Eyes expand Opening doors of Mal Eyelids and glands Flicker putrid visions The limbs bend Into shapes of the unfathomable Feeling the dread Creating visions of the unimaginable Wider and wider Protruding into thy Pilar Sickness fills the membranes Making something beautiful Higher and higher Brain explorer Triggering new depths Presenting something pitiful Fester, pester, destroying everything all that you can muster, utter, mutters, words that you cannot even say. (Speaking in tongues) You were made by the tomb The creation of multiple grotesque processes This is the continuation of your metamorphosis Will you transcend the borders of your own mind fuck Can you even crawl like a bug slathered in muck You were made by the tomb The creation of multiple grotesque processes This is the continuation of your metamorphosis your metamorphosis Wider and wider Protruding into thy Pilar Sickness fills the membranes Making something beautiful Higher and higher Brain explorer Triggering new depths Presenting something pitiful

Seeping through the pores Slither to the surface of the malformed New being, new genes (Does this make you feel better?) (Does it?) Narcissistic, standing before the precipice Make me feel like a God Skin boils and wriggles Limbs emerge flailing (This will make you feel better) (Doesn't it?) Pain is but a privilege Torture is just progress Seeping through the pores Slither to the surface of the malformed New being, new genes Masochistic, leaping off the crevice This is how I will make the change Sadistic, diving into the cervix New life New life begins
3.
Pupils wide, embrace the nothing Transformation's futile, seek the emptiness Realizations sink in, feel the void No matter how hard you try You will always be putrid No matter what you say Visions remain lucid Keep trying worm, keep destroying yourself Wish you were never born Keep the thoughts racing You thought the procedures would help They made you even worse It was all in your head Of course Keep thinking worm, keep the doubt Nothing will work, nothing changes No matter how hard you try You will always be putrid No matter what you do Pain is all that's lucid No matter how hard you try Embrace the nothing Seek the emptiness Become the void
4.
New sequence begins Dreams and hallucinations become real Skin expands, I can feel the limbs snap My pores ooze mucous, I can feel the new shapes The walls howl as I shape shift Limbs of unknown origin Slime pouring from everywhere Slathered on my face like a pitiful fly Covered in it's own self doubt The journey continues into the halls of Gods before time and space My skin boils, melting away to show new form Innards spill like all my self hatred in my mind They said I was weak, but I've endured New life secured in pain and terror The legs burst as I fall into despair It's worth it in their eyes Am I worth your gaze now? Identity becomes of elder ones They made me into a Malcloidic Monster Am I worth your scowls? Am I worth myself?
5.
Retinas burst into worm like creatures New ocular passages open wide They are trying to tell you something Listen to them Listen to them Electric currents flow like maddening thoughts This sequence will be the most painful They will destroy your mind, body, and cerebral annihilation Just imagine aftwards you will be the beauty in the Eye of Cosms Just imagine aftwards you will be the beauty in the Eye of Cosms Be thankful worm Be grateful you maggot Let it happen x8 Submit to the tomb fully Become outre, expand into nothingness expand into nothingness Retinas burst into worm like creatures New ocular passages open wide You are progressing well Be grateful you worm Be grateful you maggot Just imagine aftwards you will be the beauty in the Eye of Cosms

Head splits open wide New self exposed to the void The Eye is pleased with my transformation Staring into the pupil of Mania My purpose has become noticed Skin splitting further down New limbs exposed to Malcloid I have become the perfect nobody A project of the unfathomable My sanity is on the verge of loss As The Eye blinks me into infinity Am I worth your scowls? Am I worth myself? Am I good enough to become who I want? The Eye turns black and blinks again As it opens again I am sent into a vacuous space This where I belong This is where I will dwell forever A product of the unimaginable A person who was vulnerable Opened up to Mania Thrown into chaos My story is meaningless I am not worth a maggot in trash I endured all this pain Just to appease The Eye turns black and blinks again As it opens I am sent into a vacuous space This is where I belong This is where I will dwell forever

about

Out on I, Voidhanger Records On April 5th 2024

Second full length album by Ohio based VENOMOUS ECHOES, "Split Formations and Infinite Mania" picks up where the previous "Writhing Tomb Amongst The Stars" left off and continues to explore cosmic horror territories in which Lovecraft's terrifying ultra-dimensional visions seem to merge with David Cronenberg's disturbing body horror.
Once again the concept of VENOMOUS ECHOES, a project by the solo multi-instrumentalist Ben Vanweelden, focuses on his own body dysmorphia and the psychological implications. The body is a prison, a space tomb that is both a place of torture and a portal to other dimensions, as sinister and unsettling as 0ndes' cover drawing. Dismemberment, decomposition and recomposition are like alchemical phases in a grotesque process of metamorphosis that is carried out through very violent songs, which shorten the stylistic distance between MORBID ANGEL at their most brutal and PORTAL's uncontrollable chaos.
Vanweelden is the author of an intense vocal performance, alternating beastly shrieks and deep growls, and more than once his vocal cords seem on the verge of breaking in a liberating cry. On the contrary, the strings of his guitar mercilessly writhe in the air like flaying whips, ringing oblique and dissonant riffs hurled against furious rhythms that occasionally plunge into death-doom abysses.
Rarely has a death metal album reached such high emotional heights, translating an intimate and personal experience into an universal cosmic horror apocalypse.
