaming by
Within the veil, terror takes place

Shelters crushed by dissidents
Streams of red floating down
Collective madness presents itself
The portrait of oppression abolished, yet soon to be returned

Order destroyed
It all falls down, yet it all comes back
Chaos ensued
Revolution's arrived, inciting genocide

Nihilism, anarchy, violence, contempt
Extremism, segregation, urban civil war
Enmity, malevolence, murder, hate
Destruction, fire; martial law rise!

Greed fills a void
A singularity triggers
Losing control as corruption takes form
Plutocracy rises
Mankind divide

Sick to the core

Sick to the core
An infection is spreading, distorting society
Cries from the deep
An entity dies, a new one is born

God's image is dead

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
